Type-safe store management with Pydantic AI

Every response from `get_sku` or `list_orders` is validated against your Pydantic models at runtime. If the API returns a malformed field, your agent stops immediately to prevent bad data from spreading. This approach gives you confidence in your automation. You'll know exactly what the data looks like before the agent attempts to process it further.

Validate customer and order data

The agent uses `search_orders_by_email` to find records, with the results cast automatically into your defined schemas. It keeps your logic clean and free of unexpected null values. Errors are caught at the boundary. You'll see descriptive validation failures if the server sends anything that doesn't fit your strict type definitions.

Monitor store stats using Pydantic AI

Run `get_order_stats` to get numbers that match your expected types. The agent reports the results back in a format that your downstream processes can trust. This MCP Server provides the structure, and Pydantic AI ensures the integrity. You'll spend less time debugging data issues and more time building features.

Setup guide

Set up Commerce Layer 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": {
        "commerce-layer-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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