Perplexity

Validate candidate JSON loudly

The `list_applicants` and `get_applicant` tools fetch raw candidate JSON directly from the source. Your agent runs this data through strict Pydantic models, failing loudly if the API returns a missing email or malformed resume link. You pass the Vinkius URL into `MCPToolset` and assign it to your Agent. Because Pydantic AI is model-agnostic, you can swap between a commercial API for drafting emails and a local model for parsing resumes without changing your ATS Anywhere MCP Server integration.

Enforce job posting schemas

Reading and writing roles happens via the `get_job` and `create_job` tools. If an agent tries to post a role with a missing salary band, your runtime validation catches it before the HTTP request fires. This strict typing prevents silent data corruption in your recruiting pipeline. The MCP Server handles the API translation, while your Python code guarantees the shape of the data.

Map hiring teams reliably

Mapping your hiring teams relies on the `list_sites` and `list_users` tools. The agent retrieves the current roster of recruiters and active company subdomains to route candidates correctly. Vinkius isolates this execution inside a zero-trust sandbox. Your type-safe agent gets reliable, structured data without you needing to maintain the underlying API integration.

Setup guide

Set up ATS Anywhere 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": {
        "ats-anywhere-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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