Type-safe tax records with Pydantic AI

Execute `create_tax_transaction` with the confidence that your inputs match your schema. If the API returns garbage, your agent crashes immediately rather than propagating bad tax data. Your code stays clean and predictable. Every response from the server is validated against your Pydantic models at runtime.

Validated address resolution for Pydantic AI

Force your agent to use `resolve_tax_address` to verify every shipping location. It validates the address structure before you create a tax record. This avoids silent errors in your tax logic. Your agent won't proceed unless the address meets the requirements.

Tax status checks in Pydantic AI

Verify your connection health using `check_api_status` inside your agent logic. It ensures the server is reachable before you attempt a transaction. You can also list supported codes with `list_tax_codes` to ensure your data matches the system requirements. Your Pydantic models handle the response safely.

Setup guide

Set up Avalara AvaTax 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": {

)

result = await agent.run("List recent Avalara AvaTax transactions")
