Frequently asked questions
Can I update the stock level of a product if the current count is wrong?
Yes! You can use the inventory_product_stock tool to set a specific new amount, or add_product_stock to increase the current count by a specific value.
How do I mark a household chore as completed?
Simply use the execute_chore tool with the specific Chore ID. This will record the execution time and update the next scheduled date in Grocy.
Can I see what ingredients I need to buy for my recipes?
You can use get_recipe to see the required ingredients for a specific dish, and then use get_shopping_list to see if they are already listed for purchase.
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 Grocy (Home ERP) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
