Connect Pydantic AI to Short menu MCP. Shorten this blog post url with a custom slug, show me all available custom domains, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Short menu is a URL shortening application that lets you create and manage short links efficiently. Perfect for tracking, organizing, and sharing links with ease.
This guide walks you through connecting Short menu to Pydantic AI using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Short menu agent that can create short links, delete links, and list your custom domains through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Pydantic AI agent real control over a Short menu account through Composio's Short menu 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 Short menu MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Short menu account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management, so your agent can create short URLs, manage custom domains, and streamline your link shortening workflow 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.
What's happening:
composio connects your agent to external SaaS tools like Short menupydantic-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
