Pydantic AI Validates Every Payroll Record

Fetching financial data demands absolute precision, which is why your agent uses the `get_income` and `list_payouts` tools through strict runtime models. If the API returns a string instead of a float for a salary total, the framework fails loudly. You catch the validation error immediately instead of silently corrupting your database. Connecting the service takes one line of code using `MCPToolset`. You pass the Vinkius URL, and the framework handles the Streamable HTTP transport. This unified approach replaces the deprecated HTTP server classes while keeping your application type-safe.

Type-Safe Employment Histories

The `get_employment` tool retrieves a user's past jobs, and your agent verifies every date and employer name against your expected schema. Model-agnostic design means you can run this logic through Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Llama model. The MCP Server standardizes the input so the LLM always knows what to do. Managing verified PII requires exact field matching. When your agent calls the `list_identities` tool, it expects specific demographic structures. Pydantic guarantees that the resulting dictionary matches your Python classes perfectly.

Reliable User Provisioning

Setting up new accounts relies on the `create_user` and `list_users` tools. Your agent constructs the exact JSON payload required because Pydantic enforces the parameter types before the request ever leaves your server. Vinkius receives the validated payload and executes the creation in a secure V8 Isolate Sandbox. Checking connection health with the `get_account_check` tool follows the same rigorous process. Your agent knows definitively if a user linked their payroll provider. There is no guessing about the API response format.

Setup guide

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

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

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