How to Set Up and Use Health Auto Export
The Health Auto Export MCP Server bridges Apple Health data from your iPhone or iPad into AI workflows by working alongside the Health Auto Export iOS app (Premium tier required). It exposes your personal health metrics — including workouts, heart rate, sleep, nutrition, and more — as an MCP data source that Claude or other compatible clients can query and analyse. The server communicates with the iOS app over TCP on your local Wi-Fi network, so no cloud intermediary is involved and your health data stays private.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed on your computer
- Health Auto Export app (Premium subscription) installed on your iPhone or iPad
- Your iPhone/iPad and computer on the same Wi-Fi network
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- Git to clone the repository
Clone the repository and install dependencies
Clone the MCP server repository and install Node.js dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/HealthyApps/health-auto-export-mcp-server.git
cd health-auto-export-mcp-server
npm installConfigure the server environment
Copy the example environment file and set HAE_HOST to the local IP address of your iPhone or iPad running Health Auto Export.
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set:
# HAE_HOST=192.168.1.xBuild the TypeScript source
Compile the TypeScript source files to JavaScript.
npm run buildEnable the MCP server in Health Auto Export
Open the Health Auto Export app on your iPhone, navigate to its server/streaming settings, and enable the MCP or TCP server mode. Confirm your device IP address shown in the app matches the value you set in HAE_HOST.
Configure Claude Desktop
Add the server entry to your Claude Desktop configuration file, pointing to the built server.js file.
Health Auto Export Examples
Client configuration
Add this entry to your claude_desktop_config.json (found at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS). Replace the path with your actual project location.

Sample prompts for querying your Apple Health data through the MCP server.
- "Show me my average resting heart rate for the past 30 days"
- "Summarise my sleep data from last week — total sleep, deep sleep, and REM"
- "How many steps did I take each day this month? Show a trend"
- "List my workouts from the past two weeks with duration and calories burned"Troubleshooting Health Auto Export
Server cannot connect to the iOS device (connection refused or timeout)
Confirm your iPhone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network and that the HAE_HOST value in .env matches the IP address shown in the Health Auto Export app. Also ensure the app's server mode is running and not suspended in the background.
npm run build fails with TypeScript errors
Ensure you are running Node.js 18 or higher (node --version). Delete node_modules and package-lock.json, then re-run npm install before building again.
Claude returns incomplete or truncated health data
Health data sets can be large. Ask for shorter time ranges (e.g., past 7 days instead of a full year) or request aggregated metrics rather than raw data points to stay within Claude's context window.
