Connect Pydantic AI to Linkup MCP. Find recent articles on quantum computing breakthroughs, summarize top news about generative ai today, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
LinkupLinkup is a powerful web search API built for RAG workflows. Instantly find and retrieve relevant online results to power research, chatbots, and data enrichment.
This guide walks you through connecting Linkup to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Linkup agent that can search the web, fetch webpages, generate sourced answers, and check your credit balance through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a Linkup account through Composio's Linkup MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
Pydantic AI is a Python framework for building AI agents with strong typing and validation. It leverages Pydantic's data validation capabilities to create robust, type-safe AI applications.
Key features include:
The Linkup MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linkup account. It provides structured and secure access to web search, webpage content, response generation, and account credit information, so your agent can research topics, find relevant sources, retrieve webpage content, generate responses, and check available credits on your behalf.
Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK
The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:
pip install composio pydantic-ai python-dotenvInstall the required libraries.

composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Linkuppydantic-ai lets you create structured AI agents with tool supportpython-dotenv loads your environment variables securely from a .env fileCOMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
