Frequently asked questions
How do I get DPD API credentials?
You must be a contracted DPD client. Contact your local DPD account manager to request API access and credentials.
Which regions are supported?
This server supports DPD global REST APIs. Regional differences are handled by providing the appropriate Base URL for your region.
Can I cancel a shipment?
Yes, you can cancel a shipment using its ID as long as it hasn't been picked up or processed beyond a certain stage.
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 DPD MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
