Example Use Cases

Description

This MCP server queries an external canteen API to return breakfast, lunch, and total dining counts for a given date range or relative period (e.g., today, this_week). It is intended to be run as a local MCP tool (pip/uv/uvx/uvx run or python -m) and integrates with clients like Claude for Desktop. Environment variables are used for API authentication and base URL, and the server returns simple textual statistics for consumption by agents or dashboards.
