Implementation Reference
- server.py:140-192 (handler)The main handler function for the 'get_daily_meals' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool, which registers it in the FastMCP server. The function parses the date, fetches the day's data using MyFitnessPalClient, iterates through meals and entries to build a detailed markdown summary of meals, foods, servings, calories, and macros, and returns it wrapped in text_response.
