Perplexity

Validate MCP Server parameters at runtime

The `generate_v3` tool handles strict parameters like aspect ratio and style, which Pydantic AI validates before sending the request. If your agent attempts to pass an invalid resolution, the framework catches the error immediately. That's how we avoid silent failures and keep your automated design runs from wasting API credits on malformed requests. You get predictable, high-quality text rendering inside your images.

Run type-safe image editing and upscaling

The `upscale` tool increases image resolution, returning structured data that your Pydantic AI agent can parse with complete confidence. The framework guarantees that the returned image URLs and metadata match your defined schemas exactly. When performing localized edits, the agent calls `edit_v3` to modify specific elements. Pydantic AI validates the input mask and prompt structure, ensuring the MCP Server receives clean data.

Secure transparent asset generation with strict schemas

The `generate_transparent` tool outputs PNGs with transparent backgrounds, matching a strict schema that your agent uses for downstream composition. Pydantic AI ensures the response contains the exact fields required to pass the asset to your frontend. If your workflow requires layout adjustments, the agent invokes `reframe` or `replace_background`. The framework validates the canvas dimensions and prompt inputs at every step of the pipeline.

Setup guide

Set up Ideogram (AI Image Generation) 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": {
        "ideogram-ai-image-generation-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent Ideogram (AI Image Generation) transactions")
print(result.output)
