Frequently asked questions
How can I track the history of stock movements for a specific product?
You can use the list_inventory_changes tool by providing the product SKU. It will return a detailed history of inventory adjustments, helping you audit stock movements over time.
Is it possible to bulk update inventory levels across my warehouse?
Yes! The sync_inventory tool allows you to provide a URL to a CSV file containing your inventory data. The server will process the file and sync the levels for the specified warehouse ID.
What should I do if I only have a legacy numeric ID for an order or product?
Use the get_uuid tool. It is specifically designed to convert legacy numeric IDs into the opaque UUIDs required by the modern ShipHero API for entities like Orders or Products.
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 ShipHero MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
