Perplexity

Validate auction item data with this MCP Server

The `get_clickbid_item` tool fetches detailed auction listings and validates them against strict Python type definitions. Pydantic AI catches any malformed item data before your agent can display it to a potential bidder. If a description is missing a required field, the framework raises a validation error immediately. This structural safety prevents your UI from breaking during live, high-pressure bidding environments.

Safe bidder registration and profile updates

The `create_clickbid_bidder` tool registers new event participants while enforcing strict data schemas. Your agent cannot pass invalid phone numbers or email structures because the Pydantic layer rejects bad inputs at the boundary. For existing profiles, `update_clickbid_bidder` lets you modify records with the same level of safety. The tool ensures that updated bidder data matches your database requirements before saving the changes.

Type-safe donation tracking and ticket lookups

The `list_clickbid_donations` tool pulls event transaction records into a validated Python list. Your agent processes these donations knowing every amount, timestamp, and donor ID conforms exactly to your expected types. You can also run `list_clickbid_bidders` to map these donations to specific users. The framework guarantees that the returned bidder models contain valid IDs, eliminating runtime errors during data mapping.

Setup guide

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

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

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