Perplexity

Structured search results

When your agent uses `search_artists`, `search_locations`, or `search_venues`, the results are guaranteed to fit a clean model. You don't get messy, unpredictable JSON; you get validated data. This means if the API returns unexpected fields, Pydantic AI fails loudly with an explicit validation error. No silent corruption—that’s key for reliable production systems.

Guaranteed event detail structure

You can model what `get_event_details` should look like: Date must be YYYY-MM-DD, venue name must be a string. The MCP Server ensures the output conforms to your defined Pydantic models. This makes building reliable pipelines possible. Your agent trusts that every single field it reads is exactly what you expected.

Cross-checking schedules

Need to know if an artist is playing in a certain spot? You can query both `get_artist_calendar` and `get_venue_calendar`. Pydantic AI validates that the dates and locations you pull from these different sources match your expected schema. It’s about data consistency. The framework forces alignment, so you never have to worry if one source is slightly malformed.

Setup guide

Set up Songkick 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": {
        "songkick-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

    system_prompt="You have access to Songkick tools.",
)

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