Implementation Reference
- src/strava_mcp_server/server.py:292-319 (handler)The main handler function for the 'get_recent_activities' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool(), which also handles registration in the FastMCP server. Fetches activities from Strava API for the past specified days using the StravaClient.
