FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for recipes based on ingredients I have in my fridge?

Yes! Use the search_by_ingredient tool and provide the ingredients you have (e.g., 'chicken, broccoli'). The agent will return recipes you can make.

How do I get the step-by-step instructions for a recipe?

First, find the Recipe ID using the search tools. Then, ask the agent to get_recipe with that ID. It will retrieve the full ingredient list and step-by-step instructions.

Does the integration allow me to add recipes to a grocery list?

Currently, the toolset is focused on public discovery and searching (Read-Only). Managing personal grocery lists requires user-specific OAuth which is managed directly on the BigOven app.

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 BigOven MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
