How to Use the TomTom Alternative MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How does TomTom Alternative work with Pydantic AI for route planning?

The agent calls calculateroute and the output is immediately checked against your defined Python models. If the server returns a path that doesn't match the expected sequence of coordinates, the agent throws an error. This prevents bad data from breaking production code.

Q: Can Pydantic AI use TomTom Alternative for fuzzy address searching?

Yes, when running fuzzysearch, the resulting list of potential POIs and addresses is validated against a model. This means even if the search returns many results, you're confident that each result field (like 'address line 1') is present and correctly typed.

Q: What kind of map tiles can I get with TomTom Alternative using Pydantic AI?

The getmaptile tool provides the URL. When integrated with Pydantic, you'll validate that the returned data includes all necessary parameters—the tile coordinates and zoom level—before attempting to fetch the image link.

Q: How do I use TomTom Alternative with Pydantic AI for real-time traffic?

Use gettrafficincidents and let Pydantic validate the schema. This forces the agent to only accept incident reports that include necessary data points like a status code and location bounds, guaranteeing reliable input.

Build reliable, correct agents with Pydantic AI. Use TomTom Alternative for validated location services.

Perplexity

Get coordinates from any address using `geocode`.

The `geocode` tool converts an address string into structured geographic coordinates (lat/lng). Because you're using Pydantic AI, the agent validates this response immediately. If the API returns unexpected data, your agent fails loudly with a clear validation error. This guarantees that the coordinate output you receive is exactly what you expect—a predictable data structure ready for use in downstream logic.

Calculate routes and avoid specific areas.

The `calculate_advanced_route` tool handles complex routing needs, like incorporating waypoints or avoiding vignettes. The agent receives the route details as a strictly typed JSON object. If any part of that structure is malformed, Pydantic AI catches it. This means you don't have to write extra checks for every API response; correctness is enforced automatically at runtime.

Get live traffic and incident reports.

Use `get_traffic_incidents` to pull real-time data on road conditions. The tool returns a list of structured incidents (location, type, severity). Pydantic AI ensures that every single element in the returned array conforms to your expected schema. No more silent corruption or hallucinated fields—you know exactly what kind of traffic report you're working with.

Setup guide

Set up TomTom Alternative 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": {
        "tomtom-alternative-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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