Validated smart home commands for Pydantic AI

Ensure every command sent to your devices is structured correctly. `set_brightness` and `set_volume` enforce strict parameter types to prevent invalid requests. Toggle power for your switches or plugs with `turn_on_alexa_device` and `turn_off_alexa_device`. Because Pydantic AI validates the response, you catch errors before they affect your hardware.

Precise state retrieval

Read your home data using `get_thermostat_state` or `get_temperature_sensor`. Every value returned is parsed against your models so your agent logic stays clean. Query device statuses like `get_power_state` or `get_speaker_state` to confirm current levels. If the server returns unexpected data, the framework fails loudly to protect your agent's state.

Maintain your device inventory with this MCP Server

Call `list_alexa_devices` to pull your hardware list into your type-safe environment. It provides the endpoint IDs needed to target specific devices. Rename or reassign devices using `update_alexa_device_name` or `update_device_room`. These tools ensure your device database stays in sync with your physical setup.

Setup guide

Set up Alexa Smart Home 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": {
        "alexa-smart-home-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent Alexa Smart Home transactions")
print(result.output)

Common questions about Alexa Smart Home MCP in Pydantic AI

The framework matches the JSON response from the server against your defined Pydantic models. If the schema doesn't match, the agent throws a validation error immediately.

Yes, you can fetch sensor readings through the server tools. The framework ensures the temperature data you receive is correctly typed for your logic.

The tools expose clear parameter requirements that integrate with your agent's type-checking. This prevents incorrect arguments from being sent to your devices.

You wrap your tool calls in standard Python exception handling. The server communicates connectivity issues clearly so your agent can react accordingly.

Data is processed through a secure, ephemeral tunnel that prevents unauthorized access. No long-term logs of your specific device interactions are kept on our infrastructure.
