What is the Eight MCP server?

Unofficial Eight Sleep MCP server: read sleep trends, temperature, alarms; gated pod control. The eight mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 3 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • eight_sleep_nightly_summary — Multi-night summary: best night, worst night, mean score, nights under 70 / over 85 — one call instead of post-processing raw get_trends
  • eight_sleep_wellness_context — Returns a normalized delx-wellness-context/v1 payload so other Delx Wellness tools (Nourish, Exercise Catalog, Telegram coaches) can read sleep
  • Action — Tool

Adding it to your client

delx-wellness-hermes on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Configuration

You will need 3 environment variables: EIGHT_SLEEP_TOKEN_PATH, EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_ID, EIGHT_SLEEP_CLIENT_SECRET. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Eight's toolset — eight_sleep_nightly_summary, eight_sleep_wellness_context, Action — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by davidmosiah; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the eight mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Eight to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (eight_sleep_nightly_summary, eight_sleep_wellness_context, Action) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Eight directly.
