Validated asset operations

Your agent uses `get_asset` to fetch data, which is immediately checked against your Pydantic schemas. If the API returns unexpected fields, the agent catches the error before it propagates. This approach stops bad data from entering your pipeline. You define the structure, and the MCP server delivers the data to match your requirements exactly.

Type-safe collection management

Create and manage libraries with confidence using `create_collection` and `list_collections`. Every response is validated, ensuring your agent doesn't hallucinate collection IDs. If you need to clean up, `delete_collection` is invoked with the same strict type-checking. Your agent always knows the exact state of your organizational structure.

Metadata feedback with strict validation

Agents use `add_comment` to provide structured feedback on assets. Because every response from `list_comments` is validated, you can trust the history of your files. This is ideal for production systems that need to maintain audit trails. You get the speed of an agent with the correctness of a typed system.

Setup guide

Set up Pics.io 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({
