FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I place a trade for a specific dollar amount instead of shares?

Yes, you can use the notional parameter in the create_order tool to specify the dollar amount you wish to trade for fractional-enabled assets.

02

How do I see only my open orders for a specific stock?

Use the get_orders tool and set the status to 'open' and provide the ticker in the symbols parameter.

03

Can I cancel all my pending orders at once if the market moves against me?

Absolutely. Use the delete_all_orders tool to instantly cancel all open orders in your account.

04

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.

05

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.

06

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Alpaca Trading MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
