Can I check inventory levels across multiple warehouses?

Yes! Use the `list_ape_inventory` tool. The agent will return stock levels across all your configured distribution centers and warehouses.

How do I see details for a specific customer order?

Use the `get_ape_order_details` tool with the unique order ID. Your agent will fetch the full record, including line items and fulfillment status.

Where do I find my Business ID and API Secret?

Login to your ChannelApe account and navigate to your business settings. Your Business ID is in the URL or settings page, and the API Secret can be generated in the API section.

ChannelApe + Pydantic AI FAQ

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