Using Mistral Vibe with lite.computer

Mistral Vibe is Mistral AI's open-source coding agent for the terminal. It explores a codebase, edits files and runs changes from plain-language requests, using Mistral's own models. Developers are its audience.

It runs on macOS and Linux and needs Python 3.12 or later. Work happens in the folder you start it in, and the same agent is available inside the Zed editor. Mistral's documentation now also lists it as Vibe Code CLI.

Set it up

In lite.computer, click the account button at the bottom of the sidebar (it reads Free trial until you buy), choose Agent Helper, and copy the Setup prompt. Paste it into Mistral Vibe. It remembers where your Showspace is and tries to connect to lite.computer, then tells you whether the connection works now or only from your next conversation. It asks before each step and tells you when it needs your help. If you would rather Mistral Vibe check first, ask it to read lite.computer/setup instead.
Keep lite.computer open on your Showspace and ask Use the lite.computer tool to list every page in my Showspace. It lists the pages in your folder.

Try this prompt

Here is a starter prompt. How well it works depends on how your AI is set up, so adjust it to fit yours.

Paste into Mistral Vibe

Map this repository as an interactive page: a clickable diagram of the main modules and how they depend on each other, a search box for files, and an animated chart of how many source files are in each module. Save it as a single self-contained HTML file in my Showspace, then open it in lite.computer.

Good to know

To save pages from any project, start Vibe with --add-dir followed by your Showspace path, or approve the Showspace when Vibe asks.
We have not tested Mistral Vibe with lite.computer ourselves. These instructions are based on research. Try saving one HTML page to your Showspace first. If a step needs correcting, email hello@lite.computer.

Questions

Does Mistral Vibe work with lite.computer?

Yes. Mistral Vibe running in a terminal on your Mac saves HTML pages into your Showspace, and lite.computer shows each one as it lands. Once it is connected to the app, it can open pages and arrange windows there as well.

Is Vibe Code CLI the same as Mistral Vibe?

Yes. Mistral launched it as Mistral Vibe CLI in December 2025, and its documentation now lists it as Vibe Code CLI.

What do I need to use Mistral Vibe?

A Mistral API key from console.mistral.ai. The software is free and open source.
