Local-first CGM MCP for AI agents: Dexcom Developer API + FreeStyle Libre via LibreLink Up.
⚡ One-command install — pick your runtime:
- Delx Wellness for Hermes:
npx -y delx-wellness-hermes setup- Delx Wellness for OpenClaw:
npx -y delx-wellness-openclaw setup
Default is stdio. Optional Streamable HTTP — no session id, JSON responses, loopback only:
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp --http
# GET http://127.0.0.1:3000/health
# POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp (sessionless)
Env: WELLNESS_CGM_HOST, WELLNESS_CGM_PORT, WELLNESS_CGM_TRANSPORT=http.
Local MCP server that exposes CGM data (and synthetic mock data when nothing is configured) to any MCP-aware agent. Two real backends are supported: Dexcom (Developer API, sandbox + production) and FreeStyle Libre (the OTC sensor — Libre 2 / Libre 3) via LibreLink Up. Pick the backend with CGM_PROVIDER; it auto-detects Libre when only Libre credentials are set. Both feed the same ADA time-in-range / GMI / hypo / meal-response engine.
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp doctor # see env / mode
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp status
# In Claude Desktop / Cursor / etc., add:
# {
# "mcpServers": {
# "wellness-cgm": {
# "command": "npx",
# "args": ["-y", "wellness-cgm-mcp"]
# }
# }
# }
The agent now has 10 CGM tools. Without a Dexcom token, every tool returns synthetic readings tagged mock: true — perfect for prototyping.
# 1. Sign up at https://developer.dexcom.com (sandbox is free)
# 2. Create an app, register your redirect URI
export DEXCOM_ENV=sandbox
export DEXCOM_CLIENT_ID=...
export DEXCOM_CLIENT_SECRET=...
export DEXCOM_REDIRECT_URI=https://your.callback/redirect
# 3. Get the OAuth URL, open it, grant access, copy the code from the redirect
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp authorize
# 4. Swap code for tokens
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp exchange <auth_code_from_redirect>
# 5. Set DEXCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN to the access_token, restart the MCP — flips from mock to live.
No developer program, no app to build — just the same email/password you use in the LibreLinkUp follower app (the OTC Libre 2 / Libre 3 sensor works). In the LibreLink app, share your readings; in the LibreLinkUp app, accept the invite. Then:
export CGM_PROVIDER=libre # or just set the creds below and let it auto-detect
export LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL=you@example.com
export LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD=...
# Optional: region shard if you're not on EU/global, and a pinned sensor:
export LIBRELINKUP_REGION=us # eu (default) | us | de | fr | au | jp ...
# export LIBRELINKUP_PATIENT_ID=<id> # only if you follow more than one sensor
# Verify credentials + list the sensor(s) you follow (never prints the token):
npx -y wellness-cgm-mcp libre-login
Once logged in, every glucose tool (cgm_glucose_now, cgm_daily_summary, cgm_time_in_range, cgm_meal_response, cgm_hypo_events, …) reads from Libre and returns the same ADA TIR / GMI / hypo / meal-response metrics — each response carries a provider field so you always know the source. Without any credentials, everything returns synthetic mock: true data.
LibreLink Up's graph endpoint takes no start/end parameter — it always answers with its own fixed trailing window of roughly 12 hours. Asking for 24h or 72h does not widen it, so on Libre those extra hours simply do not exist.
Every windowed payload therefore reports what it actually covered:
// cgm_daily_summary({ hours: 72 }) on live Libre
{
"window_hours": 72, // what you asked for
"hours_covered": 12, // what the numbers below are ACTUALLY computed over
"observed_window": { "start": "…", "end": "…", "hours": 12 },
"window_truncated_by_provider": true,
"notes": ["LibreLink Up returns ~12h of graph data per read and ignores wider spans; requested 72h, covered 12h. …"]
}
Read hours_covered, never the requested hours / window_hours. A GMI (estimated A1C), CV or time-in-range built on 12h is not a 3-day result. For multi-day metrics use Dexcom, whose v3 API takes an explicit start/end and honours the request. Mock mode synthesises the full requested span, so it is never truncated.
The same applies to cgm_hypo_events, which takes an explicit from/to: "no hypoglycemia events" is only a claim about hours_covered. A 3-day question answered from a live Libre read is a 12-hour answer, and the payload says so in hours_covered, observed_window.hours, window_truncated_by_provider and notes. (events_per_day is safe either way — its denominator is the observed span, not the requested one — but the frame around it is not.)
window_truncated_by_provider is structural, not empiricalIt answers "can this provider cover a span this wide?" — never "did this particular read come back short?". A sensor applied two hours ago answers cgm_daily_summary({ hours: 12 }) with hours_covered: 2, window_truncated_by_provider: false and an empty notes, because nothing is broken and warning there would be a false alarm. That is deliberate:
An empty
notesmeans "no known provider ceiling was hit", not "the window was fully covered".hours_coveredis the only number that states the real span — compare it againsthours_requestedbefore reporting any window.

The table omits the shared profile/onboarding/quickstart/demo helpers (
cgm_profile_get,cgm_profile_update,cgm_onboarding,cgm_quickstart,cgm_demo) for brevity — callcgm_agent_manifestfor the full, always-current list.
Agents surface BOTH so the user picks the one that fits their context.

| 30-49 | good |
| 50-79 | moderate |
