How to Use the Circle.so MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I initialize the Circle.so MCP Server in Pydantic AI?

You use the MCPToolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint and pass it to your Agent. This connects your Pydantic AI agent to all 8 Circle.so tools.

Q: Can I use Pydantic AI to validate Circle.so events?

Yes, you can. The agent uses listcommunityevents to retrieve schedules and validates the date formats and attendee lists against your Pydantic schemas.

Build type-safe Pydantic AI agents that validate every Circle.so community response at runtime to prevent bad data.

Perplexity

Validate member lists using Pydantic AI

The `list_community_members` tool fetches user profiles and forces them through strict runtime type validation. If a profile contains unexpected fields, your agent catches the error immediately instead of passing bad data downstream. This strict validation guarantees that your Pydantic AI agent only processes clean member records. You avoid silent data corruption when syncing your community directory with external databases.

Map community spaces via this MCP Server

Using `list_community_spaces` and `list_space_groups`, your agent inspects your community's architecture. The MCP Server returns structured payloads that match your Pydantic models perfectly. Because Pydantic AI is model-agnostic, you can swap your underlying LLM from OpenAI to Anthropic while keeping the exact same validation rules for your Circle.so spaces. Your schema definitions remain the single source of truth.

Parse comments and events securely

The `list_post_comments` and `list_community_events` tools let your agent audit user discussions and upcoming schedules. Every comment and event payload is validated against strict schemas before your agent processes them. If the Circle.so API format changes, your agent fails loudly and immediately. This prevents your automation from posting broken data or misinterpreting community schedules.

Setup guide

Set up Circle.so 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": {
        "circleso-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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