How to Use the BrightHR MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I initialize the BrightHR toolset in Pydantic AI?

Use the MCPToolset class with your hosted HTTP endpoint. Pydantic AI supports standard MCP toolsets, allowing you to pass this directly into your Agent constructor to instantly expose all BrightHR tools with strict type validation.

Q: How do I check the connection before running validation loops?

Call checkapihealth to verify that the target API is responsive. This keeps your validation pipelines from failing due to external network drops.

Validate BrightHR employee schemas at runtime using Pydantic AI to prevent silent data corruption in your HR pipelines.

Type-Safe Holiday Tracking with Pydantic AI

The `list_holiday_requests` tool fetches pending leave requests and validates them against strict Pydantic models. If the BrightHR API returns an unexpected date format, the system raises a validation error instantly. This runtime check prevents malformed leave data from entering your downstream scheduling pipelines. Your agent stops execution immediately instead of processing corrupted dates.

Strict Salary Auditing via MCP Server

The `get_employee_salary_info` tool retrieves compensation figures and maps them to typed Python classes. Pydantic AI ensures that currency fields and numeric values match your schema before your model processes them. This strict enforcement eliminates hallucinated financial figures. Your agent cannot make decisions based on malformed or guessed salary ranges.

Validate Employee Records Automatically

The `get_employee_details` and `get_employee_job_details` tools pull complete profile payloads for validation. The framework verifies that email formats, phone numbers, and job codes adhere to your exact specifications. You register the BrightHR toolset using the unified MCP HTTP class. The agent auto-discovers the tools and enforces type safety across all twelve endpoints.

Setup guide

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

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

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