Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific order by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order_details tool with the Order ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including totals, line items, and current production status in seconds.
How do I find my Printavo API Key?
Log in to your Printavo account, navigate to My Account, and you will find or generate your unique secret API key there.
Can I create a new customer via the AI?
Yes, use the create_customer tool. Provide the customer name and other metadata, and the agent will add the record to your Printavo CRM immediately.
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 Printavo MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
