How to Use the Glob Pattern Tester MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I register Glob Pattern Tester in Pydantic AI?

Install the library using pip install "pydantic-ai-slimmcp". Pass the server URL to MCPToolset and include it in your agent's toolsets list.

Q: Why use Glob Pattern Tester instead of custom Python regex in Pydantic AI?

The testglob tool uses the exact minimatch algorithm used by npm and git, ensuring your agent matches paths exactly like your build tools do. It avoids the need to write complex regex patterns.

Q: Can this tool handle complex patterns like double asterisks?

Yes, the testglob tool supports recursive directory matching using the standard double asterisk pattern. This is perfect for matching deep nested files.

Validate match results with the `test_glob` tool

The `test_glob` tool checks if a specific file path matches a glob pattern. It returns a clean boolean response that integrates directly with your type-safe agent schemas. Because Pydantic AI validates every response at runtime, you can ensure your agent receives a structured boolean without any silent failures or hallucinated data. This keeps your code reliable and easy to debug.

Enforce strict CI filters in Pydantic AI

The `test_glob` tool lets your agent check whether a file is excluded before making any changes. If your agent is writing code or managing pull requests, it must respect your project's build rules. This prevents the agent from editing files that are ignored by git or your CI configuration. You get strict, deterministic guardrails for your codebase.

Connect this MCP Server with zero configuration

The `test_glob` tool is registered using the unified `MCPToolset` class pointing to the Vinkius URL. You do not need to manage complex configurations to register this MCP Server. The tool schema is automatically parsed, allowing your agent to call the matching logic with correct arguments every time. If the agent sends a bad path, the framework fails loudly.

Setup guide

Set up Glob Pattern Tester 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": {
        "glob-pattern-tester-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent Glob Pattern Tester transactions")
print(result.output)
