Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Bosch Flow MCP Tools (12)
bosch_get_activities
List e-bike rides with per-ride summary metrics.
Live read from the Bosch rider-activity API (no cache). Each ride includes
distance, elevation gain/loss, avg/max speed, cadence, measured rider power,
calories, rider-vs-motor energy share, assist-mode distance split (metres
per mode), CO2 (emissions / car-equivalent / saved), and ABS/brake events.
Heart rate is not recorded by the bike (it has no HR sensor) - pair with a
wrist device for HR.
Args:
start_date: Window start (YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, or "30d"). Default 30 days ago.
end_date: Window end. Default today.
bike_id: Optional bike UUID filter.
limit: Optional cap on rides returned (most recent first).
bosch_get_activity_detail
Get the per-point track for one ride (GPS + speed/elevation/cadence/power).
Live read. Returns a downsampled track (~500 points per ride): per-point
cumulative distance (m), speed (km/h), elevation (m), cadence, rider power
(W), and GPS lat/lon. Get the activity_id from bosch_get_activities.
Args:
activity_id: The ride UUID from bosch_get_activities.
bosch_sync
Sync Bosch eBike data to the local cache.
Fetches data from Bosch and stores it in SQLite. The source depends on your
sign-in: a standard Bosch eBike Flow account uses the mobile app API; an EU Data
Act (euda) client uses the Data Act API. Run this to populate the cache before
using other bosch_get_* tools, or to refresh after a ride or charge cycle.
Bikes are identified automatically from your Bosch Flow account.
Battery snapshots build a time series for health trend analysis.
Service records, software-update history and capacity-tester data are only
available with a euda (EU Data Act) client; with a standard sign-in they report
status "unavailable" rather than an empty result.
Args:
data_types: What to sync. Options: "all", "bikes", "batteries",
"components", "service", "software_updates", "capacity".
Comma-separated for multiple, e.g. "bikes,batteries". Default: "all".
Returns a per-type summary: status (ok/empty/unavailable/error), record count,
and a message explaining any non-ok result.
