About fitbitmcp

A local-first, unofficial MCP server that gives MCP-compatible agents access to a user's Fitbit activity, sleep, heart, and related health records. It handles OAuth locally and defaults to structured data that omits GPS and secret-bearing fields.

Key features

  1. 01Retrieve activity and sleep data
  2. 02Access heart rate and physiology records
  3. 03Read weight and nutrition logs
  4. 04Local OAuth and token storage
  5. 05Structured privacy mode by default
  6. 06Daily and weekly summaries

Use cases

  1. 01Review daily activity and sleep context
  2. 02Compare weekly health and activity trends
  3. 03Investigate intraday heart-rate samples

MCP support

Exposes Fitbit data through MCP tools, prompts, and resources, using STDIO by default or optional loopback-only Streamable HTTP. Tokens remain on the machine running the server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Environment variables to set
FITBIT_CLIENT_IDFitbit OAuth client ID. Optional when configured with fitbit-mcp-server setup.
FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRETSecretFitbit OAuth client secret. Prefer fitbit-mcp-server setup so this secret is stored in ~/.fitbit-mcp/config.json instead of MCP client config.
FITBIT_REDIRECT_URIRedirect URI configured in the Fitbit Developer Dashboard. Optional when configured with fitbit-mcp-server setup.
FITBIT_TOKEN_PATHSecretOptional local path for OAuth tokens. Defaults to ~/.fitbit-mcp/tokens.json.
FITBIT_PRIVACY_MODEOptional payload mode: summary, structured, or raw. Defaults to structured. raw means full Fitbit API payloads, not continuous 24/7 raw sensor telemetry.
FITBIT_CACHEOptional SQLite cache toggle. Set to true or sqlite to enable.
FITBIT_CACHE_PATHOptional local SQLite cache path. Defaults to ~/.fitbit-mcp/cache.sqlite.
FITBIT_NO_CACHESet to true to bypass the in-memory HTTP response cache (60s TTL for GET only). POST/PUT/DELETE and 4xx/5xx responses are never cached regardless.

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Fitbit MCP

Fitbit MCP — Fitbit MCP for AI agents
Give your AI agent your Fitbit activity, sleep, heart and HRV data — locally.
Local-first MCP server — tokens never leave your machine.

npm version npm downloads License MIT Site

GitHub stars Built for MCP Hermes one-command setup Fitbit

⚡ One-command install with Delx Wellness for Hermes: npx -y delx-wellness-hermes setup — preconfigures this connector and the other 8 in a dedicated Hermes profile.

Or wire it standalone into Claude Desktop / Cursor / ChatGPT Desktop — see the install section below.


HTTP (v2 stateless)

Default is stdio. Optional Streamable HTTP — no session id, JSON responses, loopback only:

npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial --http
# GET  http://127.0.0.1:3000/health
# POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp   (sessionless)

Env: FITBIT_MCP_HOST, FITBIT_MCP_PORT, FITBIT_MCP_TRANSPORT=http.

Local-first MCP server that connects AI agents to your Fitbit activity, sleep, heart-rate, HRV, SpO2 and weight data.

Unofficial project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Fitbit or Google. Use this only with your own Fitbit account and in line with the Fitbit Web API terms.

Platform migration risk: Fitbit is migrating to the Google Health API. OAuth, base URL, scopes and reconnection flows may change in 2026. Treat any breakage as platform drift and check the Fitbit Web API docs before reporting it as a bug.

Built by David Mosiah for people who use Claude, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw or other MCP-compatible agents to think about activity, sleep and heart context — without copy-pasting numbers from the Fitbit app.

Part of Delx Wellness, a registry of local-first wellness MCP connectors.

If this connector helps your agent workflow, please star the repo. Stars make the project easier for other AI builders to discover and help Delx keep shipping local-first wellness infrastructure.

Why this exists

Fitbit (now under Google) has years of wearable data — daily activity, sleep stages, intraday heart-rate, HRV, SpO2, breathing rate, weight, food and water logs. But its API uses OAuth 2.0 with per-scope authorization and intraday access that varies by app, and the platform is mid-migration to the Google Health API.

This package handles the OAuth dance locally, normalizes responses, and exposes Fitbit through the Model Context Protocol. Tokens never leave your machine. Privacy-mode defaults keep raw payloads opt-in.

Setup in 60 seconds

You'll need a Fitbit app (create one here) with redirect URI http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback.

npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial setup    # interactive: paste client id + secret
npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial auth     # opens browser, captures the OAuth code
npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial doctor   # verifies you're ready

Recommended scopes:

activity heartrate profile settings sleep weight nutrition

Then add this to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fitbit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "fitbit-mcp-unofficial"]
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop, run setup --client claude and the snippet is written for you.

Try it with your agent

Three things to ask first:

Use fitbit_connection_status to check setup, then run fitbit_daily_summary.
Give me a 5-line operating brief for today.
Call fitbit_weekly_summary with response_format=json. Identify my biggest
sleep/activity bottleneck and give me a next-week plan.
Use the fitbit_intraday_investigation prompt for date=today, detail_level=1min.
Don't claim anything Fitbit can't actually prove.

Data availability

This package uses the official Fitbit Web API. When this README says raw, it means the upstream Fitbit JSON for a supported endpoint — not raw device sensor streams.

DataAvailableNotes
Daily activity (steps, calories, distance, zones)✓Standard activity summaries
Activity logs✓Logged workouts
Sleep + sleep stages✓When Fitbit returns stage data
Resting heart rate + daily heart-rate zones✓All scored days
Intraday heart-rate samplesconditionalOnly when the Fitbit app/API access permits intraday
HRV (overnight)✓When supported by device/account
SpO2 (overnight)✓When supported by device/account
Breathing rate✓When supported by device/account
Weight + body composition✓When logged
Food + water logs✓When logged
Continuous device telemetry—Not exposed by Fitbit's public API

Tools

Start with these:

  • fitbit_connection_status — verify local setup before calling Fitbit
  • fitbit_data_inventory — inventory supported data domains, scopes, privacy modes and recommended first calls without calling Fitbit APIs.
  • fitbit_daily_summary — readiness, activity, sleep and heart context for today
  • fitbit_weekly_summary — scorecard, comparison vs prior week, next-week plan

Auth & diagnostics

  • fitbit_capabilities, fitbit_agent_manifest, fitbit_privacy_audit, fitbit_cache_status
  • fitbit_get_auth_url, fitbit_exchange_code, fitbit_revoke_access

Profile & devices

  • fitbit_get_profile, fitbit_list_devices

Activity

  • fitbit_get_activity_day, fitbit_list_activities, fitbit_get_activity
  • List calls accept either after or before, matching Fitbit's mutually exclusive cursor contract. Offset ISO inputs retain their written calendar date and invalid cursors fail before HTTP.

Sleep

  • fitbit_get_sleep_day, fitbit_list_sleep

Heart & physiology (each takes a date)

  • fitbit_get_heart_day, fitbit_heart_series, fitbit_get_heart_intraday
  • fitbit_get_hrv_day, fitbit_get_spo2_day, fitbit_get_breathing_rate_day

Body & nutrition (each takes a date)

  • fitbit_get_weight_day, fitbit_get_food_day, fitbit_get_water_day

Prompts

  • fitbit_daily_checkin — practical daily health and activity check-in
  • fitbit_weekly_review — review trends across activity, sleep and heart context
  • fitbit_intraday_investigation — investigate one day's intraday heart-rate samples

Resources

  • fitbit://capabilities, fitbit://agent-manifest
  • fitbit://summary/daily, fitbit://summary/weekly

Privacy & security

  • OAuth tokens are stored in ~/.fitbit-mcp/tokens.json with 0600 permissions and are never returned by tools.
  • The server never prints access or refresh tokens.
  • FITBIT_PRIVACY_MODE defaults to structured. Raw Fitbit JSON is opt-in via raw mode or per-call override.
  • Structured mode preserves complete upstream physiological records and response metadata while removing GPS and secret-bearing fields.
  • Health data is sensitive — do not paste raw payloads publicly.
  • This is not medical advice. The server exposes user-authorized data for personal AI workflows, not diagnosis or treatment.

Configuration

setup writes most of these into ~/.fitbit-mcp/config.json (0600). Manual env override is supported:

FITBIT_CLIENT_ID=…
FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRET=…
FITBIT_REDIRECT_URI=http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback

# Optional
FITBIT_SCOPES="activity heartrate profile settings sleep weight nutrition"
FITBIT_PRIVACY_MODE=structured        # summary | structured | raw
FITBIT_CACHE=sqlite                   # retained setting; authenticated payload cache/fallback disabled

Authenticated responses bypass both payload caches and offline fallback. Existing SQLite entries are preserved, not inspected or removed by cache status; errors propagate. Anonymous HTTP caching remains available.

Hermes / remote setup

npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial setup --client hermes --no-auth
npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial auth                       # run locally if browser auth is needed
npx -y fitbit-mcp-unofficial doctor --client hermes
hermes mcp test fitbit

After Hermes config changes, use /reload-mcp or hermes mcp test fitbit. Don't restart the gateway for normal data access.

If browser OAuth has to happen on a different machine than Hermes, run auth locally and copy ~/.fitbit-mcp/tokens.json to the server with chmod 600.

Requirements

  • Node.js 20+
  • A Fitbit app at https://dev.fitbit.com/apps with redirect URI http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback
  • Intraday heart-rate access requires the Fitbit app to be approved for intraday data (varies per app)

Development

git clone https://github.com/davidmosiah/fitbit-mcp.git
cd fitbit-mcp
npm install
npm test
npm run build

Test with MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
