FreeStyle Libre (LibreLinkUp)
Read-only FreeStyle Libre CGM glucose readings, graphs and logbook via LibreLinkUp
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Documentation
From the project's README on GitHub, refreshed weekly. Links open on GitHub.
freestyle-libre-mcp
An MCP server that gives Claude (or any MCP client) read-only access to FreeStyle Libre
CGM glucose readings shared through LibreLinkUp. It talks to the LibreLinkUp API with its
own small async client (librelinkup_mcp.core); the API behaviour it relies on follows
pylibrelinkup.
Tools
| Tool | Returns |
|---|---|
list_patients | People the LibreLinkUp account follows |
get_current_glucose | Latest reading with trend arrow |
get_glucose_graph | Readings from about the last 12 hours, oldest first |
get_glucose_logbook | Logged events from about the last 2 weeks, oldest first |
Every reading tool takes an optional patient: a name ("Ann Lee", "ann") or a
patient_id from list_patients. It can be omitted when the account follows one person.
Readings include value in the account's unit, value_mg_dl, unit, timestamp (the
sensor's local time), timestamp_utc, and is_high/is_low flags. The current reading
also has age_minutes, since LibreLinkUp returns the last known value when the sensor or
phone is out of range.
Setup
For a step-by-step guide, including account setup and troubleshooting, see the installation guide. Full documentation is at https://freestyle-libre-mcp.readthedocs.io.
You need a LibreLinkUp follower account: invite it from the LibreLink app, accept the invite in the LibreLinkUp app, and accept any terms there before using this server.
git clone https://github.com/osjayaprakash/freestyle-libre-mcp.git && cd freestyle-libre-mcp
uv sync
| Variable | Required | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL | yes | Follower account email | |
LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD | yes | Follower account password | |
LIBRELINKUP_REGION | no | US | One of US, EU, EU2, AE, AP, AU, CA, DE, FR, JP, LA, RU |
If the region is wrong, the first tool call tells you which one to set.
Run from PyPI
No clone needed; uv fetches and runs the published package:
uvx freestyle-libre-mcp
In a client config, use "command": "uvx", "args": ["freestyle-libre-mcp"].
Run with Docker
The server speaks MCP over stdio, so keep -i:
docker run -i --rm \
-e LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL -e LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD -e LIBRELINKUP_REGION \
ghcr.io/osjayaprakash/freestyle-libre-mcp:latest
In a client config, use "command": "docker" with those arguments, and pass the
variables through the client's env block.
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"librelinkup": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "/absolute/path/to/freestyle-libre-mcp", "run", "freestyle-libre-mcp"],
"env": {
"LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL": "you@example.com",
"LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD": "your-password",
"LIBRELINKUP_REGION": "US"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add librelinkup \
-e LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL=you@example.com \
-e LIBRELINKUP_PASSWORD=your-password \
-e LIBRELINKUP_REGION=US \
-- uv --directory /absolute/path/to/freestyle-libre-mcp run freestyle-libre-mcp
Langfuse tracing (optional)
Each tool call becomes a Langfuse trace, with a child span for the LibreLinkUp API call. Install the extra and set the keys:
uv sync --extra langfuse
In the server command, use run --extra langfuse freestyle-libre-mcp instead of
run freestyle-libre-mcp.
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY, LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY | Tracing is on only when both are set |
LANGFUSE_BASE_URL | Langfuse URL for self-hosted or regional instances (default: Langfuse Cloud) |
LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_DATA | true to include tool inputs, outputs and error messages. Default false |
Privacy: glucose readings and patient names are health data. By default, traces hold
only tool names, timings, patient UUIDs, and error class names. Setting
LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_DATA=true sends readings and names to your Langfuse instance; only do
that with an instance you trust, such as a self-hosted one.
Development
uv sync
uv run pytest # offline suite
uv run pytest -m live # hits the real API; needs LIBRELINKUP_EMAIL/PASSWORD
uv run ruff check src tests && uv run ruff format --check src tests
