How do I generate my Guidebook API Key?

Log in to Guidebook Builder, click your profile dropdown in the top right, select 'Manage your account', and then navigate to the 'API Key' section to generate your token.

Can I see the schedules for multiple guides?

Yes! You can use `list_guides` to find the IDs for all your guides, and then use `list_sessions` or `list_schedules` with the specific guide ID to see its agenda.

How many requests can I make to the Guidebook API?

The Guidebook Open API typically has a limit of 10,000 requests per day per account. You can use the `get_rate_limit` tool to check your current usage.

What format should the API Key be in?

The API Key should be the raw JWT token provided by the Guidebook Builder. The integration will automatically handle the 'JWT' prefix for authorization.

Guidebook + Pydantic AI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Guidebook 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.
