Cohere MCP Server
Use Cohere models (Command R, Command R+) for enterprise-grade retrieval and multilingual chat.
Quick Answer / TL;DR
The Cohere MCP server establishes a secure, local or remote JSON-RPC 2.0 communication tunnel, allowing AI models (like Claude or Cursor) to automatically discover and execute capabilities (tools, prompts, and resources) within the Cohere ecosystem with extremely low latency.
