Perplexity

Create projects and ensure schema compliance

When you call `create_project`, the agent knows exactly what data structure to expect for the portal ID and project name. If the API returns weird data, Pydantic fails loudly instead of letting your workflow break silently. This type safety is key for building reliable, production-grade agents that need perfect inputs.

Discovery and validation of projects

The agent can discover all available work containers by running `list_portals` or listing existing initiatives with `list_projects`. Every response is validated against Pydantic models, guaranteeing you get predictable data types. It's the perfect layer for ensuring your inputs are always correct before proceeding.

Handling tasks and user context

You can create new work items using `create_task`, knowing that every required field (portal ID, project ID, task name) must be present. Need to know who's involved? `list_project_users` returns validated user records. It handles both the creation and retrieval of key organizational data.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Projects 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": {
        "zoho-projects-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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