A side-by-side look at the Health4ai and Vaultbeat MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Health4ai for biology, medicine and bioinformatics work; choose Vaultbeat for biology, medicine and bioinformatics over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
get_health_summary, get_sleep, get_hrv_trend.vaultbeat_doctor, get_strength_log, get_food_log.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

The tool to call before telling anyone their data is missing.get_strength_logStrength sessions: exercises, sets × reps, volume per session.get_food_logMeals and items per day, with optional kcal / protein / fat / carbs. The 14 newest days that have a log by default (not a calendar fortnight), or a `since` / `until` window.get_workoutsWorkouts: type, duration, calories, distance.get_user_profileSex, age, date of birth and height. Needs Vaultbeat for iOS 1.2.9 or later.get_intradaySamples within a day, for HRV: one row per hour that has samples (`granularity="hourly"`) or one per sample (`"raw"`). About 8–14 rows a day; `limit` counts rows.log_food_appendAdd to a day. Cannot delete anything — the safe default when a day may already have entries.log_food_entryReplace that whole day** with what is passed, and report exactly what was removed.log_weight_entryRecord a weigh-in, keeping that day's body composition.log_symptomRecord one symptom the person reports, as structured fields a later read can match against sleep, food and heart rate.update_symptomChange a reported symptom (usually its end time), or erase one logged by mistake.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
