## What it does

The server connects an MCP client to Life Dashboard data in Postgres. Its eight read-only tools let an AI answer questions about health records and app screen time. You could compare sleep patterns with activity over a chosen period.

Companion apps send data from Android or iPhone to the database; Grafana is also part of the stack for viewing that history. The MCP server is optional and stays off until you provide a token. Setup requires MCP transport and Postgres connection values, including a password. Without access to the database, the server cannot answer questions about its records.

## Requirements
- Needs: Docker
- Environment variables: `MCP_TRANSPORT`, `PGHOST`, `PGDATABASE`, `PGUSER`, `PGPASSWORD` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env MCP_TRANSPORT=<MCP_TRANSPORT> --env PGHOST=<PGHOST> --env PGDATABASE=<PGDATABASE> --env PGUSER=<PGUSER> --env PGPASSWORD=<PGPASSWORD> --transport stdio mcp -- docker run -i --rm -e MCP_TRANSPORT -e PGHOST -e PGDATABASE -e PGUSER -e PGPASSWORD ghcr.io/owen282000/life-dashboard-mcp:1.2.0

## When to use it
- ask an AI about past health measurements
- compare sleep and activity across periods
- inspect screen-time history by app

## Example prompts
- Compare my sleep during weeks when I walked more.
- Which apps took up the most screen time?
- How have my health records changed over the last period?
