How do I check if a player is offline?

Use the `list_players` tool. It will return a list of all players including their current status (online/offline) and last seen timestamp.

Can I see which media files are available for broadcast?

Yes. Use the `list_medias` tool to retrieve your library, including filenames, IDs, and file types. This is perfect for auditing your content before scheduling.

Is it possible to manage users via the agent?

You can list existing users and groups using the `list_users` tool to audit permissions and access, but creating or deleting users must be done in the 4YouSee Manager.

4YouSee + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating 4YouSee MCP Server with Pydantic AI.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your 4YouSee MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
