Mistral Vibe: Connectors and Interactive Forms Come to ACP

Mistral VibeView original changelog

Mistral Vibe extended ACP support so IDE clients like VS Code, JetBrains, and Zed can now use its Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive connectors directly. Elicitation-form clients can also answer ask_user_question and exit_plan_mode through native in-editor forms instead of a terminal. The update continues Mistral Vibe's pattern of bringing flagship CLI capabilities, following Teleport, Rewind, and review/approve/revert, to the ACP surface.

Key Takeaways

  • Seven connectors now reachable from ACP: Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive are usable directly inside IDE clients like VS Code, JetBrains, and Zed.
  • Elicitation-form clients can answer prompts natively: ask_user_question and exit_plan_mode now render as in-editor forms instead of dropping users back to a terminal.
  • The update continues Mistral Vibe's pattern of extending flagship CLI features to the ACP surface, following teleport, rewind, and review/approve/revert before it.
  • The change reduces context switching for IDE-first developers, who no longer need a terminal window open to interact with connector data.
  • Connector discovery now skips unsupported protocols automatically, avoiding failed connection attempts in IDE clients.
  • The update deepens Mistral Vibe's IDE story at a time when its ACP integration already spans multiple major editors.

Connectors Arrive Inside ACP

Mistral Vibe extended its Agent Client Protocol (ACP) support to cover connectors, meaning developers using IDE clients such as VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, or Zed can now use Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive connectors without leaving their editor. Previously, connector access was effectively tied to the terminal-based CLI experience; this update brings it to any client that speaks ACP.

Interactive Forms Replace Terminal Prompts

Alongside connectors, Mistral Vibe added support for elicitation-form clients answering ask_user_question and exit_plan_mode directly through native in-editor forms. Instead of dropping back to a terminal to answer a clarifying question or confirm an exit from plan mode, IDE users can now respond through a form rendered inside the same interface they are already coding in.

Part of a Larger Pattern

This release continues a pattern Mistral Vibe has followed since mid-2026: take a flagship CLI capability and bring it to ACP-connected IDEs. Teleport, Rewind, and the review/approve/revert workflow all made this same jump earlier in the year. Connectors and interactive elicitation are the latest additions, further narrowing the gap between the terminal and IDE experience. A smaller companion change also makes connector discovery skip unsupported protocols automatically, avoiding failed connection attempts when a client does not support a given transport.
