LibreLink MCP Server

A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude Desktop with secure access to your FreeStyle LibreLink continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data.

🌟 Features

• Real-time glucose monitoring - Get current readings with trend arrows
• Historical data analysis - Retrieve glucose history over customizable periods
• Comprehensive analytics - Time-in-range, GMI, variability metrics
• Pattern recognition - Dawn phenomenon, meal responses, stability analysis
• Privacy-first design - All data stays local on your machine
• Secure credential management - Local encrypted storage
• Cross-platform health integration - Works alongside other health MCP servers

📋 Prerequisites

• LibreLink Account: Active FreeStyle LibreLink account with glucose data
• Compatible Sensor: FreeStyle Libre 2 or 3 with data sharing enabled
• Node.js: Version 18.0.0 or higher
• Claude Desktop: For MCP integration

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/librelink-mcp-server.git
cd librelink-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

2. Configuration

# Configure your LibreLink credentials
npm run configure

You'll be prompted for:

• Email: Your LibreLink account email
• Password: Your LibreLink account password
• Region: US or EU (based on your location)
• Target ranges: Glucose target ranges (default: 70-180 mg/dL)

3. Test Connection

# Test your LibreLink connection
node test-real-connection.js

4. Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "librelink": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/librelink-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

5. Restart Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.

🩸 Usage Examples

Once integrated with Claude Desktop, you can ask:

Basic Glucose Queries

• "What's my current glucose level?"
• "Show me my glucose readings from the past 6 hours"
• "What's my average glucose today?"

Analytics & Insights

• "Calculate my time in range for this week"
• "Analyze my glucose patterns and trends"
• "Do I have dawn phenomenon?"
• "How stable are my overnight glucose levels?"

Health Correlations

When combined with other health MCP servers:

• "How does my sleep quality affect my glucose control?"
• "Compare my glucose variability with my stress levels"
• "Show the impact of my supplements on glucose stability"

🔒 Security & Privacy

Data Privacy

• Local processing only - No data sent to external servers
• Your data stays on your machine - Complete privacy control
• No analytics or tracking - Zero telemetry

Credential Security

• Local storage - Credentials stored in ~/.librelink-mcp/config.json
• File permissions - Automatically set to user-only access (600)
• No cloud storage - Never uploaded or shared

Security Best Practices

# Verify file permissions
ls -la ~/.librelink-mcp/config.json
# Should show: -rw------- (user read/write only)

# Optional: Encrypt config directory
# (Implementation details in documentation)

⚠️ Important Notes

LibreLink API Usage

• This project uses an unofficial API through reverse engineering
• Not affiliated with Abbott or FreeStyle Libre
• Use at your own discretion and ensure compliance with LibreLink terms
• API may change - community maintained compatibility

Data Sharing Requirements

• Ensure your LibreLink app has data sharing enabled
• Your sensor must be active and transmitting data
• LibreLink account (not LibreLinkUp) credentials required

Sensor Compatibility
