Mistral Vibe: Proxy and SSL Setup With /proxy-setup
Mistral VibeMistral Vibe 2.26.1 added a /proxy-setup command to the Rust CLI for configuring proxy and SSL certificate settings. Developers behind corporate networks can now set these up from inside the app instead of editing environment variables by hand.
Key Takeaways
/proxy-setupconfigures proxy settings from within the Rust CLI.- It also covers SSL certificate settings, which corporate networks often require.
- Users can fix connectivity problems in-session instead of editing config files first.
- It targets a common first-run blocker for developers behind corporate firewalls.
- It builds on the 2.26.0 onboarding wizard to make the Rust CLI easier to adopt.
- It ships in Mistral Vibe 2.26.1 as a Rust CLI slash command.
Network Setup Without Leaving the App
Developers on corporate or restricted networks often cannot reach a model API until a proxy and a custom certificate authority are configured. Mistral Vibe 2.26.1 added the /proxy-setup command to its Rust CLI to handle exactly this. It lets users configure proxy and SSL certificate settings directly from the interface.
Why It Matters
Connection failures behind a proxy are one of the most common first-run blockers for terminal coding agents. Bringing the setup into a slash command means a user who hits a connection problem can fix it in the same session, rather than leaving to look up documentation. It complements the first-run onboarding wizard added in 2.26.0, which covers theme, API key and sign-in.
