How to Use the Apollo.io MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I register the Apollo.io MCP Server toolset in Pydantic AI?

Import MCPToolset from the library and initialize it with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. Pass this toolset directly into the toolsets argument of your Pydantic AI Agent.

Q: Can Pydantic AI monitor our Apollo.io API health and credits?

Yes, your agent can call getapihealth and getcreditinfo to verify your account status and remaining balance. The returned structures are parsed into type-safe models for reliable runtime checks.

Q: Is the deprecated MCPServerHTTP class still used for Apollo.io MCP integrations?

No, you should use the unified MCPToolset class instead. The older transport-specific classes are deprecated in recent versions of the library.

Type-safe search with Pydantic AI

`search_people` executes queries and returns structured prospect profiles that Pydantic AI validates against strict Python type definitions at runtime. If the API payload contains unexpected null values or malformed email addresses, the framework raises a validation error immediately. This strict verification guarantees that your agent never processes corrupt contact data. You avoid the silent failures common in LLM applications, ensuring that every lead passed to your sales team has a verified structure.

Validate profile enrichment via MCP Server

`enrich_person_data` and `enrich_company_data` pull deep contact and firmographic metadata into your type-safe agent. Pydantic AI parses these complex JSON objects into strongly-typed models, verifying fields like employee count and corporate domains before they reach your database. By enforcing schemas at the integration boundary, you protect your downstream CRM from dirty data. This MCP Server lets the agent confidently use `get_saved_contact` knowing that every retrieved field matches your internal schema requirements exactly.

Secure sequence injection

`add_to_sequence` registers validated leads into your sales campaigns only after passing strict validation rules. Your agent checks active campaigns with `list_sales_sequences` and maps them to typed Python enums to prevent invalid sequence assignments. This runtime check prevents your agent from sending prospects to the wrong email sequences. The agent verifies the sender's account status using `list_connected_emails` before attempting to enqueue any contacts, ensuring high deliverability.

Setup guide

Set up Apollo.io 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": {
        "apolloio-alternative-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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