Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific coupon by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_coupon tool with the Coupon ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including discount type, value, and usage limits in seconds.
How do I find my Payhip API Key?
Log in to your Payhip account, navigate to Account > Settings > Developer, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
Does this work for physical products?
The current MCP implementation focuses on coupon management and digital license verification. Physical product orchestration may be added as Payhip expands its API capabilities.
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 Payhip MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
