For Developers: Self-Hosting

Want to run your own instance? Here's how to deploy this MCP server yourself.

Prerequisites

1. Bun 1.1+ installed
2. A Withings Developer Account

Step 1: Create Withings Application

1. Go to Withings Developer Portal
2. Create a new application
3. Note your Client ID and Client Secret
4. Set your Redirect URI to: https://your-domain.com/callback
   • This must be a publicly accessible URL (localhost is not supported by Withings)
   • Can be any domain where you'll host the server (e.g., Fly.io, Railway, your own server, etc.)

Important: Remove Google Analytics

The hosted version includes a Google Analytics tag (G-ZMGF9WXL3W) in the static pages under public/. If you're forking this repo, remove or replace the GA snippet in public/index.html and public/health.html, and update the CSP headers in src/server/app.ts accordingly.

Step 2: Clone and Setup

# Clone the repositorygit clone https://github.com/your-username/withings-mcp.gitcd withings-mcp
# Install dependenciesbun install
# Generate encryption secretbun run generate-secret# Copy the output - you'll need it for environment variables

Step 2.5: Set Up Supabase Database

1. Create a free project at Supabase
2. Install the Supabase CLI: bun install -g supabase (or use brew install supabase/tap/supabase)
3. Link your project: supabase link --project-ref <your-project-ref>
4. Apply the database migrations: supabase db push
5. Get your credentials from Dashboard → Settings → API:
   • Project URL → SUPABASE_URL
   • Service role key → SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY

Step 3: Local Development

Note: Withings requires a publicly accessible URL for OAuth callbacks. For local development, use a tunneling service to expose your local server or deploy to a staging environment for testing.

# Copy environment templatecp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your values# WITHINGS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id# WITHINGS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret# WITHINGS_REDIRECT_URI=https://your-tunnel-url.com/callback# ENCRYPTION_SECRET=paste_generated_secret_here# SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co# SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY=your_service_role_key# PORT=3000
# Run locally (Bun executes TypeScript directly — no build step)bun run dev

Make sure your redirect URI in the .env file matches the publicly accessible URL pointing to your local server.

Step 4: Deploy to Production

# The project runs TypeScript directly with Bun — no build step required.bun run start

Deploy to DigitalOcean App Platform (its Bun buildpack detects package.json and runs bun run start automatically), or any other host that supports Bun.

Set the following environment variables on your hosting platform:

Step 5: Update Withings App Settings

Go back to your Withings developer app and update the redirect URI to match your deployed URL: https://your-domain.com/callback

Step 6: Configure Your MCP Client

For Claude Desktop:

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to Customize → Connectors section
3. Click the + button, then select Add Custom Connector
4. Fill in the following details:
   • Name: Withings (or any name you prefer)
   • Remote MCP server URL: https://your-domain.com/mcp
5. Click Add
6. Click Connect next to the connector to authorize

Configure your MCP client with the following connection details:

• Server URL: https://your-domain.com
• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Endpoint: /mcp
• Authentication: OAuth 2.0
• Discovery URL: /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Security Features

Token Encryption

All Withings access tokens, refresh tokens, and authorization codes are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM:

• Algorithm: AES-256-GCM (authenticated encryption)
• Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations
• Defense in Depth: Even if the database is compromised, tokens remain protected

Important: Keep your ENCRYPTION_SECRET:

• At least 32 characters long
• Randomly generated (use bun run generate-secret)
• Secure and never committed to version control
• Consistent across server restarts

OAuth Hardening

• Redirect URI validation: The /authorize endpoint validates redirect_uri against the registered client's allowed URIs, preventing open redirect attacks
• Single-use auth codes: Authorization codes are atomically consumed to prevent replay attacks (per RFC 6749)
• PKCE support: SHA-256 code challenge method for enhanced security
• Startup validation: Server refuses to start if required environment variables are missing

Transport Security

• Session-token binding: MCP sessions are bound to the bearer token that created them, preventing cross-user session hijacking
• JSON-RPC validation: All incoming messages are validated against the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification before processing
• Request body limits: 1MB global limit to prevent memory exhaustion
• HTTPS redirect: HTTP requests are automatically redirected to HTTPS in production
• Strict CSP: Content Security Policy with no unsafe-inline directives
• Atomic rate limiting: PostgreSQL function with row-level locking prevents race conditions

Privacy-Safe Logging

The custom logger automatically redacts all sensitive information:

• ✅ Operational events and errors logged
• ❌ No tokens, credentials, or auth codes
• ❌ No user IDs or personal information
• ❌ No API request/response payloads with sensitive data

You can review the logging implementation in src/utils/logger.ts.
