⚡ One-command install with Delx Wellness for Hermes:
npx -y delx-wellness-hermes setup— preconfigures this connector and the other 8 in a dedicated Hermes profile.Or wire it standalone into Claude Desktop / Cursor / ChatGPT Desktop — see the install section below.
Default is stdio. Optional Streamable HTTP — no session id, JSON responses, loopback only:
Env: SAMSUNG_HEALTH_MCP_HOST, SAMSUNG_HEALTH_MCP_PORT, SAMSUNG_HEALTH_MCP_TRANSPORT=http.
Unofficial local-first MCP server that reads Samsung Health personal-data CSV/ZIP exports and exposes them safely to AI agents.
Unofficial project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Samsung Electronics. Samsung Health is a trademark of Samsung Electronics. This package reads exports you generate yourself from the Samsung Health app.
No live Samsung Health cloud API. Samsung has Android SDK paths for partner apps, but this Node MCP does not log into Samsung, scrape accounts, or read Health Connect directly. It reads local exports now; a future Android bridge can sit beside it.
Built by David Mosiah as part of Delx Wellness, a registry of local-first wellness MCP connectors for Claude, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw and other MCP-compatible agents.
Samsung Health can collect high-signal wellness data from Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Ring and phones: steps, sleep, exercise, heart rate, oxygen saturation, body measurements and more. Samsung's official Health Data SDK can access many of these data types from Android apps with user permission, but distribution requires the Samsung app process and partnership flow. For a desktop MCP today, the reliable privacy-preserving path is a local personal-data download.
This connector reads that download locally, supports a folder of CSV files, a single CSV, or a zip containing CSV files, then exposes bounded summaries and records through MCP. No Samsung credentials, no OAuth token, no cloud proxy.
Transfer the downloaded Samsung Health folder or zip to this machine.
Configure and verify:
Or let the CLI find the newest local Samsung Health export in Downloads, Desktop or Documents, copy it into managed local storage, and save that path:
Supported export paths:
/path/to/SamsungHealth/ or another folder containing CSV files/path/to/samsung_health_export.zip/path/to/com.samsung.health.step_count.csvThen add this to your MCP client config:
For Claude Desktop, run setup --client claude --export-path /path/to/SamsungHealth and the snippet is written for you.
Keep it fresh — watch a folder (no Android device needed):
Now every time you download personal data from the Samsung Health app and drop the new SamsungHealth folder (or its .zip, or any *samsung*health*.zip) into that folder, the connector auto-promotes the newest one to be the active export — on server startup and live while it runs — and refreshes the cached summaries. You can also trigger a re-scan on demand with the samsung_health_reimport tool. This is the cross-platform recurring-refresh path; a fully live Samsung Health sync still needs a native Android Health Connect bridge.
The parser is intentionally flexible because Samsung personal-data downloads can vary by app version, locale and device. It infers record types from CSV filenames and headers.
| Data | Available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steps | yes | samsung_health_steps |
| Distance + active energy | yes | When present in CSVs or exercise rows |
| Heart rate + resting heart rate | yes | Galaxy Watch exports when available |
| HRV, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation | yes | Device and region dependent |
| Sleep + sleep stages | yes | Galaxy Watch sleep exports when available |
| Workouts / exercise | yes | Duration, distance, calories and activity type |
| Body weight + body fat | yes | When logged or synced |
| Live Health Connect read | no | Planned separate Android bridge |
| Samsung account login | no | Deliberately unsupported |

samsung-health://capabilitiessamsung-health://agent-manifestsamsung-health://inventorysamsung-health://summary/dailysamsung-health://summary/weeklySAMSUNG_HEALTH_PRIVACY_MODE defaults to summary; raw record dumps are opt-in. It applies to every data path: samsung_health_list_records, samsung_health_list_workouts and samsung_health_daily_summary (which returns individual workout records only when privacy_mode is structured or raw).samsung_health_weekly_summary accepts privacy_mode but always aggregates — a 30-day window of raw workouts is not what a weekly rollup is for. Rather than echoing back a mode it did not apply, the response carries requested_privacy_mode (what you asked for), privacy_mode (always summary, what was applied) and a privacy_disclosure naming the override. For record-level access use samsung_health_daily_summary or samsung_health_list_workouts.metadata is allowlisted, not denylisted. Only recognised wellness columns (times, durations, distances, calories, heart/sleep/body metrics, source names) leave the parser. GPS coordinates, altitude, deviceuuid and free-text user fields are dropped at parse time and never reach any tool, resource or raw response; a withheld_metadata_count field reports how many columns were dropped.setup writes these settings into ~/.samsung-health-mcp/config.json with 0600 permissions.
setup --auto-import scans common local folders for the newest Samsung Health export and copies it to ~/.samsung-health-mcp/exports/ with restrictive permissions. Fully live Samsung Health sync still requires a separate Android bridge.
setup --watch-path <dir> (or SAMSUNG_HEALTH_WATCH_PATH) makes the connector treat a folder as a drop zone. On startup, while running (via filesystem events), and whenever the samsung_health_reimport tool is called, it promotes the newest Samsung Health export found there — a SamsungHealth export directory of CSVs, a single *.csv, or any *samsung*health*.zip — to be the active export and clears the snapshot + incremental caches so the next summary reflects the new data. samsung_health_connection_status reports the watch folder state and warns when a newer export is waiting. Fully live sync still requires a native Android Health Connect bridge.
After Hermes config changes, use /reload-mcp or hermes mcp test samsung_health. Don't restart the gateway for normal export access.
