Type-safe article tools for Pydantic AI

Ensure your content pipelines are rock solid. Every call to `create_article` or `update_article` is validated against Pydantic models at runtime. If the Forem API returns data that doesn't match your schema, the agent stops immediately. This prevents bad data from corrupting your article database.

Structured content discovery for Pydantic AI

Use `list_articles` to pull clean, typed data into your agent's memory. You get guaranteed field types for everything from titles to author IDs. It makes building complex logic around `get_article_by_id` simple. You know exactly what fields are present, allowing for precise data manipulation.

Authoritative user lookups in Pydantic AI

Stop guessing about user data. `get_user` and `list_org_users` return objects that adhere to your strict type definitions. Your agent can now programmatically verify contributors or assign tasks based on verified user IDs. It is the safest way to manage your Forem community.

pydantic-ai-slim[fastmcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install Pydantic AI with FastMCP

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.
