description Overview
mcp-cohere — Cohere MCP Server
Generate text, embed documents for semantic search, rerank results, classify inputs, summarize content, and detect language using Cohere's enterprise AI platform.
Live endpoint: https://mcp.aerostack.dev/s/aerostack/mcp-cohere
What You Can Do
This MCP server gives AI agents access to Cohere via 10 tools. Connect it to any Aerostack workspace and your agents can interact with Cohere directly.
Available Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
chat |
Send a message to a Cohere model and get a response. Supports multi-turn conversation history and optional grounding with documents |
embed |
Generate embeddings for a list of texts using Cohere Embed. Useful for semantic search and similarity comparison |
rerank |
Rerank a list of documents by relevance to a query. Returns documents sorted by relevance score |
classify |
Classify texts into categories using few-shot examples. Provide example texts and their labels |
generate |

Frequently asked questions
What is the Cohere MCP server and what can it do? +
The Cohere MCP server is hosted on Aerostack and exposes these tools to your AI agent: `_ping`, `chat`, `embed`, `rerank`, `classify`. You get one hosted URL — no self-hosting — that works from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client, and you can share it with your team or combine it with other MCP servers in a workspace.
Is the Cohere MCP server hosted, or do I have to run it myself? +
It's hosted on Aerostack's edge infrastructure — you don't deploy or maintain anything. Add it to a workspace and you get one authenticated URL, with secrets encrypted, that any AI agent or editor can connect to. Use it solo or share the same URL across your whole team.
Which AI agents and editors can use the Cohere MCP server? +
Any MCP client: Claude and Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code, and custom agents. Because it's one hosted URL, the same Cohere MCP server works everywhere — and you can compose it with other MCP servers, skills, and functions behind a single workspace URL.
How do I install the Cohere MCP server in Claude Desktop? +
Add the following to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "@aerostack/mcp-cohere": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-cohere"] } } } ``` Then restart Claude Desktop and the tools will appear automatically.
How do I use the Cohere MCP server in Cursor? +
In Cursor, open **Settings → MCP** and add: ```json { "name": "@aerostack/mcp-cohere", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@aerostack/@aerostack/mcp-cohere"] } ``` Save and reload Cursor. The MCP tools will be available in Agent mode.
Does Cohere MCP require authentication? +
Yes. Cohere requires authentication. Check the MCP's documentation for the required credentials.
