How to Use the ThePDFMaker MCP in Pydantic AI

Q: How do I ensure ThePDFMaker is ready for my Pydantic AI deployment?

Always start by checking connectivity with getapistatus. This verifies the MCP Server's operational status, which prevents your agent from attempting to process data against a downed endpoint.

Q: Can I list all templates for ThePDFMaker and Pydantic AI?

Yes. Use listpdftemplates. This allows the Pydantic AI framework to validate that the template IDs passed into the system are valid before any generation is attempted.

Q: What data does ThePDFMaker touch regarding user accounts in Pydantic AI?

The server accesses general account information via getuserprofile. This provides core context needed for your agent to validate the identity of the requester before generating documents.

Q: If I need to check past generations using ThePDFMaker and Pydantic AI?

Use listrecentpdfs to audit previous runs. This gives you a clear, auditable record that your agent can cross-reference against its expected outputs.

Q: How do I get the document link status with ThePDFMaker and Pydantic AI?

After calling generatepdf, use getpdfstatus. This tool polls the MCP Server until it provides the final, usable download link for your agent to process.

Generate validated documents with Pydantic AI.

When your agent needs to create an invoice, it calls `generate_pdf`. Since you're using Pydantic AI, you know exactly what data the tool expects. The MCP Server handles the template rendering and returns a job ID that requires polling via `get_pdf_status` for the final link. This process is built around correctness. If the data provided to `generate_pdf` doesn't match the expected schema, your Pydantic AI framework fails loud and clear—no silent corruption.

Manage assets and templates via MCP Server.

Need to update a corporate logo or retire an old report format? Use `list_asset_files` first. Then, use `delete_pdf_template` when the template is no longer needed. The list of available formats comes from `list_pdf_templates`. These tools ensure your agent only works with validated resources. Always check `get_api_status` before running a job; it verifies connectivity to the MCP Server, which is key for type-safe operations.

Audit and monitor using Pydantic AI.

To maintain data integrity, your agent should check its status frequently. Use `get_credit_balance` before running large batches to prevent unexpected failures. You can also use `list_recent_pdfs` and `list_webhooks` to audit previous actions or set up automated notifications when a document is ready. Use `get_user_profile` early in the workflow; this pulls core account info that your agent must validate against its Pydantic models before proceeding.

Setup guide

Set up ThePDFMaker 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": {
        "thepdfmaker-mcp": {
            "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
        }
    }
})

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

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