Perplexity

Strict type-safe incident reporting

Don't risk malformed payloads during a system crash. Pydantic AI validates every `create_incident` call against your schema, ensuring zero silent failures when your infrastructure is burning. Your agent gets immediate feedback if a request misses a required field. It’s the difference between a clean status update and a broken API call that keeps your team in the dark.

Automated component state management

Run `update_component` to reflect real-time health across your services. By forcing runtime validation, you ensure that component status strings match exactly what your dashboard expects. This MCP Server provides the structure your agent needs to maintain internal consistency. No hallucinated status codes, just direct updates that trigger when your monitoring hits a threshold.

Bulk metric ingestion for observability

Feed your dashboard live data using `add_metric_datapoints_bulk`. Because Pydantic AI enforces type safety, your agent pushes only valid numeric series to Instatus (Status Pages API). This keeps your graphs accurate and prevents invalid data points from polluting your uptime metrics. You get reliable, typed data flow from your monitoring loop straight to your status page.

Setup guide

Set up Instatus (Status Pages 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": {
        "instatus-status-pages-api-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent Instatus (Status Pages API) transactions")
print(result.output)
