Frequently asked questions
How do I get an NCREIF API Key?
NCREIF API access is typically provided to member organizations. You can find or request your API key through the NCREIF Member Portal or by contacting their data services team.
What is the difference between NPI and ODCE indices?
The NPI (NCREIF Property Index) tracks the performance of individual institutional properties, while the ODCE (Open End Diversified Core Equity) tracks the performance of diversified real estate funds.
Can I filter data by property type?
Yes! Use the get_property_type_data tool to retrieve performance metrics specifically for categories like Office, Industrial, Retail, or Apartment.
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 NCREIF MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
