Can I see the agenda for my next board meeting?

Yes! Use the `get_meeting` tool with the Meeting ID. Your agent will fetch the latest details, including the agenda and scheduled time, directly from BoardEffect.

How do I list all the members of a specific committee?

Simply ask the agent to `list_members`. You can then inspect individual member profiles or use the `list_workrooms` tool to see which members are assigned to specific committee spaces.

Does the integration allow me to archive a project?

Currently, the toolset focuses on querying and monitoring (Read-Only). You can list and inspect meetings, members, and archives, but archiving active projects or deleting data must be done through the BoardEffect platform for security and compliance.

BoardEffect + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating BoardEffect 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 BoardEffect MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
