Do you want to connect your ERP with Mistral? The assistant from the French company Mistral AI, formerly Le Chat and now Vibe, supports custom connectors. iWeb AI Connect is set up within a few minutes. After that you query your ERP environment in the chat and get answers from your live figures.
Below you can read how to connect Mistral with your ERP, which questions you can ask and what to watch out for. Are you looking for the general explanation, separate from an AI tool? You will find it in How does the iWeb AI Connect connector work?
Does Mistral work with your ERP?
Yes. Mistral works with your ERP through iWeb AI Connect, a connector based on MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard that links AI with your own software. Mistral calls this a Custom MCP Connector. You do not log in to your ERP itself, you fill in the details of your ERP environment on the connector page of iWebDevelopment. If you prefer to work with a European AI provider, Mistral is a logical choice. Which subscription you need for iWeb AI Connect is explained on the iWeb AI Connect page.
Connecting your ERP with Mistral, step by step
This is the connector link that you add to Mistral:
https://mcp-afas.iwebdevelopment.com
You need administrator rights to add a connector. If you are the account owner, you have those automatically. If you work with Mistral Team or Enterprise, ask your administrator.
1Go to chat.mistral.ai and open Connectors in the sidebar.
2Click + Add Connector and choose the Custom MCP Connector tab.
3Under Connector name, enter a name without spaces or punctuation, for example iWebAIConnect. Paste the connector link into the Server URL field.
4Click Connect. You will be redirected to the connector page of iWebDevelopment. Fill in the details of your ERP environment and connect. You only have to do this once.
5Start a conversation in Work, check in the tools menu that iWebAIConnect is enabled and ask your question.
Tip: under Connectors → My Connectors you can open iWebAIConnect and choose the Functions tab. There you decide per function whether Mistral asks for permission first. Functions that only retrieve data can be set to Always allow. Leave functions that create or change something on manual approval.
What can you ask Mistral about your bookkeeping?
As soon as the connector is active, you query your ERP administration directly. Mistral finds the answer in your figures and can, once you approve, also prepare something for you. A few examples:
"What is the turnover per period this year, compared with last year?"
"Which debtors have the largest arrears?"
"Which sales relations have no email address filled in?"
"Prepare a draft entry in the MEMO journal for these costs."
Looking things up and preparing them, with you at the controls. Mistral first asks for permission, and only then is it processed in your ERP. What is possible depends on the rights you grant to the App Connector. You will find the complete overview of what the connector can do in How does the iWeb AI Connect connector work?
Is the connector with Mistral secure?
Your bookkeeping data stays in your ERP. Through the rights on the App Connector you decide exactly which data Mistral may view and which actions are allowed. You do not share your password with the AI tool. You can revoke access again whenever you want. Read more about security and privacy in the general connector article.
Please note: on the personal Mistral subscriptions, conversations are used by default to train models. If you work with financial data, turn that off in the management panel of your account. On Mistral Team and Enterprise, training is off by default.
Yes, if you have administrator rights. If you are the account owner yourself, you have them automatically. If you work with Mistral Team or Enterprise, ask your administrator. For iWeb AI Connect itself you need a subscription with iWebDevelopment. You can read about the available options on the iWeb AI Connect page.
First check whether iWebAIConnect is enabled in the tools menu before you ask your question. If you still get nothing back, check whether the App Connector in your ERP has been given the right permissions.
Yes, Mistral can prepare a sales invoice or a draft entry, for example. Mistral asks for permission first, and it is only processed within the permissions you have granted to the App Connector.
No. You enter your ERP environment details once on the iWebDevelopment connector page, not in Mistral itself. Through the permissions on the App Connector you decide which data the AI may view and which actions are allowed.
The current subscriptions and prices are listed on the iWeb AI Connect page. There you can also see what is included with each subscription and what additional administrations cost.
