Validate Illumidesk responses with Pydantic AI

Every response from `get_me` or `list_courses` is checked against your defined models. If the data structure is wrong, the agent stops immediately. This prevents silent errors from propagating into your logic. You get clean, typed data that your agent can trust.

Manage LTI credentials in Pydantic AI

Your agent uses `list_lti_credentials` to verify your setup. The response is parsed into a strict model before your code performs any action. This keeps your LTI configuration stable. You catch malformed API responses during development rather than in production.

Query user data with Pydantic AI

Use `list_users` to fetch registration records. The agent validates each entry against your user schema to ensure data integrity. You avoid hallucinated fields because the agent enforces the schema at the tool level. Your logic remains predictable and safe.

Setup guide

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

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

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

Common questions about Illumidesk MCP in Pydantic AI

It guarantees that the data your agent receives matches your expected types. If the API changes, your agent fails predictably instead of misbehaving.

Define your schema using Pydantic models. If the server returns a field that doesn't match your model, the runtime throws a validation error.

Yes. The server is model-agnostic and works with any model supported by your agent. Just ensure your environment can reach the server endpoint.

Yes. The framework handles asynchronous requests efficiently. You can fire multiple tool calls concurrently without blocking your main loop.

The server only processes the user membership records and registration data you request. Your Pydantic models act as a secondary filter, ensuring only authorized fields are processed by your agent.
