Connect your AI to your records.
Once your iPhone is syncing to your computer, connect an assistant that supports local stdio MCP on that same computer. Check which records are available, then ask a question about your history.
Before you connect
You need a paired iPhone, a running receiver, and a successful first sync. If you have not reached that point, start with installation and pairing. If you are still deciding whether to run a receiver, read which workflow fits you.
Local connection, your choice of model. The MCP process and stored history stay on the receiver computer. If your assistant uses a cloud model, the provider may receive the query results the client sends. Review your client's data controls before connecting it.
1. Check that records have arrived
Confirm the first upload succeeded and check the dates and categories available on the receiver. A connection test alone does not prove that records have synced. Automatic delivery is best-effort and depends on iOS, your network, and receiver availability.
2. Add the bridge to your assistant
Use a client that can launch a local stdio MCP server on the receiver computer. Choose your client in the setup recipe catalog for its configuration location, executable, arguments, and connection check.
The iPhone's receiver URL is for sync, not a remote MCP address. Keep the existing receiver and database when adding another assistant; you do not need to pair the phone again.
The guides below provide longer walkthroughs, troubleshooting, and removal steps. For a client outside the catalog, use the release-matched MCP instructions with its own documentation. A remote connector alone is not the same connection. For terminal workflows, the receiver also provides direct read-only CLI queries.
3. Verify access and ask a question
Run your client's connection test and start a session that loads the bridge tools. Ask which categories and dates are available before asking for a comparison.
- How has my sleep changed since last week?
- Which days did I record a workout?
- Which dates or sources are missing from this comparison?
Check that answers cite the records and dates used. Missing data is unknown, not zero. The bridge supplies records, not medical advice.
If the client connects but no records appear, use sync troubleshooting. To change who can read your data or remove a stored copy, see access and deletion controls.
