FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I find the per diem rates for a specific city like Los Angeles?

You can use the get_rates_by_city tool. Just provide the city name (Los Angeles), the state abbreviation (CA), and the fiscal year you are interested in.

Is it possible to get a breakdown of meal costs for the day?

Yes! Use the get_mie_breakdown tool for a specific fiscal year. It returns the breakdown for Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE), showing allocations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and incidentals.

Can I look up rates using just a ZIP code?

Absolutely. The get_rates_by_zip tool allows you to input a 5-digit ZIP code and a fiscal year to retrieve the applicable per diem rates for that specific location.

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 GSA Per Diem Rates MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
