Frequently asked questions
Can I scan my mail remotely via AI?
Yes. Use request_scan with the mail item ID to open and digitize a letter. Then use get_mail_scan to view the scanned document.
How do I forward mail to another address?
Use forward_mail with the mail item ID and a forwarding address ID from your saved addresses. Check list_addresses for available destinations.
Can I send physical letters from my agent?
Absolutely. Use send_letter with the recipient name, postal address, and letter content. The letter is printed and posted via Royal Mail.
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 UK Postbox MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
