This new tool allows Claude to analyze your Wings metrics
Withings users now have a new way to access their health data, one that bypasses the app entirely and powers everything through AI. The new MCP open source server connects Withings devices to Claude, allowing users to query their metrics in plain English.
The idea is simple on the face. Instead of scrolling through charts in the Wings app, you just ask questions. AI ingests your data and responds with analytics. That includes sleep stages, weight trends, ECG readings, blood pressure, activity levels and more.
What the MCP server actually does
The MCP server sits between your Wings account and Claude and links the two together. Once connected, AI gets read-only access to your data through secure login. Your login information is not shared with the AI itself, the server handles that part and only passes the data if you actually request it.
Behind the scenes, it works on something called the Model Context Protocol. That’s just a standard to let AI connect to external data sources in a clean way. In simple terms, it turns your health data into something you can talk about.
That changes the whole experience a bit. You’re no longer off the charts. He’s just asking questions. How has my sleep been this month, my resting heart rate is up, I’m actually improving on my weight. AI integrates everything and gives you the exact answer. At least, that’s the idea.
A wide range of data in one place
The range of data supported is wide. Almost anything synced to your Wings account is accessible. That includes smart scales, hybrid watches, sleep tracking pads and blood pressure monitors.
Sleep data exceeds the duration of a simple period. You can dig into the light, deep and REM stages, heart rate at night, breathing disorders and snoring detection. On the body composition side, it pulls in weight, fat percentage, body weight and other metrics tied to a connected scale.
Cardiovascular health data is also part of the mix. ECG readings, atrial fibrillation detection results, pulse wave velocity and blood pressure measurements are all available for analysis. Activity data includes items such as steps, calories, elevation and workout summaries.
Not that this data was previously hidden. The difference is how it is achieved. The AI layer integrates everything and makes it easy to explore without jumping between screens.
Privacy, control and the open source angle
Now let’s not forget, Withings already has its own AI layer called “Withings Intelligence,” built into the Wings app. But this is part of their subscription phase and still in beta. So if you are not in the pairing category, this gives you another option.
The project is open source. Which means the more tech savvy can inspect the code and use the server if they want full control over how your data is handled.
For the rest of us, the hosted version is much easier. It uses encrypted tokens and avoids storing personal health data beyond what is needed for an active session. Access can be revoked at any time through your Wings account.
However, it introduces a third party to the flow of sensitive data. Although there are safeguards in place, this is not the same as staying completely within the legal ecosystem. So that’s something to keep in mind.
