About Runn MCP Server
Integrate your conversational AI natively with Runn, the premier real-time resource planning and forecasting platform. This integration enables your assistant to pull essential project metadata, capacity bottlenecks, people configurations, team allocations, and timesheet metrics directly into your sessions.
Pydantic AI validates every Runn tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 12 tools through the Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code — full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
What you can do
- Analyze Projects & Resources — Extract ongoing engagement details, milestones, and client associations by querying lists natively (
list_projects,list_clients). Request detailed readouts of individual operational scopes (get_project). - Audit Roles & Assignments — Find exactly who is assigned to what phase, mapping active allocations accurately (
list_assignments,list_phases). Consult team members' details (list_people,get_person) or review globally defined roles (list_roles). - Review Budgets & Actuals — Safely extract reported operational logs (
list_actuals) to compare planned work versus billed hours. Account for non-working days naturally via the holidays lists (list_holidays).
The Runn MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Pydantic AI with the Runn MCP Server
Pydantic AI provides unique advantages when paired with Runn through the Model Context Protocol.
Full type safety: every MCP tool response is validated against Pydantic models, catching data inconsistencies before they reach your application
Model-agnostic architecture — switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your Runn integration code
Structured output guarantee: Pydantic AI ensures tool results conform to defined schemas, eliminating runtime type errors
Dependency injection system cleanly separates your Runn connection logic from agent behavior for testable, maintainable code
Runn + Pydantic AI Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Pydantic AI combined with the Runn MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Type-safe data pipelines: query Runn with guaranteed response schemas, feeding validated data into downstream processing
API orchestration: chain multiple Runn tool calls with Pydantic validation at each step to ensure data integrity end-to-end
Production monitoring: build validated alert agents that query Runn and output structured, schema-compliant notifications
Testing and QA: use Pydantic AI's dependency injection to mock Runn responses and write comprehensive agent tests
