⚡ 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.

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.

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

Sleep

• fitbit_get_sleep_day, fitbit_list_sleep

Heart & physiology (each takes a date)

• fitbit_get_heart_day, 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.
• 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                   # optional read-through cache

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/fitbitmcp.git
cd fitbitmcp
npm install
npm test
npm run build

Test with MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
