Perplexity

Type-validated GovCon API execution

Every response from the server is checked against your Pydantic models at runtime. If the GovCon API returns malformed data, your agent stops immediately. You avoid the headache of silent failures. It ensures the data you rely on for bidding is strictly formatted.

Strict procurement details via Pydantic AI

Use `get_procurement_details` to pull specific opportunity info. Pydantic AI enforces the schema on the return object. This prevents your agent from hallucinating fields. You get exactly the data structure your code expects.

Reliable GovCon API status monitoring

Use `check_api_status` to ensure the server is ready. The tool response is validated before your agent proceeds with any heavy lifting. It keeps your agent flow predictable. If the service is down, your agent catches the validation error and acts accordingly.

Setup guide

Set up GovCon API 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": {
        "govcon-api-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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

Yes. The server is compatible with both Streamable HTTP and SSE. You define the transport type when you initialize the toolset.

Your agent will throw a validation error. This is a feature, not a bug; it prevents your logic from running on invalid or corrupted data.

The framework is model-agnostic. You can use any model that supports Pydantic AI to execute these tools.

The server uses encrypted transport for all data transit. We don't touch your procurement records, and your local environment is the only place data is ever deserialized.
