In the title solvated molecular salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4NO4-·CH4O, the pyridine N atom of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine is protonated and one carboxyl group of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid is deprotonated. The dihedral angles between the -CO2 and -COH groups and the pyridine ring are 0.65 (13) and 7.4°. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H...O, O-H...O and weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
