LibreLink Server

License: MIT Node.js Version TypeScript

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

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)

• ✅ FreeStyle Libre 3
• ❓ FreeStyle Libre 1 (may work, not tested)

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"No connections found"

• Verify you're using LibreLink (not LibreLinkUp) credentials
• Check that data sharing is enabled in your LibreLink app
• Ensure your sensor is active and connected

"Authentication failed"

• Double-check email and password
• Verify correct region (US/EU)
• Try logging into LibreLink app to confirm credentials

"Connection timeout"

• Check internet connection
• Verify LibreLink service status
• Try again after a few minutes
