Perplexity

Type-safe dictionary lookups

Pydantic AI validates every `get_word_definition` response against your defined models. If the dictionary returns unexpected keys, your agent rejects the data immediately. Define your expected schema. The framework handles the parsing and ensures your agent logic never breaks due to malformed dictionary entries.

Strict toolset integration

The MCPToolset class connects your Pydantic AI agent to the DictionaryAPI.dev server. You get a clean, validated interface for fetching phonetics and usage examples. Pass the toolset to your agent instance. Your code remains type-aware, which helps you catch bugs before you even run the script.

Fail loud with Pydantic AI

If the `get_word_definition` tool fails or returns bad data, your agent stops and reports the validation error. This prevents silent corruption in your pipeline. This is critical for production systems. You don't guess if the definition is correct; you know it matches your schema exactly.

Setup guide

Set up DictionaryAPI.dev 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": {
        "dictionaryapidev-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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