How to Use the Brandfolder MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I register the Brandfolder server in Pydantic AI?

Initialize the MCPToolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. Pass this toolset directly into your Agent constructor to give your model access to all ten asset tools.

Q: Does Pydantic AI validate Brandfolder asset metadata?

Yes, the framework validates all data returned by getassetdetails against strict Pydantic models. Any unexpected schema changes from the API trigger immediate validation failures.

Q: Can I query Brandfolder organizations using Pydantic AI?

The listplatformorganizations tool retrieves your tenant list. Pydantic AI parses this list into typed models so your agent can safely navigate corporate assets.

Q: How do I fetch asset download links?

Use the listassetattachments tool to retrieve the direct CDN delivery URLs. The agent parses these URLs into verified strings for your application to consume.

Perplexity

Strict runtime asset creation

The `create_cms_asset` tool uploads new files to your Brandfolder account using precise schema definitions. It requires specific metadata parameters before the upload execution starts. Pydantic AI validates the agent's payload against these strict types at runtime. If your agent attempts to write an asset with missing fields, the framework throws a validation error immediately.

Type-safe tag verification

The `list_asset_tags` tool returns the exact structural matching tags attached to any specific digital asset. It guarantees that the returned tag array matches your expected data model. This validation prevents silent data corruption in your downstream tasks when using this MCP Server. Your agent receives verified string arrays, ensuring your tag-based routing scripts never process null values.

Clean asset deletion using Pydantic AI

The `wipe_media_asset` tool removes a digital asset from your Brandfolder workspace permanently. It requires a verified asset ID to execute the deletion. This MCP Server integration ensures that the target ID matches the exact UUID format before executing the tool. You get predictable, error-resistant deletion workflows without risking accidental data loss.

Setup guide

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

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

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