Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@nightscout-mcp What's my current glucose?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Nightscout MCP Server
Access your CGM data from Nightscout in AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc.
Quick Start
uvx --from git+https://github.com/vgmakeev/nightscout-mcp nightscout-mcpRelated MCP server: Dexcom G7 MCP Server
Setup
Add to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nightscout": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/vgmakeev/nightscout-mcp", "nightscout-mcp"],
"env": {
"NIGHTSCOUT_URL": "https://YOUR_TOKEN@your-site.nightscout.com"
}
}
}
}Configuration
Variable | Description | Default |
| Nightscout URL (can include token: | Required |
| API secret (optional if using token in URL) | - |
| Display units: |
|
| TIR lower bound (auto-detects units: <30 = mmol) |
|
| TIR upper bound (auto-detects units: <30 = mmol) |
|
Example with custom TIR range
{
"nightscout": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/vgmakeev/nightscout-mcp", "nightscout-mcp"],
"env": {
"NIGHTSCOUT_URL": "https://TOKEN@your-site.nightscout.com",
"GLUCOSE_UNITS": "mmol",
"GLUCOSE_LOW": "4.0",
"GLUCOSE_HIGH": "10.0"
}
}
}Tools
Tool | Description |
| Current glucose reading |
| History for last N hours |
| TIR, CV, HbA1c for any date range |
| Monthly breakdown for a year |
| Insulin and carbs log |
| Nightscout server status |
| Pump, CGM, uploader status |
Examples
Ask your AI assistant:
"What's my current glucose?"
"Show my glucose history for the last 6 hours"
"Analyze my glucose control for December 2025"
"Give me a monthly breakdown for 2025"

TDQS
B3.4/5.0
Scored across 7 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Tools are mostly distinct, but 'glucose_history' and 'analyze' both support time ranges, which could cause misselection. However, descriptions clarify that one returns raw data and the other analyzes patterns.
Naming Consistency3/5
Tool names mix noun-based (glucose_current, treatments) and verb-based (analyze) conventions. There's no consistent verb_noun pattern, though names are still readable and predictable.
Tool Count5/5
7 tools is a well-scoped set for a Nightscout server, covering monitoring, analysis, and status without bloat.
Completeness4/5
The surface covers current glucose, history, analysis, treatments, devices, and status—core Nightscout interactions. Minor gaps like write operations or detailed alerts exist, but the read-only monitoring workflow is complete.
