}
```
### 5. Restart Claude Desktop
Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.
## 𩸠Usage Examples
Once integrated with Claude Desktop, you can ask:
### Basic Glucose Queries
- *"What's my current glucose level?"*
- *"Show me my glucose readings from the past 6 hours"*
- *"What's my average glucose today?"*
### Analytics & Insights
- *"Calculate my time in range for this week"*
- *"Analyze my glucose patterns and trends"*
- *"Do I have dawn phenomenon?"*
- *"How stable are my overnight glucose levels?"*
### Health Correlations
When combined with other health MCP servers:
- *"How does my sleep quality affect my glucose control?"*
- *"Compare my glucose variability with my stress levels"*
- *"Show the impact of my supplements on glucose stability"*

## š Security & Privacy
### Data Privacy
- **Local processing only** - No data sent to external servers
- **Your data stays on your machine** - Complete privacy control
- **No analytics or tracking** - Zero telemetry
### Credential Security
- **Local storage** - Credentials stored in `~/.librelink-mcp/config.json`
- **File permissions** - Automatically set to user-only access (600)
- **No cloud storage** - Never uploaded or shared
### Security Best Practices
```bash
# Verify file permissions
ls -la ~/.librelink-mcp/config.json
# Should show: -rw------- (user read/write only)
# Optional: Encrypt config directory
# (Implementation details in documentation)
```

## š Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**"No connections found"**
- Verify you're using LibreLink (not LibreLinkUp) credentials
- Check that data sharing is enabled in your LibreLink app
- Ensure your sensor is active and connected
**"Authentication failed"**
- Double-check email and password
- Verify correct region (US/EU)
- Try logging into LibreLink app to confirm credentials
**"Connection timeout"**
- Check internet connection
- Verify LibreLink service status
- Try again after a few minutes
### Getting Help

Scored across 8 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes: current glucose, history, stats, trends, sensor info, credentials, ranges, and connection validation. However, get_glucose_stats and get_glucose_trends both perform analysis on glucose data and could be confused by an agent, though their descriptions clarify the difference.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase and underscores: get_* for data retrieval, configure_* for setup, and validate_connection for testing. No mixed conventions or inconsistent verb styles.
The 8 tools are well-scoped for a glucose monitoring server. Each tool addresses a distinct need: current reading, history, statistics, trends, sensor information, credential setup, range configuration, and connection validation. No redundant or unnecessary tools.
The tool set covers core glucose monitoring workflows: reading current values, retrieving history, calculating stats, analyzing trends, and checking sensor status. Configuration and connection validation are also included. A minor gap is the lack of a tool to filter history by specific time ranges, but the default 24-hour window is likely sufficient for most use cases.
