Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that fetches daily activities from Fitbit API using the provided date (defaults to today), formats and returns the activities and summary data, or an error response.
    async ({ date }) => {
      try {
        const formattedDate = formatDate(date);
        // Use the correct endpoint format without period
        const endpoint = `/user/-/activities/date/${formattedDate}.json`;
    
        const data = await makeApiRequest(endpoint);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: JSON.stringify(
                {
                  date: formattedDate,
                  activities: data.activities || [],
                  summary: data.summary || {},
                },
                null,
                2
              ),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error: ${
                error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
            },
          ],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    }
  • Input schema defining optional 'date' parameter using Zod for validation.
    {
      date: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, will use today."),
    },
  • src/server.ts:102-147 (registration)
    Registration of the 'getActivities' tool on the MCP server, including schema and handler.
    server.tool(
      "getActivities",
      {
        date: z
          .string()
          .optional()
          .describe("Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, will use today."),
      },
      async ({ date }) => {
        try {
          const formattedDate = formatDate(date);
          // Use the correct endpoint format without period
          const endpoint = `/user/-/activities/date/${formattedDate}.json`;
    
          const data = await makeApiRequest(endpoint);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: JSON.stringify(
                  {
                    date: formattedDate,
                    activities: data.activities || [],
                    summary: data.summary || {},
                  },
                  null,
                  2
                ),
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Helper function to format or default the date to today in YYYY-MM-DD format.
    function formatDate(date?: string): string {
      if (date) return date;
      const today = new Date();
      return today.toISOString().split("T")[0]; // YYYY-MM-DD
    }
  • Helper function to make authenticated HTTP requests to the Fitbit API and handle responses/errors.
    async function makeApiRequest(endpoint: string): Promise<any> {
      try {
        const url = `${baseUrl}${endpoint}`;
        const response = await fetch(url, {
          headers: {
            Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
            Accept: "application/json",
          },
        });
    
        if (!response.ok) {
          throw new Error(
            `Fitbit API error: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`
          );
        }
    
        return await response.json();
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(`Error making request to ${endpoint}:`, error);
        throw error;
      }
