Perplexity

Type-safe market analysis with Pydantic AI.

The `get_asset_metrics` tool returns highly structured quantitative data that your Pydantic AI agent validates instantly. If the API schema changes or returns unexpected null values, the framework raises a validation error immediately. This MCP Server ensures that every price, volume, and supply metric matches your exact Python type definitions before your code acts on it. By using `get_asset_market_data`, you prevent corrupt data from polluting your trading models or downstream applications.

Structured crypto asset profiling.

The `get_asset_profile` tool pulls deep qualitative data about project founders, technology, and tokenomics. Pydantic AI parses this text-heavy response into strict schemas, making it easy to extract clean metadata. You can also use `search_assets` to locate specific tokens and instantly build validated profiles. This eliminates the risk of your agent hallucinating project details or mixing up contract addresses.

Safe ingestion of news and market structures.

The `get_crypto_news` tool fetches the latest headlines and editorial content. Your agent parses this feed into clean, typed objects to safely run sentiment analysis or keyword extraction. To map out the broader ecosystem, `list_crypto_exchanges` and `list_crypto_markets` provide structured exchange data. Pydantic AI ensures that exchange IDs and market pairs conform to your strict runtime models every time.

Setup guide

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

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

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