librelinkup-mcp

An MCP server that exposes LibreLinkUp glucose data (via pylibrelinkup) as tools for any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc).

LibreLinkUp itself has no public API keys — this works the same way the LibreLinkUp mobile app does: you sign in with the email/password of a LibreLinkUp account that has been added as a follower of one or more FreeStyle Libre users.

Tools

patient accepts either the patient_id (UUID) or the "First Last" name returned by list_patients().

Related MCP server: inbody-api-mcp

Setup

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Set your LibreLinkUp credentials as environment variables (do not hard-code them anywhere):

export LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL="you@example.com"
export LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD="your_password"
# Optional — defaults to US. One of: US, EU, EU2, DE, FR, JP, AP, AU, AE, CA, LA, RU
export LIBRELINKUP_REGION="US"

Run it directly to sanity-check:

python server.py

Connecting a client

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librelinkup": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
        "LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "LIBRELINKUP_REGION": "US"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client after saving the config. Then try asking it something like "What's my latest glucose reading?" — it will call list_patients (if needed) and get_current_glucose on your behalf.

Notes

• The underlying client authenticates once per process and is cached; if a call fails with an auth error the server re-authenticates once and retries.

• LibreLinkUp accounts are region-locked (the same account/region used in the LibreLinkUp app). If list_patients() returns an empty list or an auth error, double-check LIBRELINKUP_REGION.

• This talks to LibreLinkUp's unofficial-but-widely-used follower API via pylibrelinkup; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Abbott.

• Credentials never leave environment variables passed to the process — the server does not log or persist them.
