Perplexity

Trigger verified runs with Pydantic AI

Prevent runtime failures by letting Pydantic AI validate the arguments for `create_build` and `rebuild` before hitting the Buildkite API. This ensures your Pydantic AI agent never sends malformed payloads to Buildkite. If the Buildkite API returns unexpected data, Pydantic AI raises a validation error instead of letting your agent make decisions on corrupt data.

Monitor Buildkite agents safely with Pydantic AI

Audit your self-hosted runners using Pydantic AI to validate the output of `list_agents`. This guarantees your Pydantic AI agent gets clean, typed data about your Buildkite infrastructure. The agent can also verify its access scopes using `get_access_token_info` and list workspaces with `list_organizations` under Pydantic AI's strict type checks.

Query Buildkite MCP Server history with strict schemas

Pull build history using `list_pipeline_builds` or `list_all_builds` to generate automated reports within your Pydantic AI application. This Buildkite MCP Server returns structured data that Pydantic AI parses into typed models. The agent extracts specific fields from `get_build` and validates them using Pydantic AI schemas, allowing it to safely call `cancel_build` if a run fails.

Setup guide

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

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

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