Strict schema validation for Pydantic AI

Every response from `list_cats` is validated against your defined Pydantic models. If the schema shifts, the agent stops immediately. This prevents malformed data from polluting your logic. You get runtime guarantees that every cat object matches your application requirements.

Type-safe image metadata handling

Your agent uses `get_random_cat` to pull data into a typed structure. Pydantic AI ensures the fields are correct before your business logic runs. It eliminates silent errors. You don't have to write manual checks for every field returned by the server.

Custom meme creation with type safety

Invoke `get_cat_with_text` knowing the output is verified by your models. It is the safest way to include generated assets in your workflow. Because the MCP Server responds with consistent formats, your Pydantic schemas stay stable. It removes the guesswork from handling external API data.

Setup guide

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

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

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