Frequently asked questions
How do I get a CarAPI key?
Sign up at carapi.app and get your API key from the dashboard. Free tier available with limited requests.
How many vehicles are in the database?
The database includes 66,000+ vehicles from 1990 to current year, covering all major manufacturers and models sold in the US market.
Can I filter vehicles by engine type?
Yes! Use get_vehicles with engine_type parameter to filter by gas, diesel, electric, hybrid and more.
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 CarAPI MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
