Configuration
Getting Your User ID
You need to get your Eight Sleep user ID once and add it to your configuration. This prevents the client from having to authenticate with email/password on every request. You have two options:
Option 1: Direct API Call
curl -X POST https://client-api.8slp.net/v1/auth/login
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"email":"your_email","password":"your_password"}'
2. Add the user ID to your configuration as shown below.
Option 2: Using MCP Client
1. First set up your `.env` file without the user ID:
```env
EIGHT_SLEEP_EMAIL=your_email
EIGHT_SLEEP_PASSWORD=your_password
- Run the MCP client once to get your user ID:
node build/index.js getUsers
The response will include your user ID. Save this value.
- Add the user ID to your configuration as shown below.
Environment Variables
Create a .env file:
# Eight Sleep Authentication
EIGHT_SLEEP_EMAIL=your_email
EIGHT_SLEEP_PASSWORD=your_password
EIGHT_SLEEP_USER_ID=your_user_id # Required: Add the userId from one of the methods above
EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
Claude Desktop Integration
Add to Claude Desktop's config (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"eight_sleep": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/eight-sleep-mcp/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"EIGHT_SLEEP_EMAIL": "your_email", // email and password not required once you have userid
"EIGHT_SLEEP_PASSWORD": "your_password", // email and password not required once you have userid
"EIGHT_SLEEP_USER_ID": "your_user_id",
"EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id", // optional
"EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret" // optional
}
}
}
}
Important: Adding your user ID to the configuration is required to avoid having to authenticate with email/password on every request. Make sure to get it using one of the methods above.
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
