# apple-health-mcp
An MCP server for Apple Health data. Reads daily health metrics and workouts exported by the [Health Auto Export](https://apps.apple.com/app/health-auto-export-json-csv/id1115567461) iOS app.
## Features
- **MCP Server**: 3 tools for querying Apple Health data from Claude Code or any MCP client
- **No API keys needed**: Reads local CSV files exported by Health Auto Export to iCloud Drive
- **Comprehensive**: Steps, HR, HRV, SpO2, sleep stages, body composition, workouts
## MCP Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `apple_health_daily` | Daily summary: steps, energy, HR, HRV, sleep stages, body comp, workouts |
| `apple_health_workouts` | Workout sessions for a date (type, duration, HR, calories, distance) |
| `apple_health_trends` | Multi-day trends for steps, HR, HRV, sleep, weight |
## Setup
### 1. Set up Health Auto Export on iPhone
This MCP server reads CSV files produced by [Health Auto Export](https://apps.apple.com/app/health-auto-export-json-csv/id1115567461), a third-party iOS app that automatically exports Apple Health data to iCloud Drive. The app runs in the background and syncs new data throughout the day.
1. Install [Health Auto Export](https://apps.apple.com/app/health-auto-export-json-csv/id1115567461) from the App Store
2. Open the app and grant it access to Apple Health data when prompted
3. Go to **Automations** and create two automations:
- **Daily Metrics**: Select the health metrics you want (steps, heart rate, sleep, etc.), set format to **CSV**, frequency to **Daily**, and destination to **iCloud Drive**
- **Workouts**: Select workout data, set format to **CSV**, frequency to **Daily**, and destination to **iCloud Drive**
4. The app will export CSV files to iCloud Drive, which syncs automatically to your Mac at:
```
~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~ifunography~HealthExport/Documents/
```
5. Verify the files are syncing by checking that the directory contains `Daily Export/` and `Workouts/` folders with dated CSV files
### 2. Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/daveremy/apple-health-mcp.git
cd apple-health-mcp
npm install
npm run build
```
### 3. Use as MCP Server
Add to your Claude Code project's `.mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-health": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/apple-health-mcp/dist/mcp.js"]
}
}
}
```
Or register with the Claude CLI:
```bash
claude mcp add apple-health --scope project -- node /path/to/apple-health-mcp/dist/mcp.js
```
### Custom Export Directory
If your Health Auto Export saves to a different location, set the environment variable:
```json
{
"env": {
"APPLE_HEALTH_EXPORT_DIR": "/path/to/your/export/directory"
}
}
```
## Data Format
The server expects the CSV file structure produced by Health Auto Export:
```
Documents/
Daily Export/
HealthMetrics-YYYY-MM-DD.csv
Workouts/
Workouts-YYYY-MM-DD.csv
```
## Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- macOS (for iCloud Drive access)
- [Health Auto Export](https://apps.apple.com/app/health-auto-export-json-csv/id1115567461) iOS app
