MCP tools
list_metrics()
Returns every distinct record type and its count.
list_workout_types()
Returns every distinct workout activity type and its count.
summary(metric, period)
Aggregates a metric by day, week, or month. Returns count, avg, min, max, and sum.
summary("StepCount", "week")
summary("HeartRate", "month")query(sql)
Run arbitrary read-only SQL against the database. Only SELECT statements are allowed.
Schema:
records(type, source_name, unit, value, start_date, end_date)
workouts(activity_type, source_name, duration, duration_unit,
total_energy_kcal, total_distance, distance_unit, start_date, end_date)Examples:
-- Daily step totals for the last 30 days
SELECT substr(start_date, 1, 10) AS day, sum(CAST(value AS REAL)) AS steps
FROM records WHERE type = 'StepCount'
GROUP BY day ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 30;
-- Longest runs
SELECT start_date, duration, total_distance, distance_unit
FROM workouts WHERE activity_type = 'Running'
ORDER BY total_distance DESC LIMIT 10;Environment variable
Instead of --input, you can set:
export HEALTH_EXPORT_PATH=~/Downloads/export.zipDevelopment
