Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Highnote API Key?
Log in to your Highnote dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and you will be able to generate and copy your API key. Make sure to distinguish between Test and Live keys based on your environment.
What environments are supported?
The integration supports both the Test (Sandbox) and Live (Production) environments. You must specify which one you are connecting to during setup to ensure the correct API endpoints are used.
Can I freeze a card through this integration?
Yes! Use the update_card_status tool and set the status to FROZEN. This will immediately prevent any new authorizations on that card. You can set it back to ACTIVE to unfreeze it.
Is the integration secure for financial data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and financial data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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 Highnote MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
