Type-safe spec validation for Pydantic AI

The `validate_openapi` tool acts as a strict check for your API definitions. It ensures that your specs are valid before you define your Pydantic models, preventing runtime mismatches. You stop silent corruption before it starts. If the spec doesn't match the standard, the validation engine returns a detailed list of errors, allowing you to fix definitions before they hit your agent.

Catch schema errors in Pydantic AI workflows

Run `validate_openapi` to verify that your OpenAPI or Swagger files are sound. This keeps your Pydantic AI agent operating only on confirmed, compliant API contracts. It provides a clear feedback loop. The output tells you exactly where the spec fails, so you can update your code or your API definition without hunting for typos.

Unified validation for Pydantic AI

The engine supports every major spec version from Swagger 2.0 to OpenAPI 3.2. This gives your Pydantic AI agent a single, reliable source for checking spec validity. It eliminates the need for fragmented validation tools. You get a unified interface that returns consistent results, helping you keep your agent's input data clean and predictable.

Setup guide

Set up OpenAPI Validator Engine 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": {
        "openapi-validator-engine-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

result = await agent.run("List recent OpenAPI Validator Engine transactions")
print(result.output)

Common questions about OpenAPI Validator Engine MCP in Pydantic AI

Use the `MCPToolset` with your HTTP endpoint. This gives your agent direct access to the `validate_openapi` tool for real-time spec checks.

By validating your OpenAPI specs against the official schema, the tool identifies structural deviations that would otherwise break your Pydantic models.

The engine is fully compatible with Swagger 2.0 and all OpenAPI versions. You can pass any of these formats to the tool to verify them.

The tool returns a structured JSON object. This makes it simple for your agent to read the validity status and handle specific error paths programmatically.

The server processes your spec string only in memory during the request. Your API definitions are never persisted, keeping your contract logic private and secure.
