Frequently asked questions
Does this work for iFood customers or only merchants?
This MCP server is designed exclusively for iFood merchants (restaurant owners). It uses the Merchant API to manage orders, catalogs, and operations. Consumer-side features require a different API. If you're a restaurant owner using iFood for delivery, this is for you.
Can I accept and prepare orders automatically with this MCP?
Yes! AI agents can update order status through the full workflow: PENDING -> ACCEPTED -> PREPARING -> READY -> DISPATCHED -> DELIVERED. You can build automation rules to accept orders instantly, notify kitchen staff, and track preparation times.
Does this support multiple restaurant locations?
Absolutely. The API returns all stores associated with your merchant account. Each tool requires a store_id parameter, so you can manage operations independently across all your restaurant locations. AI agents can list all your stores first to get their IDs.
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 iFood MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
