How far in advance can Parknav predict availability?

Parknav's AI can typically predict availability up to 24 hours in advance with high confidence, and up to 7 days with moderate confidence.

Does it cover off-street garages too?

Parknav primarily focuses on on-street parking, but also integrates occupancy data from select off-street garages where sensors are available.

What data sources does Parknav use?

Parknav combines IoT sensor data, historical trends, city event data, and weather patterns using deep learning models to generate its predictions.

Parknav + Pydantic AI FAQ

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