Perplexity

Type-safe metadata validation

Pydantic AI demands strict schemas. This server provides predictable outputs that your agents can immediately validate against your models. If the archive returns unexpected data, your agent catches it instantly. No more silent failures or hallucinated fields in your research.

Dynamic query refinement

Use `faceted_search` to build robust queries. By defining your facets upfront, you ensure the returned data structure matches your Pydantic model requirements. This prevents runtime errors during data parsing. It allows you to build reliable, high-performance agents that handle metadata with absolute precision.

Efficient historical filtering

Need specific records? Use `search_by_date_range` to constrain your results by year before the agent processes them. This reduces the volume of data your models must handle. It ensures you only pull what you need, keeping your agent logic lean and fast.

Setup guide

Set up Internet Archive Search 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": {
        "internet-archive-search-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent Internet Archive Search transactions")
print(result.output)
