How to Use the CoinMarketCal MCP in Pydantic AI

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

Install pydantic-ai-slimmcp and instantiate the MCPToolset with your HTTP server URL. Pass this toolset into your Agent's toolsets argument to register the tools.

Q: How does Pydantic AI validate data returned by CoinMarketCal?

The framework intercepts the raw JSON from tools like listevents and parses it against Pydantic models. Any missing or malformed fields trigger a validation error immediately.

Validate CoinMarketCal data instantly with Pydantic AI

This MCP Server brings structural integrity to crypto calendar tracking through `list_events` and `get_event_details`. If the API payload changes, your Pydantic AI agent catches the mismatch immediately instead of failing silently. You connect the server using `MCPToolset` to expose all nine tools to your agent. The framework validates every field returned by `list_coins` against your strict Python type hints.

Search events safely with strict runtime checks

The `search_events_by_coin` and `search_events_by_date` tools allow your agent to build precise timeline queries. Because Pydantic AI enforces type safety, your code knows exactly what fields to expect in the event payload. This setup prevents common LLM hallucinations when parsing dates or coin IDs. Your agent uses `get_coin_id` to resolve ambiguous tickers, ensuring the downstream query always uses a valid ID.

Track trending market events without silent errors

The `list_popular_events` and `list_trending_events` tools help you build reliable market monitors. If a trending event lacks a description, your validation models handle the null field gracefully. You can also use `list_categories` to build dynamic validation schemas. This lets your agent verify that a retrieved event fits within expected classifications before processing it.

Setup guide

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

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

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