Frequently asked questions
Can I search for books by William Shakespeare?
Yes! Use the search_author tool with the name 'Shakespeare'. It will return a list of his famous plays and sonnets available on Project Gutenberg.
How do I find books about a specific subject like 'History'?
Use the search_books tool and include the subject in your query. Your agent will search the entire catalog for titles matching that theme.
Can I get the full text of a book directly?
The current server focuses on metadata and discovery. You can retrieve the official Project Gutenberg ID for any book, which can be used to find the full text on their website.
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?
