Perplexity

Type-safe nutrition analysis

The `analyze_nutrition` tool returns data that your agent validates against Pydantic models at runtime. If the API returns unexpected values, the agent stops immediately. This prevents silent errors in your diet tracking logic. You get a guarantee that every calorie, protein, and fat value matches your expected types before it hits your application code.

Dietary search with runtime verification

Use `search_edamam_recipes` to find healthy meals while maintaining type safety. The tool returns a list of recipes that the agent validates against your model structure. It eliminates the risk of hallucinated fields. Because you are using Pydantic AI, you can define exactly what a valid recipe looks like, ensuring your agent only works with clean, structured data.

Unified MCP transport layer

The server integrates with Pydantic AI through the `MCPToolset`. It supports SSE and Streamable HTTP, giving you a stable connection for your agent's operations. This setup keeps your code clean and manageable. You define the server location once, and your agents gain access to the tools without redundant boilerplate or manual serialization.

Setup guide

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

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

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