Route requests through a gateway

Send chat requests and the model catalog through your own endpoint — a proxy, an auditing gateway, or a self-hosted relay. You need this when your network requires a middle hop.

Prerequisites

The pi-mistral-native package installed
A gateway that proxies Mistral’s chat-completions and models endpoints

Set the base URL. Pick one method:
- Command
- File
/mistral set endpoint.baseUrl https://gateway.example.com/mistral/v1
Add this to your user config file:
{ "endpoint": { "baseUrl": "https://gateway.example.com/mistral/v1" } }
Verify the endpoint:
```
/mistral
```
The status card shows Effective chat endpoint: with your URL.
Confirm the gateway answers:
```
/mistral test
```
The probe hits the same endpoint the chat stream posts to — a $VAR or !command base URL is honored here too.

The value supports the config-value protocol ($VAR, ${VAR}, !command) — see Keep secrets out of the config file.
