Privacy-first, unofficial Oura MCP server for AI health, sleep, activity and heart-rate agents.

Developer ToolsTypeScriptv0.4.6
Oura MCP — Oura MCP for AI agents

⚡ 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 oura-mcp-unofficial --http
# GET  http://127.0.0.1:3000/health
# POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp   (sessionless)

Env: OURA_MCP_HOST, OURA_MCP_PORT, OURA_MCP_TRANSPORT=http.

Local-first MCP server that connects AI agents to your Oura Ring readiness, sleep, activity and HRV data.

Unofficial project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Ōura Health Oy. Oura is a trademark of its respective owner. Use this only with your own Oura account and in line with the Oura Cloud API terms.

Built by David Mosiah for people who use Claude, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw or other MCP-compatible agents to think about readiness, sleep and recovery — without copy-pasting numbers from the Oura 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

Oura Ring produces some of the most refined personal health signals — readiness scores, sleep stages, HRV, daily activity, SpO2, body temperature trends. But it lives behind an OAuth API with per-scope authorization, and the data is split across multiple endpoints (daily readiness vs. detailed sleep periods vs. heart-rate streams).

This package handles the OAuth dance locally, normalizes responses across endpoints, and exposes Oura 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 an Oura app (create one here) with redirect URI http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback.

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

Recommended scopes:

daily heartrate personal workout spo2

Then add this to your MCP client config:

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

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

Quickstart: see the data before you connect

No Oura account yet? Call oura_demo to get realistic example payloads for the readiness, sleep and daily-summary tools, so your agent learns the data contract before any OAuth setup. All values are synthetic and tagged is_demo: true.

Call oura_demo and show me what the readiness and sleep data looks like.

Real output from oura_demo (response_format=json, dates are relative to today):

{
  "ok": true,
  "is_demo": true,
  "sample": {
    "oura_daily_summary": {
      "date": "2026-05-29",
      "readiness": { "score": 78, "temperature_deviation": -0.1, "hrv_balance": 84 },
      "sleep": { "score": 82, "efficiency": 89, "duration_min": 451, "deep_min": 92, "rem_min": 108 },

      ]
    }
  },
  "notes": [
    "All sample data is synthetic; tagged with is_demo=true.",
    "Real calls return live data from the Oura Cloud v2 API after OAuth setup."
  ]
}

When you're ready to connect your own ring, call oura_quickstart for a personalized 3-step setup walkthrough, then follow Setup in 60 seconds.

Try it with your agent

Three things to ask first:

Use oura_connection_status to check setup, then run oura_daily_summary.
Give me a 5-line operating brief for today.
Call oura_weekly_summary with response_format=json. Identify my biggest
readiness/sleep bottleneck and give me a next-week plan.
Use the oura_daily_checkin prompt, focus=sleep.
Don't claim Oura can prove anything it can't.

Data availability

This package uses the official Oura Cloud API v2. When this README says raw, it means the upstream Oura JSON for a supported endpoint — not raw device sensor streams.

DataAvailableNotes
Daily readiness score + contributors✓Requires daily scope
Daily sleep score + sleep periods✓Requires daily and/or sleep scope
Sleep stages + timing✓When Oura returns scored sleep
Daily activity (steps, calories, MET)✓Requires daily scope
Heart-rate time series✓When ring/membership/scope expose it
HRV (overnight, via daily summaries)✓Surfaced through readiness contributors
SpO2 (daily averages during sleep)✓Requires spo2 scope; supported devices
Workouts + sessions + tags✓Requires workout/session/tag scopes

Tools

Start with these:

  • oura_demo — realistic synthetic readiness/sleep/activity payloads (no account needed; see Quickstart)
  • oura_quickstart — personalized 3-step setup walkthrough that adapts to your current state
  • oura_connection_status — verify local setup before calling Oura
  • oura_data_inventory — inventory supported data domains, scopes, privacy modes and recommended first calls without calling Oura APIs.
  • oura_daily_summary — readiness, sleep, activity and SpO2 brief for today
  • oura_weekly_summary — scorecard, comparison vs prior week, next-week plan

Auth & diagnostics

  • oura_capabilities, oura_agent_manifest, oura_privacy_audit, oura_cache_status
  • oura_get_auth_url, oura_exchange_code, oura_revoke_access

Profile

  • oura_get_personal_info

Daily collections (cursor-paginated with next_token, after/before filters and privacy-mode override)

  • oura_list_daily_readiness, oura_list_daily_sleep, oura_list_daily_activity, oura_list_daily_spo2
  • Offset ISO inputs keep their written calendar date when mapped to Oura's date-only start_date and end_date parameters; invalid dates fail before a network request.
  • Oura v2 has no integer page index. Resume with next_token from the previous response; if truncated is true, raise limit or set all_pages. See docs/pagination.md.

Detailed collections

  • oura_list_sleep, oura_list_workouts, oura_list_heartrate, oura_list_sessions, oura_list_tags

Prompts

  • oura_daily_checkin — practical daily health and readiness check-in
  • oura_weekly_review — review trends across activity, sleep and heart context
  • oura_heart_context_investigation — investigate heart-rate records (privacy-aware)

Resources

  • oura://capabilities, oura://agent-manifest
  • oura://personal-info
  • oura://latest/readiness — the single newest readiness record. Use this for "my latest readiness": Oura serves collections oldest-first with no sort parameter, so oura_list_daily_readiness with limit: 1 returns the oldest record in the window, not the newest.
  • oura://summary/daily, oura://summary/weekly

Privacy & security

  • OAuth tokens are stored in ~/.oura-mcp/tokens.json with 0600 permissions and are never returned by tools.
  • The server never prints access or refresh tokens.
  • OURA_PRIVACY_MODE defaults to structured. Raw Oura JSON is opt-in via raw mode or per-call override.
  • Structured mode preserves upstream physiological fields, including fields added by Oura later, while removing GPS and secret-bearing values.
  • Personal info (DOB, sex, height, weight) is only accessible when the user grants the personal scope.
  • The MCP client never sees access or refresh tokens.
  • 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 ~/.oura-mcp/config.json (0600). Manual env override is supported:

OURA_CLIENT_ID=…
OURA_CLIENT_SECRET=…
OURA_REDIRECT_URI=http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback

# Optional
OURA_SCOPES="daily heartrate personal workout spo2"
OURA_PRIVACY_MODE=structured        # summary | structured | raw
OURA_CACHE=sqlite                   # optional read-through cache
OURA_TOKEN_PATH=~/.oura-mcp/tokens.json
OURA_CACHE_PATH=~/.oura-mcp/cache.sqlite

Hermes / remote setup

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

After Hermes config changes, use /reload-mcp or hermes mcp test oura. 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 ~/.oura-mcp/tokens.json to the server with chmod 600.
