Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_food_log

Get detailed food log with individual food entries and full nutrition.

Returns every food entry with macros and micronutrients. Great for analyzing what was eaten and spotting nutrient gaps.

Args: start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today).

get_daily_nutrition

Get daily nutrition summary with macro totals per day.

Returns calorie, protein, carb, fat, and fiber totals for each day. Use this for quick daily overviews and trend analysis.

Args: start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to 7 days ago). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today).

get_micronutrients

Get detailed micronutrient breakdown for meal planning.

Shows vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients per day with period averages. Use this to identify nutrient gaps and plan meals.

Args: start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to 7 days ago). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today).

export_raw_csv

Export raw CSV data from Cronometer for any data type.

Useful when you need the full unprocessed export.

Args: export_type: One of 'servings', 'daily_summary', 'exercises', 'biometrics', 'notes'. start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today).

search_foods

Search Cronometer's food database by name.

Returns matching foods with their IDs and source information needed to add a serving (food_id, food_source_id, measure_id).

Args: query: Food name or keyword to search for (e.g. "eggs", "chicken breast").

get_food_details

Get detailed food information including available serving measures.

Use this after search_foods to get the measure_id needed for add_food_entry. Returns all available serving sizes with their numeric IDs and gram weights.

Args: food_source_id: Food source ID from search_foods results.

add_food_entry

Add a food entry to the Cronometer diary.

Use search_foods to find food_id and food_source_id, then get_food_details for measure_id and weight_grams.

For CRDB/custom foods, you can omit measure_id (defaults to a universal NCCDB measure that works for all food sources). When measure_id is omitted, quantity is set to weight_grams.

Args: food_id: Numeric food ID from search_foods results. food_source_id: Food source ID from search_foods results. weight_grams: Weight of the serving in grams. date: Date to log the entry as YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. "2026-03-04"). measure_id: Measure/unit ID. Pass 0 (default) to use the universal measure that works for all food sources. quantity: Number of servings. Defaults to weight_grams when measure_id is 0 (universal gram-based measure). diary_group: Meal slot — one of "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner", "Snacks" (case-insensitive, defaults to "Breakfast").

remove_food_entry

Remove a food entry from the Cronometer diary.

Args: serving_id: The serving ID returned by add_food_entry (e.g. "D80lp$").

get_macro_targets

Get current daily macro targets from Cronometer.

Returns the effective macro targets (protein, fat, carbs, calories) and the template name for a specific date or all days of the week.

Args: target_date: Date as YYYY-MM-DD to get targets for (defaults to today). Pass "all" to get the full weekly schedule.

set_macro_targets

Update daily macro targets in Cronometer.

Reads current targets first, then updates only the provided values. Omitted values remain unchanged.

Args: protein_grams: Protein target in grams. fat_grams: Fat target in grams. carbs_grams: Net carbs target in grams. calories: Calorie target in kcal. target_date: Date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today). template_name: Template name (defaults to "Custom Targets").

set_weekly_macro_schedule

Set the recurring weekly macro schedule by assigning a template to days.

This updates the DEFAULT schedule that applies to all future dates, not just a specific date override.

First finds the template by name (from existing saved templates or from a recently created per-date template), then assigns it to the specified days of the week.

Args: template_name: Name of a saved macro target template (e.g. "Retatrutide GI-Optimized", "Keto Rigorous"). days: Comma-separated day names or "all" (default). E.g. "Monday,Wednesday,Friday" or "all".

list_macro_templates

List all saved macro target templates in Cronometer.

Returns template names, IDs, and their macro values. Use this to find the template_name for set_weekly_macro_schedule.

create_macro_template

Create a new saved macro target template in Cronometer.

Optionally assigns it to all days of the week as the recurring default.

Args: template_name: Name for the new template (e.g. "Retatrutide GI-Optimized"). protein_grams: Protein target in grams. fat_grams: Fat target in grams. carbs_grams: Net carbs target in grams. calories: Calorie target in kcal. assign_to_all_days: If True, also set this as the recurring weekly schedule for all 7 days (default False).

get_fasting_history

Get fasting history from Cronometer.

Returns all fasts (or fasts within a date range) with their status, names, recurrence rules, and timestamps.

Args: start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (omit for all history). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (omit for all history).

get_fasting_stats

Get aggregate fasting statistics from Cronometer.

Returns total fasting hours, longest fast, 7-fast average, and completed fast count.

delete_fast

Delete a fast entry from Cronometer.

Use get_fasting_history first to find the fast_id.

Args: fast_id: The fast ID to delete.

cancel_active_fast

Cancel an active (in-progress) fast while preserving the recurring schedule.

Use get_fasting_history to find active fasts (is_active=true).

Args: fast_id: The fast ID of the active fast to cancel.

get_recent_biometrics

Get the most recently logged biometric entries from Cronometer.

Returns recent values for weight, blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, body fat, and other tracked biometrics.

add_biometric

Add a biometric entry to Cronometer.

Supported metric types: weight (lbs), blood_glucose (mg/dL), heart_rate (bpm), body_fat (%).

Args: metric_type: One of 'weight', 'blood_glucose', 'heart_rate', 'body_fat'. value: The value in display units (lbs, mg/dL, bpm, %). entry_date: Date as YYYY-MM-DD.

remove_biometric

Remove a biometric entry from Cronometer.

Use get_recent_biometrics to find biometric_id values.

Args: biometric_id: The biometric entry ID (e.g. "BXW0DA").

sync_cronometer

Download Cronometer data and save locally as JSON + food-log.md.

Downloads servings and daily summary data, saves JSON exports, and regenerates food-log.md.

Output directory defaults to ~/.local/share/cronometer-mcp/ but can be overridden with the CRONOMETER_DATA_DIR environment variable.

Args: start_date: Start date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to days ago). end_date: End date as YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today). days: Number of days to look back if start_date not specified (default 14). diet_label: Optional diet label for the markdown header (e.g., "Keto Rigorous").

copy_day

Copy all diary entries from one date to another.

Server-side operation that copies ALL entries (food, exercise, notes, biometrics) from source to destination. Additive — does not remove existing entries on the destination date.

Args: source_date: Date to copy FROM as YYYY-MM-DD. destination_date: Date to copy TO as YYYY-MM-DD.

set_day_complete

Mark a diary day as complete or incomplete.

Args: date: Date to mark as YYYY-MM-DD. complete: True to mark complete, False to mark incomplete.

get_repeated_items

List all recurring food entries.

Returns all repeat items configured in Cronometer, including their food name, quantity, measure, diary group, and which days of the week they repeat on.

add_repeat_item

Add a recurring food entry that auto-logs on selected days.

Quantity is in default servings for the food (e.g., for coffee where the default serving is 1 cup, quantity=12 means 12 cups).

Use search_foods to find food_id and food_source_id.

Args: food_id: Numeric food ID from search_foods results. food_source_id: Food source ID from search_foods results. quantity: Number of default servings. food_name: Display name for the food. diary_group: Meal slot — "Breakfast", "Lunch", "Dinner", or "Snacks". days_of_week: Comma-separated day numbers (0=Sun, 1=Mon, ..., 6=Sat), or "all" for every day (default), or "weekdays", or "weekends".

delete_repeat_item

Delete a recurring food entry.

Use get_repeated_items to find the repeat_item_id.

Args: repeat_item_id: The ID of the repeat item to delete.
