Let Claude read Apple Health and Fitbit data via MCP
The poster built a setup that lets Claude read Apple Health and Fitbit data and log workouts and meals through MCP.
Done withClaude Code
- What they did
- The poster used a hosted MCP connector instead of a self-hosted server. They connected their devices once on the web, then in Claude went to Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, pasted the connector URL, authorized it, and Claude could then read Apple Health or Fitbit data to answer questions like weekly training or last month’s sleep; the URL itself was left in a comment.
- How it went
- It let Claude use the poster’s real health data and sometimes return interactive charts instead of only text. The poster says it was free and early, was built by one person, and they were explicitly looking for reports on where it breaks.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is that this was an early free service from a solo builder, and the post points readers to a comment for the connector URL and tool catalog.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Help me set up an MCP server so you can read my [Apple Health / Fitbit] data and log workouts and meals. Walk me through the setup, then pull my last [30] days of [sleep, steps, and workouts] and summarize any trends. Before you write or log anything to my health data, show me exactly what you are about to add and wait for my approval.
