Claude Code

claude mcp add davidmosiah-apple-health-mcp -- npx -y apple-health-mcp-unofficial

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "davidmosiah-apple-health-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "apple-health-mcp-unofficial"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Apple Health MCP lets an agent do.

Apple

5 tools - e.g. verify export path before reading data; discover available record types, date coverage, sources count and stale export risk; daily wellness brief from export data

apple_health_connection_status · apple_health_data_inventory · apple_health_daily_summary · apple_health_weekly_summary · apple_health_reimport

Incremental

1 tool - e.g. true is never memoized - it advances a persistent per-category cursor, so each call must actually run.
