Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Withings MCP Tools (8)
withings_sync
Sync Withings health data to the local cache.
Fetches data from the Withings API and stores it in SQLite for fast
offline queries. Run this before using other withings_get_* tools.
Syncs incrementally: only fetches data newer than the last sync.
First sync fetches the specified number of days of history.
Args:
data_types: What to sync. Options: "all", "body", "sleep",
"activity", "workouts". Comma-separated for multiple,
e.g. "body,sleep". Default: "all".
days: Days of history for first sync (default: 30). Ignored
on subsequent syncs (uses last sync timestamp).
Returns summary of records synced per data type.
Not for querying data - use withings_get_body, withings_get_sleep,
withings_get_activity, or withings_get_workouts instead.
withings_get_activity
Get daily activity summaries (steps, distance, calories, active time).
Returns one entry per day from the local cache by default.
Run withings_sync first to populate the cache.
Args:
start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "30d".
Default: last 30 days.
end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today.
live: If true, fetch from Withings API instead of cache.
Returns daily activity data sorted by date, with steps, distance
in km, calories, and active minutes by intensity level.
Not for workout sessions -- use withings_get_workouts instead.
withings_get_workouts
Get workout sessions (type, duration, HR, calories).
Returns individual workout sessions from the local cache by default.
Run withings_sync first to populate the cache.
Args:
start_date: Start date as "YYYY-MM-DD", "YYYY-MM", or "90d".
Default: last 90 days.
end_date: End date as "YYYY-MM-DD". Default: today.
category: Filter by workout type, e.g. "cycling", "walk", "run".
Case-insensitive partial match.
live: If true, fetch from Withings API instead of cache.
Returns workout sessions sorted by date with type, duration,
calories, distance, and heart rate data.
Not for daily step/activity totals -- use withings_get_activity.
