Perplexity

Validate Alai responses with Pydantic AI models

Every tool call like `list_templates` is validated against your defined models. If the server returns malformed data, your agent stops immediately instead of propagating bad state. This prevents silent failures during your content generation cycles. You get a clear error message that identifies exactly which field failed the validation check.

Generate headshots with strict type enforcement

Trigger `generate_content` and have the agent verify the output structure before proceeding. Pydantic AI checks that the image URL and metadata match your expected schema. This ensures your application logic never crashes due to unexpected API changes. You can rely on the data being exactly what your code expects.

Audit your assets using Pydantic AI

Use `list_generations` to fetch your recent work. The framework parses the array of objects into your local Python models for easy filtering. Once you have the list, use `get_generation` to drill down into a specific result. The type-safety makes debugging your agent's decision-making process much faster.

Setup guide

Set up Alai 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": {
        "alai-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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