Type-safe extraction with Pydantic AI

Use `extract_article` or `extract_product` and let Pydantic AI validate the output against your models at runtime. If the structure doesn't match, you catch it immediately. This prevents silent failures in your data pipeline. Your agent only works with data that strictly adheres to the types you define.

Precise tool usage in Pydantic AI

Expose only the tools your Pydantic AI agent needs. Whether it's `extract_discussion` for sentiment analysis or `extract_job` for recruiting, you keep your toolset lean. Efficiency is the goal. You define the schema, the tool provides the data, and your agent processes it with absolute type safety.

Reliable data ingestion for Pydantic AI

Rely on `analyze_page` to handle varied web structures. When combined with Pydantic AI, you ensure that even dynamic content maps correctly to your application models. This approach eliminates the need for manual parsing code. You focus on your business logic while the MCP server handles the dirty work of web extraction.

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