Apple Health MCP servers: 11 ways to get your data into Claude, ChatGPT and other AI

Apple ships no MCP server and no cloud API for Health. Every Apple Health MCP server gets the data out of the iPhone in one of three ways: an exported file, an iPhone app that syncs in the background, or a server on the phone that answers while it is open. That choice decides how fresh the answers are and which AI apps can use it. Here are eleven options, telo first because it is ours.

What to know first

A hosted server is a web address with OAuth sign-in, so it works in Claude and ChatGPT on the web and on the phone, and in any MCP client. A server that runs on your computer works only in desktop apps and agents, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

An export is a snapshot: it is as old as the day you made it. An iPhone app with Apple Health access can send new records as they arrive, within the limits iOS sets on background work. Claude and ChatGPT also have native Apple Health features, documented for the US, that work only inside their own app.

1. telo

telo is a hosted Apple Health MCP server. The telo iPhone app reads Apple Health and syncs in the background, re-sending recent days so late watch data is not missed. You add telo from the Claude connector directory or the ChatGPT plugin directory, or by URL (https://telo.health/mcp) in Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, OpenClaw and other MCP clients, with OAuth sign-in.

Beyond reading records, the assistant can pin cards to the telo home screen and create a structured workout that you schedule on the Apple Watch from the app. telo reads Apple Health only: Garmin, Oura and other devices appear when their apps write to Apple Health.

Setup: install the iPhone app, allow Apple Health access, send your history, then add telo to your AI app. No export, no computer.

Price: Free covers the last 7 days. Pro is US$49 a year (R$299.90 in Brazil) for the full history.

Best for: iPhone users who want Apple Health in any AI app, on the phone too, with nothing to export or keep open.

2. freddy

freddy is a hosted MCP server for health data from many sources. Its iPhone app syncs Apple Health in the background, and it also connects Garmin, Oura, Polar, Withings, Suunto, Wahoo and Ultrahuman directly.

Setup: install the iPhone app, allow Apple Health access and add freddy to your AI app.

Price: Free for one source and 7 days of history; Pro US$49 a year; a US$249 lifetime plan on its website.

Best for: people who also want devices that do not write to Apple Health in the same place.

3. Fulcra Context

Fulcra Context is a personal data store with a hosted MCP server and OAuth sign-in. Its iPhone app uploads Apple Health.

Fulcra’s own documentation says its Claude connector and OpenAI plugin endpoints leave out the sleep, workout and time series tools; the generic endpoint has them.

Setup: install the Context app, create an account, allow Apple Health access, then add the server to your AI app.

Price: Free includes the MCP server; Pro is US$14.99 a month or US$149.99 a year.

Best for: people who want a general personal data store and use an MCP client that can reach the full endpoint.

4. Wellness Project

Wellness Project is an AI coaching app with a hosted MCP server, OAuth with dynamic client registration and 73 public tools, some of which write to the app. Its iPhone app keeps syncing Apple Health while closed.

Setup: install the app, turn on Apple Health, then add its server to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok and sign in.

Price: a free plan with 3 analysis chats a day, counted across the app and connectors; Pro from US$9.99 a month.

Best for: people who want a coaching app alongside their AI assistant.

5. Shape

Shape is an endurance training planner with a hosted MCP server. Its Apple Health integration pulls completed workouts rather than broad health metrics, and the server can change your training plan.

Setup: sign up, install the iPhone app, allow Apple Health access and add the connector.

Price: US$5 a month after a 14-day trial; a lifetime offer was US$99.99 in November 2026.

Best for: endurance athletes who plan training with AI.

6. Health Auto Export

Health Auto Export starts a server inside the iPhone app, and a separate open-source MCP server on your computer talks to it over the local network. The data is read live from the phone.

Setup: buy Premium, start the server in the app, keep the computer and iPhone on the same Wi-Fi, and add the MCP server to Claude Desktop.

Price: Premium is US$1.99 a month, US$6.99 a year or US$24.99 once; the MCP server needs Premium.

Best for: people who want live data at their desk.

7. MetricBridge with health-export-mcp

The MetricBridge iPhone app exports 194 metrics as JSON on a schedule, to iCloud Drive, a folder, the local network or a webhook. The open-source health-export-mcp server (MIT) reads those files on your computer with 22 tools.

Setup: install the app, allow Apple Health access, choose a destination, then add the server to a desktop AI app with the folder path.

Price: the app is US$24.99 once after a 7-day trial; the server is free.

Best for: people who want plain files and a free local server.

8. Health.md

Health.md exports Apple Health to Markdown for Obsidian and offers a local MCP server (AGPL-3.0) through its Mac app or a command-line tool. The command-line route talks to the iPhone app, which must stay in the foreground, over the local network or Tailscale.

Setup: install the apps, pair them and add the server to a desktop AI app.

Price: a few free exports, then paid plans on the App Store (full access was US$49.99 once in November 2026).

Best for: Obsidian users.

9. neiltron/apple-health-mcp

The most-starred open-source option, about 575 stars, MIT. It loads CSV files into DuckDB and offers 3 tools. It does not read the Health app’s own export: it needs CSVs from the Simple Health Export CSV app.

Setup: export, move the files to your computer and add the server with the folder path. Repeat for new data.

Price: free.

Best for: people who want SQL over a snapshot.

10. vpetersson/apple-health-mcp-server

A Rust server, MIT, that imports the Health app’s native export, including ECGs and routes, into DuckDB and offers 12 read-only tools. No release has been published yet, so you build it from source.

Setup: export from the Health app, copy the file, build the server, import and add it to a desktop AI app.

Price: free.

Best for: developers who want the native export and no third-party iPhone app.

11. Open Wearables

A self-hosted, multi-user platform for developers, MIT, with about 2,770 stars. It takes an Apple Health export upload or data from its iOS SDK, and includes an MCP server with 6 tools that runs against its API.

Setup: run its stack, create an API key, set up the MCP server and send it data.

Price: free software; you pay for the server.

Best for: developers who want several sources on hardware they control.

How to choose

  1. You want Apple Health in Claude or ChatGPT on the phone, with nothing to keep open: a hosted server, telo or freddy.
  2. You also use Garmin, Oura or WHOOP directly: freddy covers more sources.
  3. You want a coaching app or a training planner: Wellness Project or Shape.
  4. You need live data at your desk: Health Auto Export.
  5. You want files and code you control: MetricBridge with health-export-mcp, or vpetersson’s server for the native export.
  6. You want to host everything yourself: Open Wearables.

FAQ

Practical questions

Is there an official Apple Health MCP server?

No. Apple ships no MCP server and no cloud API for Health. Every option reads the data through an iPhone app or an exported file.

Which Apple Health MCP servers work in the Claude and ChatGPT phone apps?

Only hosted ones with OAuth sign-in, such as telo, freddy, Wellness Project and Shape. A server on your computer works only in desktop apps and agents.

Can a Mac read Apple Health directly?

No. Apple Health data lives on the iPhone, so Mac tools rely on an export, an iPhone app that sends files, or an iPhone app answering on the local network.

Sources and availability

Plans, regions and interfaces can change. Check the official sources before setting up.
