Frequently asked questions
Can I see the status of a specific legal matter?
Yes! Use the get_matter_legal_details tool with the matter ID. The agent will return the current status (Open, Closed, etc.), the client name, and the responsible attorney.
How do I check if a bill has been paid?
Use the list_clio_bills tool. Your agent will fetch the list of generated bills, which includes their amounts and payment statuses, directly from Clio.
Where do I find my Clio Access Token?
Clio uses OAuth 2.0. You can generate an access token through the Clio developer portal or by creating a private application in your Clio account settings.
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 Clio MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
