Why Apple Health may not appear in Claude
The native iPhone feature and a custom MCP connector are different connections. If the native Health option is absent, check the country, plan and current Claude documentation before changing your Apple Health permissions.
An article translated into your language does not mean the native feature is available in your country. Brazil is outside the currently documented US availability.
Before connecting telo
You need an iPhone with Apple Health records, access to telo and a Claude account that allows the telo connector. telo is currently accepting waitlist registrations; these steps are for users who already received access.
Complete the iPhone setup and check the date and categories of the latest sync. Use the same telo email when approving the connector. A Claude subscription alone does not grant access to telo.
Install telo from the Claude directory
- Open the telo listing using the Install in Claude button in this guide and sign in to Claude.
- Follow the listing’s installation and connection prompts. You do not need to enter a server URL.
- Sign in with the same telo email you use on your iPhone and review the permissions before approving access.
- Start a conversation and enable the telo connector if it is not already available in that chat.
- Ask Claude to use telo to list the available metrics and date ranges. Confirm that a tool was used, rather than accepting a generic response.
A useful first question
Start with a coverage check. Once the records are confirmed, ask for a comparison of two periods. This keeps a missing connection from turning into an answer based on assumptions.
Use the telo connector to check which sleep records are available for the last 30 days. State the dates covered and any missing records. If you cannot access telo, say so.If Claude cannot read the records
If you cannot add a connector, check your plan and workspace permissions. If sign-in succeeds but no data appears, check that the iPhone sync completed under the same telo account.
Opening Claude or copying the server URL does not complete authorisation. Check the connection in telo and retry a small date range. Background sync is not a guarantee of live sensor data.
Sources and availability
Plans, regions and interfaces can change. Check the official sources before setting up.
Practical questions
Do I need a US account to use telo?
The US restriction discussed here applies to Claude’s native health integration. telo uses a separate connector. Check that your Claude account allows connecting telo from the directory and that you have received telo access; this guide does not require changing your iPhone’s region.
Can Claude answer without the connector?
Yes, it can generate a generic answer without your records. Explicitly ask it to use telo and list the available dates. Without access to the tool, the answer should not be treated as an analysis of your history.
Login worked, but sleep records are empty. What should I check?
Open Apple Health and confirm that records exist for the requested period. Check telo’s read permission, latest sync and the email used to authorise Claude. Try a period you know contains records.
How this guide was prepared
Prepared with AI assistance using the cited official documentation and the telo workflow described in the project. Screens and permissions can vary by account. This review did not include a complete authenticated test in each assistant.
