How do I find my Clover Merchant ID?

Log in to your [**Clover Dashboard**](https://www.clover.com/dashboard/). Your Merchant ID (mId) is typically displayed in the URL or under the 'Account & Setup' > 'Merchant Details' section.

How do I generate an Access Token?

You must create a private app in the [**Clover Developer Portal**](https://www.clover.com/developers). Once created, you can generate an API Token for your merchant in the app settings.

Clover POS + Pydantic AI FAQ

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