Apple Health runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 99 installs a week from npm. Last commit 2 Oct 2026.
Local-first Apple Health MCP server for questions about your sleep, workouts and heart data.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Apple Health every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
