Oura MCP Server

Connect your Oura Ring to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible app! Ask questions about your sleep, activity, readiness, heart rate, and other health metrics using natural language.

What Can You Do?

Once installed, you can ask your AI assistant:

• "What was my sleep score last night?"
• "Show me my activity data for the past week"
• "How is my readiness trending this month?"
• "What was my heart rate during yesterday's workout?"
• "Show me my VO2 max progression"

Your AI assistant will have access to all your Oura Ring data and can analyze trends, compare periods, and give you insights.

Quick Setup

Note: This guide covers personal use with Personal Access Tokens. For production deployment with OAuth2, configure environment variables (OURA_CLIENT_ID, OURA_CLIENT_SECRET, DEPLOYED_URL) in your FastMCP Cloud dashboard and deploy.

Step 1: Get Your Oura Token

1. Go to https://cloud.ouraring.com/personal-access-tokens
2. Log in with your Oura account
3. Click "Create A New Personal Access Token"
4. Give it a name (like "Claude")
5. Copy the token - you won't see it again!

Step 2: Configure Your MCP Client

For Claude Desktop:

Find your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Open it in a text editor and add this (replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your token from Step 1):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oura": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["oura-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OURA_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers, just add the "oura" section inside "mcpServers".

For other MCP clients (Cursor, etc.): Refer to your client's documentation for MCP server configuration. Use the same uvx oura-mcp command with the OURA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.

Step 3: Restart Your MCP Client

Close and reopen your application (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). Look for the MCP servers/tools indicator - you should see "oura" listed as connected.

Step 4: Start Using It!

Try asking: "Show me my sleep data from last week"

Available Data

The server provides access to:

Daily Summaries

• Sleep scores and analysis (deep sleep, REM, efficiency, etc.)
• Activity scores, steps, calories, and active time
• Readiness scores with HRV, temperature, and recovery metrics
• Stress and recovery data

Detailed Metrics

• Sleep sessions with heart rate, HRV, and breathing patterns
• Workouts with intensity, calories, and distance
• Heart rate data in 5-minute intervals
• VO2 max estimates
• Blood oxygen levels (Gen 3 ring)
• Resilience and cardiovascular age

Personal Data

• Ring information and settings
• Personal profile data
• Tags and annotations

Troubleshooting

"No access token available" or connection error

1. Double-check your token is correct in the config file
2. Make sure there are no extra spaces or quotes
3. Restart your application after making changes
4. Create a new token if needed: https://cloud.ouraring.com/personal-access-tokens

No data showing up

• Make sure your Oura Ring has synced recently (open the Oura mobile app)
• Sleep data requires manual sync via the app
• You can only access dates when you were wearing the ring

MCP client doesn't see the Oura server

1. Check your client's MCP servers/tools list - is "oura" listed?
2. Verify your config file has valid JSON (use a JSON validator online)
3. Make sure you restarted your application after editing the config

For Developers

Local Development

git clone https://github.com/pokidyshev/oura-mcp.git
cd oura-mcp

# Create .env file with your token
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add: OURA_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token

# Install and test
uv sync
uv run mcp dev src/oura_mcp/server.py

Production Deployment (OAuth2)

For production deployment to FastMCP Cloud:

1. Configure OAuth in Oura Developer Portal:

   • Go to https://cloud.ouraring.com/oauth/applications
   • Add redirect URI: https://your-app.fastmcp.app/mcp/auth/callback

2. Generate a JWT signing key:

   python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
   

   Copy the output - you'll need it in the next step.

3. Set environment variables in FastMCP Cloud dashboard:

   OURA_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
   OURA_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
   DEPLOYED_URL=https://your-app.fastmcp.app
   JWT_SIGNING_KEY=<paste_generated_key_here>
   

   ⚠️ Important Notes:

   • DEPLOYED_URL is the base domain (FastMCP Cloud handles /mcp mounting automatically)
   • Keep JWT_SIGNING_KEY stable! If you change it, all user tokens become invalid.

4. Deploy: Push to connected GitHub repo or use FastMCP CLI

5. Use in Claude Desktop: Add to config:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "oura": {
         "url": "https://your-app.fastmcp.app"
       }
     }
   }
