Perplexity

Type-safe text processing via MCP Server

Throwing unstructured text at an LLM usually results in unpredictable garbage. Pydantic AI fixes this by enforcing strict runtime validation on every single response. When your agent calls `ai21_segment_text` or `ai21_summarize_text`, the framework checks the output against your exact Pydantic models. If the server returns a string when you expect a list, the agent fails loudly. No silent data corruption.

Perfectly formatted rewrites

Building an automated editor requires precise control over the output. You want the text changed, but you need the JSON structure to remain intact. Wire up `ai21_paraphrase_text` and `ai21_grammar_correction`. Your agent sends the raw draft to the server. The models rewrite the content, and Pydantic AI guarantees the final payload matches your schema before passing it to your database.

Managed document Q&A

Building your own retrieval system is a massive headache. You have to chunk text, generate embeddings, and manage a vector store. Skip all of that. Upload your files and use `ai21_contextual_answers`. The server handles the retrieval logic internally. You can verify what is currently hosted using `ai21_list_files` and clean up with `ai21_delete_file` when the job finishes.

Setup guide

Set up AI21 Labs MCP in Pydantic AI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
pydantic-ai-slim[fastmcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install Pydantic AI with FastMCP
Run pip install "pydantic-ai-slim[fastmcp]". The FastMCP toolset replaces the deprecated MCPServerHTTP class with full protocol support.
2

Configure the FastMCPToolset
Pass a JSON-style config dict to FastMCPToolset with your Vinkius URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports Streamable HTTP, SSE, and Stdio transports.
3

Create and run your agent
Pass the toolset to Agent(toolsets=[toolset]) and call agent.run(). Swap openai:gpt-4o for any supported model — Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or Groq.

agent.py

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.toolsets.fastmcp import FastMCPToolset

toolset = FastMCPToolset({
    "mcpServers": {
        "ai21-labs-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

agent = Agent(
    "openai:gpt-4o",
    toolsets=[toolset],
    system_prompt="You have access to AI21 Labs tools.",
)

result = await agent.run("List recent AI21 Labs transactions")
print(result.output)

Common questions about AI21 Labs MCP in Pydantic AI

Run `pip install "pydantic-ai-slim[mcp]"`. Use the unified `MCPToolset` class with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass that into your agent's `toolsets` array.

Yes. Your agent can call the upload, list, and delete endpoints just like any other function. The framework validates the file IDs returned by the server.

Yes, you can. The framework is model-agnostic. You can use a local Llama model to run the agent logic while relying on the server for specialized grammar correction.

Use Streamable HTTP. The older HTTP classes are deprecated. Just pass your Vinkius URL into the toolset constructor and it handles the rest.

Your drafts process inside a zero-trust V8 isolate. Vinkius never logs the content of your requests. Once the corrected text returns to your agent, the sandbox vanishes.
