How many steps and active calories did I log yesterday?

What you can do with Oura in Claude and ChatGPT

For Oura Ring wearers who want to look at their own sleep, readiness and activity data.

Review your sleep over a period of nights

The AI reads daily sleep and sleep documents over a date range. You get sleep scores per night and the main trends.

Check readiness and stress for a period

The AI reads daily readiness, stress and resilience documents over a date range. It sums up how recovered you were and which days were heavy.

See steps, activity and workouts

The AI reads daily activity, workout and session documents for a date range. You see movement per day and your exercise.

Look at heart-rate samples and ring battery

The AI reads heart-rate samples over a datetime range, for example to find the lowest overnight value, and ring battery readings or the latest level.

Set up, renew or remove a webhook subscription

The AI lists the webhook subscriptions, creates one for a callback URL, renews one before it expires, or deletes it. Oura verifies the URL before it activates.

How do I connect Oura?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Oura personal access token.

Create one at cloud.ouraring.com → Personal Access Tokens. Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
Enter the name Oura and this URL, then click Add:
https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your Oura personal access token.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Oura.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Oura and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Oura personal access token.
In Plugins, install Oura, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http oura https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oura": {
      "url": "https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "oura": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add oura --url https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login oura

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://oura.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Oura personal access token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Pricing

Plan	Price	Limit
Free	$0	50 tool calls / month
Pro	$9/mo · $90/yr	10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+	$39/mo · $390/yr	100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Oura server only. Ask your AI to run oura_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with oura_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with oura_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

Get personal infooura_get_personal_info
Fetch the wearer's profile — age, weight, height, biological sex and email.
List documents from a collectionoura_list_documents
List documents from one Oura collection over a date range. This is the main read: pick `collection` for what you want — daily_sleep and sleep for sleep, daily_readiness for recovery, daily_activity for movement, daily_stress and daily_resilience for load, workout and session for exercise, daily_spo2, daily_cardiovascular_age and vO2_max for cardiovascular measures, tag and enhanced_tag for the wearer's own annotations, rest_mode_period and ring_configuration for device state.
Get one documentoura_get_document
Fetch a single document by id from one collection. Ids come from oura_list_documents.
Get heart-rate samplesoura_get_heartrate
Fetch individual heart-rate samples over a DATETIME range. This collection is sampled continuously, so it uses start_datetime/end_datetime rather than dates, and can return a great many points — narrow the window or pass latest.
Get ring battery leveloura_get_ring_battery_level
Fetch ring battery readings over a DATETIME range, or just the latest.
List webhook subscriptionsoura_list_webhook_subscriptions
List the webhook subscriptions registered for the application.
Get one webhook subscriptionoura_get_webhook_subscription
Fetch a single webhook subscription with its callback URL, event type and expiry.

Create a webhook subscriptionoura_create_webhook_subscription
Register a webhook so Oura notifies your callback URL when data changes. Oura verifies the URL before activating it, and the subscription EXPIRES — renew it with oura_renew_webhook_subscription.
Renew a webhook subscriptionoura_renew_webhook_subscription
Extend a webhook subscription's expiry. Oura subscriptions lapse if not renewed, so this is the tool that keeps a live integration alive.
Delete a webhook subscriptionoura_delete_webhook_subscription
Remove a webhook subscription. Notifications stop immediately.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)oura_usage_status
Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
Request a missing featureoura_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Oura tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
Upgrade to Pro or Pro+oura_upgrade
Get a paid plan for Oura (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
Cancel the Pro subscriptionoura_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's Oura Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run oura_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Oura in Claude or ChatGPT?

Review your sleep over a period of nights. Check readiness and stress for a period. See steps, activity and workouts. Look at heart-rate samples and ring battery. Set up, renew or remove a webhook subscription. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Oura product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Oura. The server calls the Oura API with your own Oura access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Oura to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Oura personal access token. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Oura key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Oura personal access token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Oura credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Oura API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Oura.

Can the AI change my Oura data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 10 Oura tools can create or change data. The other 7 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Oura server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run oura_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run oura_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run oura_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Oura tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with oura_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
