Readme
oura-ring-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol server for the Oura Ring API v2. Point Claude (or any MCP client) at your Oura data and ask about your sleep, readiness, activity, heart rate, workouts, and more.
Built with somamcp (telemetry + introspection),
functype (typed error handling), and zod.
Design
Rather than one tool per endpoint, the server exposes a single consolidated oura_data tool
with a collection parameter. This keeps the tool schema small (low token cost) while covering
every Oura usercollection endpoint. The tool validates that the parameters you pass are legal
for the chosen collection and returns actionable messages when they are not.
Requirements
Node.js 24+ (pinned in
.nvmrc)An Oura OAuth2 application — register one at cloud.ouraring.com/oauth/applications to get a client ID and secret. Set the redirect URI to
http://localhost:8080/callbackand enable the read scopes you want. The default requests the full set —email personal daily heartrate tag workout session spo2 ring_configuration stress heart_health— so every collection works (heart_healthin particular gatesvO2_maxanddaily_cardiovascular_age).Oura stopped issuing new personal access tokens in December 2025, so OAuth2 is the path for new setups. A previously-issued PAT still works — see Authentication.
Authentication
The server authenticates to Oura with an OAuth2 access token that it refreshes automatically. You
authorize once with the built-in login command:
# with OURA_CLIENT_ID and OURA_CLIENT_SECRET set in the environment
npx -y oura-ring-mcp-server loginThis opens your browser for consent, captures the redirect on http://localhost:8080/callback, and
writes the tokens to ~/.config/oura-ring-mcp/tokens.json (override with OURA_TOKEN_STORE). Oura
refresh tokens are single-use, so the server owns and rotates them in that store from then on — you
never put a refresh token in your environment. The MCP server reads the store on startup; re-run
login only if the refresh token is ever revoked.
Legacy PAT: if you still have a valid personal access token, set OURA_API_KEY instead and skip
the OAuth setup. When both are configured, OAuth takes precedence.
Usage
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"oura": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "oura-ring-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"OURA_CLIENT_ID": "your-oauth-client-id",
"OURA_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-oauth-client-secret"
}
}
}
}That runs the server over stdio, which is what most MCP clients expect. Run login once first (see
Authentication) so the token store exists.
Configuration
| Env var | Required | Default | Description |
| ------------------------ | -------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| OURA_CLIENT_ID | for OAuth | — | Oura OAuth2 client ID. |
| OURA_CLIENT_SECRET | for OAuth | — | Oura OAuth2 client secret. |
| OURA_API_KEY | for legacy PAT | — | Legacy personal access token (Bearer). Alternative to the OAuth pair. |
| OURA_REDIRECT_URI | no | http://localhost:8080/callback | Redirect URI for login; must match the Oura app registration. |
| OURA_SCOPES | no | full read set (see Requirements) | Space-separated scopes requested during login. |
| OURA_TOKEN_STORE | no | ~/.config/oura-ring-mcp/tokens.json | Path to the OAuth token store. |
| OURA_SANDBOX | no | false | Use Oura's /sandbox/ demo data instead of your real data. |
| TRANSPORT_TYPE | no | stdio | stdio or httpStream. |
| PORT | no | 3000 | Port for httpStream transport. |
| HOST | no | 0.0.0.0 | Host for httpStream transport. |
| OURA_TELEMETRY_FILE | no | — | Write NDJSON telemetry events to this file path (safe under any transport). |
| OURA_TELEMETRY_CONSOLE | no | true | Console telemetry, httpStream only (never enabled under stdio). |
HTTP transport
For a long-running / networked deployment:
OURA_CLIENT_ID=... OURA_CLIENT_SECRET=... TRANSPORT_TYPE=httpStream PORT=3000 npx -y oura-ring-mcp-serverThe MCP endpoint is served at /mcp; somamcp also exposes a public GET /health probe.
The oura_data tool
| Parameter | Applies to | Notes |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| collection | all | Which data collection to fetch (see below). |
| start_date / end_date | daily collections | YYYY-MM-DD. Omitted → last 7 days. |
| start_datetime / end_datetime | heartrate, ring_battery_level | ISO-8601. Omitted → last 24 hours. |
| latest | heartrate, ring_battery_level | Return only the most recent sample. |
| document_id | collections with a detail route | Fetch a single record by id. |
| next_token | list collections | Pagination cursor from a previous response. |
| fields | list collections | Comma-separated sparse fieldset. |
Collections
Daily (start_date/end_date): daily_activity, daily_sleep, daily_readiness,
daily_spo2, daily_stress, daily_resilience, daily_cardiovascular_age, vO2_max,
sleep, sleep_time, session, workout, tag, enhanced_tag, rest_mode_period
Time-series (start_datetime/end_datetime): heartrate, ring_battery_level
List / singleton: ring_configuration, personal_info
Example prompts
- "What was my average readiness score last week?"
- "Show my sleep stages for the night of 2026-06-20."
- "Get my most recent heart rate reading."
- "How many workouts did I log this month and how long were they?"
Development
pnpm install
pnpm validate # format + lint + typecheck + test + build
pnpm dev # watch build
pnpm inspect # run against the MCP InspectorTry it without a ring by setting OURA_SANDBOX=true to hit Oura's demo dataset.
