How to Use the Missive MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How does Pydantic AI handle the required mailbox filter for Missive?

The framework validates the filter string before calling listconversations. This ensures your agent always provides a valid mailbox type.

Validate email drafts at runtime with Pydantic AI

The `create_draft` tool outputs structured draft data that Pydantic AI validates against strict schemas. If the API returns a malformed response, the agent raises a validation error immediately instead of passing bad data to `send_draft`. This prevents silent failures in your production pipelines. You can trust that every email body, subject line, and recipient field matches your exact database constraints before delivery.

Manage contacts reliably using this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `create_contact` to add new people to your shared address book. The agent reads existing records via `list_contacts` and parses them into typed Python models. If a contact record has missing or corrupted fields, Pydantic AI catches it during deserialization. This ensures your agent never tries to write bad contact payloads back to the server.

Parse complex conversation structures with Pydantic AI

The `get_conversation` tool fetches rich thread data, including assignees, labels, and status. Your agent parses this payload to decide if a message needs immediate attention. It uses `list_conversations` with a required mailbox filter to pull threads. The framework validates the mailbox parameter before the request even leaves your server, saving API quota.

Setup guide

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

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

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