Настройка MCP-клиента
Для Claude Desktop добавьте следующее в
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-health": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@neiltron/apple-health-mcp"],
"env": {
"HEALTH_DATA_DIR": "/path/to/your/unzipped/health-export"
}
}
}
}Перезапустите клиент после изменения его конфигурации. Другие MCP-клиенты могут
использовать ту же команду, аргументы, окружение и транспорт stdio.
Переменные окружения

Экспорт данных о здоровье
Установите и откройте Simple Health Export CSV на вашем iPhone.
Выберите Все и укажите диапазон времени для экспорта.
Перенесите архив на компьютер, где работает ваш MCP-клиент.
Распакуйте его и установите
HEALTH_DATA_DIRв получившийся каталог.
Сервер читает файлы на месте. Он не загружает экспорт и не выполняет сетевых запросов, хотя результаты запросов, возвращаемые вашему MCP-клиенту, могут быть отправлены поставщику модели, настроенному для этого клиента.
Инструменты
Инструмент | Назначение |
| Обнаружение имён таблиц, столбцов, единиц измерения и примеров строк |
| Выполнение запроса |
| Создание еженедельной, ежемесячной или пользовательской сводки по здоровью |
Начните с health_schema; имена таблиц зависят от файлов в вашем экспорте.

История и память
Первый запрос, которому нужна таблица, загружает полную CSV-историю этой таблицы. Окно дат отсутствует, поэтому запрос может охватывать всю историю экспорта.
Поскольку каждый инструмент может получить доступ ко всей настроенной истории, запускайте этот сервер только из MCP-клиента, которому вы доверяете эти данные.
Загруженные таблицы хранятся в памяти, и DuckDB получает лимит MAX_MEMORY_MB,
описанный выше. Примерно 1 ГиБ покрывает двухлетний многотабличный экспорт,
поэтому значение по умолчанию 2048 МБ оставляет запас; увеличьте MAX_MEMORY_MB
для более крупного экспорта. Сервер никогда не сбрасывает строки здоровья во
временный каталог на диске, поэтому экспорт, не помещающийся в лимит, завершается
явной ошибкой.
Другие текущие ограничения:
Поддерживается только структура CSV от Simple Health Export.
База данных DuckDB находится в памяти и пересоздаётся для каждого процесса сервера, поэтому каждый запуск перезагружает данные из CSV-файлов. Постоянный инкрементальный импорт запланирован как будущая работа, а не текущее поведение.
Перекрытие устройств может приводить к появлению похожих измерений; запросы должны учитывать
sourceNameтам, где это уместно.Сводки по здоровью обобщают записанные данные и не являются медицинскими рекомендациями.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It states the tool runs a query but does not explicitly disclose that it is read-only, whether there are side effects, limits on query complexity or result size, or what the tool returns. 'Analytical query' weakly implies a read operation, but this is under-specified for a tool that accepts arbitrary SQL.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler: it names the verb, resource, and scope immediately. It is concise, but so terse that it misses opportunities to add routing or behavioral context that would make it more genuinely helpful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool accepting arbitrary DuckDB SQL over health data, an agent needs to know how to discover available tables and fields IAW health_schema, and what output shape or limits to expect. With no output schema, no annotations, and no mention of health_schema, the description is only minimally viable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the query string and the format enum including the default JSON value. The description adds the 'one analytical query' framing but no additional parameter detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Run') and names the resource ('Apple Health data'), with the qualifier 'one analytical query.' It clearly communicates what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling tools health_report and health_schema.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied: use this tool when an analytical query needs to be executed against Apple Health data. However, there is no explicit guidance about when to choose this tool over health_report or health_schema, and no mention of alternatives or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
health_reportB
Generate structured health reports for a specific period
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| end_date | No | End date for custom reports (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| start_date | No | Start date for custom reports (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| report_type | Yes | Type of report to generate | |
| include_metrics | No | Metrics to include (default: all) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'Generate structured health reports' without disclosing whether the operation is read-only, what permissions are needed, what side effects exist, or what the output format is. This is insufficient for a tool with no output schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is front-loaded with the action and object, making it easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given there is no output schema and no annotations, the description is too minimal to provide complete context. It does not specify what a health report contains, how it is structured, or any edge-case behavior. The presence of sibling tools and moderate parameter count (4) calls for more explanatory content.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema—it merely echoes the 'specific period' concept already covered by start_date and end_date descriptions. It does not explain report_type enum semantics or include_metrics default behavior.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action ('Generate') and resource ('structured health reports') with a scope ('for a specific period'). It is clear what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like health_query or health_schema beyond the word 'report'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage context is implied by the description: it generates reports for a period. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings, nor any alternative or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
health_schemaA
Get information about available health data tables, their structure, and sample data to help write SQL queries
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It indicates a read-only, informational operation ('Get information'), which is consistent with a schema tool. However, it does not disclose any behavioral details such as data source, freshness, or access restrictions beyond the basic read-only implication.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the action ('Get information') and immediately specifies the resource and purpose. Every phrase adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, parameterless tool, the description is largely complete. It specifies what the tool returns (table structures and sample data) and why it is useful (writing SQL queries). Without an output schema, this baseline description suffices.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema is empty with zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to explain. Per the baseline for 0-parameter tools, this scores 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get information about available health data tables, their structure, and sample data.' It uses a specific verb ('get') and a specific resource, and the context of sibling tools (health_query, health_report) makes it distinct as the metadata/schema exploration tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage before writing SQL queries ('to help write SQL queries'), but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus health_query or health_report, nor does it mention any exclusions or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: health_query runs analytical queries, health_report generates reports, and health_schema provides metadata about tables. There is no overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a consistent pattern with the prefix 'health_' followed by a clear noun (query, report, schema). Naming is uniform and predictable.
With only 3 tools, the set is compact but well-scoped for the stated analytical purpose. While slightly minimal, each tool earns its place and doesn't feel overly sparse.
The tools cover the essential analytical workflow: querying data, generating reports, and understanding schema. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct data export), but for the apparent read-only analytical scope, coverage is sufficient.
