MCP tools · 35 exposed · ~3,680 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
mhlb_apply_coupon ~89

Apply a coupon code to the account. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesCoupon code.
confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.

mhlb_apply_gift_card ~95

confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.

mhlb_checkout ~383

PAY for the lunches in the cart. This charges a real payment method on the My Hot Lunchbox account. Run mhlb_init_checkout first, read the total it returns, and pass that figure as expectedTotal. Only a card ALREADY SAVED on the account can be used: paying with a new card needs a Stripe token minted by Stripe.js in a browser, which no server-side client can produce. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.
couponCodestringCoupon code to apply to this checkout.
expectedTotalnumberyesThe amount you expect to be charged, as mhlb_init_checkout reported it. The server prices the charge from orderIds, so no client-side check can bind the amount — this is recorded in the dry run and i…
giftCardCodestringGift card code to apply to this checkout.
idempotencyKeystringReuse the SAME key when retrying a checkout that may already have gone through — that is what stops a retry becoming a second charge. Generated automatically when omitted.

schoolDonationsSchool donation selections, as returned by mhlb_init_checkout.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_create_order ~148

Place a lunch order into the cart. Call mhlb_get_order_form first and send that model back with quantities set. This adds to the cart — it does not pay; use mhlb_checkout for that. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

NameTypeReqDescription
confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.
orderobjectyesThe order model, as returned by mhlb_get_order_form / mhlb_get_order, with quantities and options edited.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_create_student ~130

Add a student to the account. Call mhlb_new_student_form first and send that model back with the fields filled in. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

NameTypeReqDescription
confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.
studentobjectyesThe student model, as returned by mhlb_get_student_form / mhlb_new_student_form, with your edits applied.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_delete_order ~219

Cancel a lunch order. If it was already paid for, the refund behaviour is whatever My Hot Lunchbox applies — this tool does not control it. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

NameTypeReqDescription
confirmbooleanMust be true to proceed. Without this, the tool returns a preview.
eventDatestringyesThe lunch date of that order (YYYY-MM-DD).
isRepeatedbooleantrue acts on the whole recurring series, not just this date. Defaults to false.
isSubscribedbooleanWhether the order is a subscription. Defaults to false for mhlb_delete_order and true for mhlb_unsubscribe_order, matching what each is for.
orderIdintegeryesOrder id, from mhlb_get_calendar or mhlb_get_cart.
studentIdintegeryesStudent the order belongs to.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_delete_student ~109

Remove a student from the account. Irreversible from this API — their order history goes with them. NOTE: this write is UNVERIFIED — its request shape was derived from the web app’s compiled API client but has not been exercised against a live account. Inspect the dry-run preview before confirming.

NameTypeReqDescription

startDatestringyesFirst day to include (YYYY-MM-DD).

mhlb_healthcheck ~114

Resolves the credential the way real tools do, then makes one authenticated request to ordernow.myhotlunchbox.com. Reports which source supplied the credential, whether ordernow.myhotlunchbox.com accepted it, the round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'no credential' from 'credential rejected' from 'a ordernow.myhotlunchbox.com-side problem'. Read-only; never returns the credential itself. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_init_checkout ~212

Start checkout for the cart: returns the order summary, totals, taxes, applied credits and the available payment methods. This does NOT charge anything — it is the read step before mhlb_checkout.

NameTypeReqDescription
endDatestringyesLast day to include (YYYY-MM-DD).

inlinebooleanReturn the PDF as base64 in the result instead of writing it to a file. Default false.
startDatestringyesFirst day to include (YYYY-MM-DD).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_print_orders ~182

Generate the printable order-details PDF for a single lunch date. Note this is one date, not a range, and studentIds is required — the endpoint fails if it is empty, or if no order matches the date and status you ask for. Get both from mhlb_get_calendar.

NameTypeReqDescription
datestringyesThe lunch date to report on (YYYY-MM-DD).
filenamestringOutput filename. Defaults to "Orders Details <date>.pdf".

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mhlb_set_subscription_enabled ~112

Turn recurring lunch subscriptions on or off for the account. Turning it ON means future lunches are ordered and charged automatically.
