Senechal MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a companion to the Senechal project, providing health data from the Senechal API to LLM applications.

Overview

This server provides a standardized interface for LLMs to access health data from the Senechal API. It exposes:

• Resources: Health data that can be loaded into an LLM's context
• Tools: Functions that can be called by LLMs to fetch health data
• Prompts: Reusable templates for analyzing health data

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

Copy the .env.example file to .env and add your Senechal API key and URL:

# Required: Senechal API Key
SENECHAL_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Required: API base URL
SENECHAL_API_BASE_URL=https://your-api-host/api/senechal

Both the API key and API URL are required for the server to function.

Windows Configuration

When running on Windows, be sure to:

1. Use backslashes or properly escaped paths in the configuration
2. Use the full path to your Python virtual environment in the claude-desktop-config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "senechal-health": {
            "command": "C:\\path\\to\\venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
            "args": [
                "C:\\path\\to\\senechal_mcp_server.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "SENECHAL_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
            }
        }
    }
}

Note that environment variables in the MCP configuration do not use the .env file, so you'll need to set them explicitly in the config.

Usage

Testing the Client/Server Setup

The simplest way to test the setup is to run the example client:

# In one terminal, start the server
python senechal_mcp_server.py

# In another terminal, run the example client
python example_client.py

Start the Server

python senechal_mcp_server.py

Development Mode with MCP Inspector

mcp dev senechal_mcp_server.py

Install in Claude Desktop

The server includes a configuration file for Claude Desktop:

mcp install senechal_mcp_server.py

You can then select "Senechal Health" from the tools menu in Claude Desktop.

Example Interactions

Loading Health Summary Data

# In an LLM application, load a week of health summaries
content, mime_type = await session.read_resource("senechal://health/summary/day?span=7")

Calling Health Data Tools

# In an LLM conversation
result = await session.call_tool(
    "fetch_health_trends", 
    arguments={
        "days": 30, 
        "interval": "day"
    }
)

# More complex example combining tools and resources
profile = await session.call_tool("fetch_health_profile")
trends = await session.call_tool(
    "fetch_health_trends", 
    arguments={"days": 90, "interval": "week"}
)

Using Health Analysis Prompts

# Get a prompt for analyzing health data
prompt_result = await session.get_prompt("analyze_health_summary")
for message in prompt_result.messages:
    print(f"[{message.role}]: {message.content.text}")

See the example_client.py file for a complete working example.

The Senechal MCP server communicates with the following Senechal API endpoints:

• /health/summary/{period} - Get health summaries
• /health/profile - Get health profile
• /health/current - Get current measurements
• /health/trends - Get health trends
• /health/stats - Get health stats
