Connect Cohere to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any other MCP client, for your whole team. Metorial adds security, governance, and tracing, and gives everyone one Magic MCP URL to connect.
Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

Supported Tools
rerank_documents
Rerank Documents
Rerank a list of documents by semantic relevance to a query using Cohere's Rerank models. Useful for improving search quality by re-ordering results from any existing search system based on meaning rather than keyword matching.
delete_dataset
Delete Dataset
Delete a dataset from your Cohere account by its ID. Datasets are automatically deleted after 30 days, but this allows immediate removal.
cancel_embed_job
Cancel Embed Job
Cancel an active embed job. You will be charged for embeddings processed up to the cancellation point.
chat
Chat
Generate text responses using Cohere's Command family of models. Supports multi-turn conversations with system prompts, tool use for calling external APIs, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with inline citations. Can be configured for reasoning tasks with adjustable thinking budgets.
create_embed_job
Create Embed Job
Launch an asynchronous batch embedding job to embed a large dataset (100K+ documents). Results are stored as a new hosted dataset. Best suited for encoding large corpora for retrieval use cases.
tokenize_text
Tokenize Text
Split text into tokens using byte-pair encoding (BPE) for a specific Cohere model. Useful for estimating costs, understanding how a model processes input, and checking token limits before making API calls.
list_models
List Models
List available Cohere models with their capabilities. Filter by endpoint type (chat, embed, rerank, etc.) to find models compatible with a specific use case.
list_embed_jobs
List Embed Jobs
List all embed jobs in your Cohere account, including their status, model, and associated datasets.
detokenize_tokens
Detokenize Tokens
Convert an array of token IDs back into text using a specific Cohere model's tokenizer. The inverse of tokenization.
get_dataset
Get Dataset
Retrieve details about a specific dataset by its ID, including its type, validation status, and metadata.
list_datasets
List Datasets
List datasets stored in your Cohere account. Datasets are used for batch embedding jobs and can be filtered by type, date, and validation status.
embed_text
Embed Content
Generate embeddings using Cohere's Embed models for text, image data URIs, or mixed text/image inputs. Returns vector representations useful for semantic search, classification, clustering, and similarity comparisons. Supports configurable dimensionality and multiple output formats.
get_embed_job
Get Embed Job
Get the current status and details of a specific embed job by its ID.
transcribe_audio
Transcribe Audio
Transcribe speech from an uploaded audio file using Cohere Transcribe. Supports the current Cohere audio transcription endpoint for automatic speech recognition.
get_dataset_usage
Get Dataset Usage
View total Cohere hosted dataset storage usage for the organization.
create_dataset
Create Dataset
Create a Cohere hosted dataset by uploading a CSV, JSONL, or text file. Embed-input datasets can be used later with batch embed jobs.
get_model
Get Model
Retrieve detailed metadata for a Cohere model, including supported endpoints, context length, tokenizer URL, feature flags, and default sampling parameters.

Run Cohere through the Metorial gateway
One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.
Give Cohere and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
Scope which teams and agents can use Cohere tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
Generate text and chat completions using Cohere's Command family of large language models, with support for multi-turn conversations, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), tool use, reasoning, vision, structured output, and translation. Create text and image embeddings for semantic search, classification, and clustering. Rerank search results by semantic relevance. Transcribe speech audio. Manage batch embedding jobs and datasets for large-scale document processing. Tokenize and detokenize text for cost estimation. List available models and their capabilities.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Cohere to AI agents with Metorial.
How many tools does the Cohere MCP server have?
The Cohere MCP server exposes 17 tools, including Rerank Documents, Delete Dataset, Cancel Embed Job. Each one is governed and traced through Metorial.
Does the Cohere MCP server support triggers?
Cohere exposes tools your agents call on demand; it does not publish event triggers yet. Everything still runs through one governed MCP URL.
Which AI clients can use the Cohere MCP server?
Any MCP client, including VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, OpenCode and Grok. Each one reaches the Cohere MCP server through the same Metorial URL.
How do I give only some teams access to Cohere?
Use role-based access control to decide which teams, users, and agents can use Cohere and which of its tools they can call.
Can I self-host the Cohere MCP server?
Yes. Metorial is open source, so you can run the Cohere MCP server yourself or use the hosted gateway.
