Can I send a physical check through the agent?

Yes! Use the `send_physical_check` tool. Provide the recipient's name, email, and amount. Checkbook.io will print and mail a physical check to the recipient.

How do I check if a check has been deposited?

Use the `get_check_details` tool with the unique check ID. Your agent will fetch the current status (e.g., IN_PROCESS, PAID, VOID).

Where do I find my Checkbook API Key and Secret?

Log in to your Checkbook.io account and navigate to **Settings -> Developer**. You can generate and copy your API Key and Secret from that section.

Checkbook.io + Pydantic AI FAQ

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