How to Use the MessageBird MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I set up Pydantic AI with MessageBird?

Install the core package and initialize MCPToolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. This registers the MCP Server tools like sendsms and listcontacts directly to your Agent.

Q: Can Pydantic AI recover from a failed MessageBird tool call?

Yes, if a tool like getcontact returns unexpected data, Pydantic AI passes the validation error back to the model. The model can then self-correct and attempt the call again with corrected parameters.

Run type-safe MessageBird operations in Pydantic AI with strict runtime validation for every contact and SMS.

Type-safe contact auditing in Pydantic AI

Silent data corruption can break automated marketing pipelines. When your agent calls `list_contacts` or `get_contact`, Pydantic AI validates the structure of the returned contact data at runtime. If the API returns unexpected fields or missing data, the framework raises a validation error immediately. This protects your downstream databases from corrupted phone numbers or malformed names.

Strictly validated SMS dispatch

Sending messages shouldn't involve guesswork about API payloads. This MCP Server ensures that calls to `send_sms` match strict schemas before hitting the carrier network. The model parses the response against strict type definitions when checking delivery status with `get_message`. You get guaranteed type safety from the moment the text is drafted until it lands on the device.

Safe account balance tracking

Running out of credits mid-campaign can halt critical customer communications. Your agent can check remaining credits with `get_balance` and validate the numeric type before starting an outreach run. It can also retrieve available routing paths using `list_channels` to ensure the correct sender IDs are active. This validation step keeps your messaging infrastructure predictable and fully operational.

Setup guide

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

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

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