Type-Safe Corporate Audits with Pydantic AI

This LexisNexis MCP Server integrates `get_company_dossier` and `search_companies` directly into Pydantic AI's strict validation engine. If the API returns a company record with missing registration fields, the framework catches the discrepancy immediately. This strict validation prevents your LLM from hallucinating corporate structures. You define the exact schema you expect, and Pydantic AI enforces it before your code executes any downstream logic.

Strict Legal Case Validation

The `search_legal_cases` and `get_case_details` tools allow your Pydantic AI agents to extract court rulings with absolute type safety. The framework validates every case number, judge name, and filing date against your Python models. By using the unified `MCPToolset` class, you connect to the server over SSE or HTTP. The agent fails loudly if a legal document contains corrupted or unexpected data structures, keeping your database clean.

Validate Biographies and News Feeds

The `search_biographies` and `search_news` tools let you build structured intelligence feeds inside Pydantic AI. The framework parses news articles and executive profiles into clean, typed Python objects. You can use `list_sources` to verify the active databases before running a query. Since Pydantic AI is model-agnostic, you can swap your underlying LLM without changing how these tools validate their data.

Setup guide

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

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

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