Implementation Reference

• src/server.ts:612-653 (handler)

  Handler function that fetches distance activity data from Fitbit API for a given date and optional period, returns JSON-formatted response or error.

  async ({ date, period }) => {
    try {
      const formattedDate = formatDate(date);
      let endpoint = "";
  
      if (period) {
        endpoint = `/user/-/activities/distance/date/${formattedDate}/${period}.json`;
      } else {
        endpoint = `/user/-/activities/distance/date/${formattedDate}/1d.json`;
      }
  
      const data = await makeApiRequest(endpoint);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify(
              {
                date: formattedDate,
                distance: data["activities-distance"] || [],
                intraday: data["activities-distance-intraday"] || {},
              },
              null,
              2
            ),
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Error: ${
              error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
            }`,

      };
    }
  }

• src/server.ts:602-611 (schema)

  Zod input schema defining optional 'date' and 'period' parameters for the getDistance tool.

  {
    date: z
      .string()
      .optional()
      .describe("Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, will use today."),
    period: z
      .string()
      .optional()
      .describe("Period for data: 1d, 7d, 30d, 1w, 1m"),
  },

• src/server.ts:600-654 (registration)

  Registration of the 'getDistance' tool using server.tool(), including schema and inline handler function.

  server.tool(
    "getDistance",
    {
      date: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If not specified, will use today."),
      period: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("Period for data: 1d, 7d, 30d, 1w, 1m"),
    },
    async ({ date, period }) => {
      try {
        const formattedDate = formatDate(date);
        let endpoint = "";
  
        if (period) {
          endpoint = `/user/-/activities/distance/date/${formattedDate}/${period}.json`;
        } else {
          endpoint = `/user/-/activities/distance/date/${formattedDate}/1d.json`;
        }
  
        const data = await makeApiRequest(endpoint);
        return {
          content: [

              text: JSON.stringify(
                {
                  date: formattedDate,
                  distance: data["activities-distance"] || [],
                  intraday: data["activities-distance-intraday"] || {},
                },
                null,
                2
              ),

            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error: ${
                error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
            },
          ],

        };
      }
    }
  );

• src/server.ts:44-64 (helper)

  Shared helper function to make authenticated HTTP requests to the Fitbit API endpoints.

  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;
    }

• src/server.ts:68-72 (helper)

  Shared helper function to format input date or default to today's date 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
  }
