How to Use the Mastodon MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I load the Mastodon tools in Pydantic AI?

Install pydantic-ai-slimmcp. Create an MCPToolset pointing to your HTTP endpoint. Pass it to your agent via the toolsets parameter.

Q: Can my Pydantic AI agent clear Mastodon notifications?

Yes. The agent reads the queue with getnotificationsv1 and then executes clearnotifications to empty it.

Perplexity

Validate Mastodon data at runtime

The `get_account` tool from this MCP Server returns structured JSON that your Pydantic models validate instantly. If the target instance changes its API response, your agent throws a validation error immediately. No silent failures. No hallucinated fields. This strictness applies to every read operation. When your agent calls `get_list_timeline`, the SDK checks every single post against your schema. You get exactly the data structure you defined in your Python code.

Manage credentials with this MCP Server

The `verify_credentials` tool checks your authentication state before the agent attempts any write actions. If the token is invalid, the agent halts before trying to run `update_credentials` or modify the profile. It refuses to proceed blindly. You control the exact parameters. The agent uses `register_account` to create new profiles, passing strongly typed payloads for the username, email, and agreement flags. If the payload is malformed, Pydantic catches it before the network request even fires.

Type-checked search queries

The `search` tool accepts strict parameters for queries, account IDs, and offset limits. Your agent executes the search and Pydantic AI forces the LLM to respect the required argument types. It prevents sloppy string matching. The results are split into accounts, statuses, and hashtags. Your agent parses these arrays and immediately routes specific IDs to `bookmark_status` or `favourite_status`. Everything is typed, so the agent never passes a string where an integer ID belongs.

Setup guide

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

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

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