What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. Think of it as a bridge that allows AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your custom AI application to access real-world data and perform actions on your behalf.Spike’s MCP Server
Spike provides a ready-to-use MCP server that makes health and fitness data accessible to AI applications. This means you can ask AI assistants natural language questions about your health data, and they can automatically fetch, analyze, and interpret information from your connected wearables and health devices. The MCP server handles authentication, data retrieval, and formatting, so AI applications can focus on analysis and user interaction rather than API integration complexity. For more information about how to use the MCP server, see the Implementation Guide. For a list of available MCP tools, see the Tools page.Common Use Cases
