Fitbit MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a bridge between an LLM (like Claude) and the Fitbit API.

It allows the LLM to request and retrieve health and fitness data from a user's Fitbit account via defined tools.

Features

Fitbit API Integration: Connects securely to the Fitbit API using OAuth 2.0.
MCP Compliance: Exposes Fitbit data through tools compliant with the Model Context Protocol.
Extensible: Designed to easily add support for more Fitbit API endpoints.

Supported Endpoints

Weight:
- get_weight: Retrieves raw weight data for a specified period (1d, 7d, 30d, 3m, 6m, 1y) ending today. Requires a period parameter.
Sleep:
- get_sleep_by_date_range: Retrieves raw sleep log data for a specific date range (max 100 days). Requires startDate and endDate parameters in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Profile:
- get_profile: Retrieves the user's Fitbit profile information, including personal details such as name, age, gender, height, weight, and account information.

Setup

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/TheDigitalNinja/mcp-fitbit
cd MCP-Server

Install Dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Create Environment File:
- Create a file named .env in the project root (mcp-fitbit/).
- Add your Fitbit application credentials:
```
FITBIT_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_FITBIT_CLIENT_ID
FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRET
```
- You can obtain these by registering an application at dev.fitbit.com. Ensure the OAuth 2.0 Application Type is set to Personal and the Callback URL is http://localhost:3000/callback.
Build the Project:
```
npm run build
```
This compiles the TypeScript source files (src/) into JavaScript files (build/).

Integrating with Claude for Desktop

To use this Fitbit MCP server with Claude for Desktop:

Locate the Claude Configuration File:
- On Windows, open the file explorer and navigate to %AppData%\Claude\.
- Open the claude_desktop_config.json file in a text editor.
Add the Server Configuration:
- Find the mcpServers key in the JSON file (if it doesn't exist, you might need to add it).
- Add an entry for the Fitbit server. Replace C:\PATH\TO\PARENT\FOLDER\mcp-fitbit with the absolute path to the directory where you cloned this repository.
```
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "fitbit": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "C:\\PATH\\TO\\PARENT\\FOLDER\\mcp-fitbit\\build\\index.js"
            ]
        }
        // Add other servers here if you have them
    }
    // ... other Claude settings ...
}
```
- Important: Ensure you use double backslashes (\\) for paths on Windows in the JSON file.
Save and Restart:
- Save the claude_desktop_config.json file.
- Restart the Claude for Desktop application.
First Run & Authorization:
- The first time Claude connects to the server (e.g., when you ask it a question that requires a Fitbit tool), the server will initiate the Fitbit OAuth 2.0 authorization flow.
- A console window for the server might appear briefly.
- The server will attempt to open http://localhost:3000/auth in your default web browser.
- If the browser doesn't open automatically, navigate to that URL manually.
- Log in to your Fitbit account and grant the application permission for the requested scopes (Weight and Sleep).
- You will be redirected to http://localhost:3000/callback.
- A success message will appear in the browser tab, which can then be closed.
- The server is now authenticated and Claude can use the Fitbit tools.

Available Tools

Once the server is running and authorized, the following tools will be available to the connected LLM:

get_weight: Fetches raw weight time series data as a JSON string for a specified period ending today.
- Parameter: period (string, required) - Specifies the duration. Must be one of: "1d", "7d", "30d", "3m", "6m", "1y".
- Example Usage (Conceptual): get_weight(period="7d")
get_sleep_by_date_range: Fetches raw sleep log data as a JSON string for a specified date range (maximum 100 days).
- Parameters:
  - startDate (string, required) - Specifies the start date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
  - endDate (string, required) - Specifies the end date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
- Example Usage (Conceptual): get_sleep_by_date_range(startDate="2025-04-01", endDate="2025-04-30")
get_profile: Fetches the user's Fitbit profile information as a JSON string.
- Parameters: None required.
- Example Usage (Conceptual): get_profile()

Development

Source code is located in the src/ directory.
Run npm run build after making changes to the TypeScript files.
Restart Claude for Desktop to ensure it picks up the latest build if the server was already running via Claude.
