Pull raw health logs into Claude Desktop

Stop digging through mobile apps to find your fitness history. This MCP server lets you ask your agent for specific data points like `get_heart_rate_intraday` or `get_sleep_log_by_date` instantly. You get the exact metrics you need inside your workspace. Just query your agent, and it pulls the latest records directly from your account.

Manage your daily stats through chat

Keep your health tracking current without manual entry. Use `create_activity_log` or `create_food_log` to record your progress while you work. Your agent handles the input for you. It simplifies the routine of logging water, weight, or meals so you can focus on the patterns in your data.

Monitor vital signs and trends

Track long-term health markers by accessing your history. Tools like `get_vo2_max`, `get_hrv_by_interval`, and `get_spo2_by_date` provide the raw numbers you need to assess your baseline. Compare your performance over time using interval-based queries. It gives you an objective look at your recovery and exertion levels without the fluff.
