How to Use the UKG Ready MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: Can I use the Pydantic AI framework to list timesheets for employees from UKG Ready?

Yes. You expose the timesheets toolset and pass it as a source of data. The resulting time records are then validated by your schema, guaranteeing structured output every single time.

Q: What kind of job applicants can I list using UKG Ready with Pydantic AI?

The applicants tool pulls candidate profiles from UKG Ready. The agent guarantees that the resulting data fields—like name and application date—adhere strictly to your model's type definitions.

Perplexity

Reliably Fetch Employee Data from UKG Ready

The `employees` tool pulls staff information directly into your agent flow. Because this is an MCP Server, the response is automatically validated by Pydantic models against a predefined schema. If the API returns unexpected fields—say, a misspelled column name—the agent fails with a clear validation error. You never risk silent corruption of data used in production.

Validate Payroll History from UKG Ready

Use the `payroll` tool to get compensation records. The primary benefit here is correctness: every field, like pay rate or payment date, must match your Pydantic schema. This type-safe approach means if the underlying UKG Ready data changes its format slightly, the agent won't break silently; it fails loudly, saving you time and headaches.

Gather Applicant Lists from UKG Ready

The `applicants` tool retrieves job candidate records. Pydantic validation ensures that when your agent processes this list—whether for reporting or follow-up—the data structure is guaranteed correct. This focus on correctness makes it ideal for agents where the integrity of the input, like candidate contact info, is non-negotiable.

Setup guide

Set up UKG Ready 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": {
        "ukg-ready-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

    system_prompt="You have access to UKG Ready tools.",
)

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