What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY (Your Garmin Personal API key. Leave empty if you saved it with `npx -y @durely/garmin-insights-mcp auth` (recommended): the server then reads it from ~/.config/garmin/connect-personal-api-key), GARMIN_MCP_TIMEZONE (Your time zone, e.g. Europe/Brussels. Defaults to your computer's time zone), GARMIN_API_KEY_EXPIRES (The date your key expires, e.g. 2027-10-24, so the server can warn you in time).
