Prerelease: no

Release notes:

Breaking

• The binaries no longer load .env or bunfig.toml from the working

directory. Export MISTRAL_API_KEY or set apiKey in your config instead. mistral apps dev still passes the app's .env to its modules.

Added

• mistral apps init uses the public capability registry on npm by default,

with no token. Pass --registry-url for a private registry.

• mistral apps init --caps fills a kind that only one capability can fill,

so --caps workflows also adds apps.

• mistral apps deploy deploys workflow workers as managed workflow

deployments.

• mistral apps deploy names the organization and workspace before creating

anything, and ends with the app URL and a Studio link.

• mistral apps deploy runs with MISTRAL_API_KEY when there is no

mistral login session, for CI.

• mistral apps dev starts a local Postgres in Docker for an app's managed

database.

• Capabilities can declare pre-start commands, such as migrations, which

mistral apps dev runs before starting the module.

• apps.json modules take a routes list. A route marked mcp turns on MCP

client sign-in in apps dev and on deploy. routePrefix is migrated automatically.

• mistral apps dev opens the app in the browser once it is ready.
• The installer offers to add ~/.mistral/bin to your PATH and explains how

to turn on shell completions.

• mistral apps commands send usage telemetry. Set

MISTRAL_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to turn it off.

Changed

• mistral apps dev, config, capability, registry and modules no

longer need a feature flag. deploy, publish and unpublish still do.

• mistral apps deploy deploys every module at once. A failed module no longer

stops the others, and the command fails at the end naming each one.

• The first mistral apps deploy commits and pushes the apps.json change it

makes. It asks first on a terminal, and needs --yes otherwise.

• mistral apps dev calls the Mistral API as the organization and workspace

from mistral login, and only falls back to MISTRAL_API_KEY without one.

• mistral apps capability init sets metadata.public explicitly.

Fixed

• A mistral login session renews itself instead of expiring with its token.
• Workflow deployments are created hardened, so workflows that act for the

signed-in user can register.

• Feature-flagged commands appear on the first run after signing in.
• CLI output on stderr is no longer printed in red.
• Spinners fit the terminal width instead of flooding it.
• mistral apps publish links to the app's own Studio workspace.
• uv lock and bun add get credentials for private registries the app

declares.

• mistral apps registry check only requires a deploy start command on server

modules.
