How to Use the Checkfront MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I initialize the Checkfront MCP Server in Pydantic AI?

Install pydantic-ai-slimmcp. Pass your Vinkius HTTP URL to MCPToolset and assign it to the toolsets parameter in your Agent constructor. Do not use the deprecated MCPServerHTTP.

Q: Can Pydantic AI read Checkfront availability?

The framework calls checkavailability to get the current inventory. It validates the response structure before the LLM even sees it.

Q: What customer data does Checkfront send to Pydantic AI?

It returns total spend, waivers, and contact info via searchcustomers. Every field gets type-checked against your models at runtime.

Q: How do I list my catalog items?

Use listitems for the raw inventory or listcategories to get groupings with item counts. The agent parses the exact hierarchy.

Validate Checkfront bookings in Pydantic AI

The `get_booking` and `list_bookings` tools fetch reservation data that Pydantic AI validates at runtime. It doesn't guess. If the API returns a missing date or malformed ID, the agent fails loudly instead of hallucinating a response. You know exactly what data your agent works with. It grabs the schedule for Saturday's tours and maps every field to your predefined Pydantic schemas before taking any action.

Read availability safely

Calling `check_availability` checks open slots for any tour or rental item. The agent verifies the exact capacity remaining before telling a customer they can book. Want to show options? The `list_items` and `list_categories` tools pull your catalog, complete with item counts. You pass this MCP Server to your agent using the unified `MCPToolset` approach.

Type-check customer profiles via MCP Server

The `search_customers` tool queries your database for contact info, total spend, and waivers on file. Pydantic AI ensures the spend comes back as a number, not a string, preventing downstream crashes. When you need specific account details, `get_account` handles the retrieval. You plug the Vinkius endpoint into your code, and the framework enforces strict types on every single customer record.

Setup guide

Set up Checkfront 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": {
        "checkfront-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

    system_prompt="You have access to Checkfront tools.",
)

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