Claude Desktop

Using npm package (recommended):

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fitbit": {
      "command": "mcp-fitbit",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Using local development version:

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fitbit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\mcp-fitbit\\build\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Config file locations:

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

First Run Authorization

When you first ask your AI assistant to use Fitbit data:

1. The server opens your browser to http://localhost:3000/auth
2. Log in to Fitbit and grant permissions
3. You'll be redirected to a success page
4. Your AI can now access your Fitbit data!

Development

npm run lint          # Check code quality
npm run format        # Fix formatting
npm run build         # Compile TypeScript
npm run dev           # Run with MCP inspector

Architecture: See TASKS.md for improvement opportunities and technical details.

Quick Start

🚀 Want to test the tools right away?

Option 1: Install from npm (Recommended)

1. Get Fitbit API credentials

   • Create an app with OAuth 2.0 Application Type: Personal
   • Set Callback URL: http://localhost:3000/callback
   • Note your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Install the package globally:

npm install -g mcp-fitbit

3. Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fitbit": {
      "command": "mcp-fitbit",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FITBIT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here",
        "FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Config file location:
  • Windows: %AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

4. Restart Claude Desktop and ask about your Fitbit data!

Option 2: Development Setup

1. Get Fitbit API credentials (see Installation below)
2. Then run:

git clone https://github.com/TheDigitalNinja/mcp-fitbit
cd mcp-fitbit
npm install
# Create .env with your Fitbit credentials
npm run dev

Both options open the MCP Inspector at http://localhost:5173 where you can test all tools interactively and handle the OAuth flow.

Installation

For End Users (npm package)

1. Get Fitbit API credentials at dev.fitbit.com

   • Set OAuth 2.0 Application Type to Personal
   • Set Callback URL to http://localhost:3000/callback

2. Install the package:

   Copy

   npm install -g mcp-fitbit

3. Create .env file in the package directory:

   When you run mcp-fitbit for the first time, it will tell you exactly where to create the .env file. It will look something like:

   Copy

   C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\mcp-fitbit\.env

4. Add your credentials to the .env file:

   Copy

   FITBIT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
   FITBIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here

5. Run the server:

   Copy

   mcp-fitbit

For Developers (from source)

1. Get Fitbit API credentials at dev.fitbit.com
