Google Health — skill or MCP

Same binary either way. Do not duplicate the API client.

Choose a surface

MCP — tools appear natively after stdio/HTTP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "google-health": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "google-health-mcp-unofficial"] } } }

Do not put mutation flags in that snippet.

Skill / CLI — no MCP client required. Same tools:

npx -y google-health-mcp-unofficial call google_health_connection_status --json '{}'

If MCP tools named google_* are already available, use them. Do not also shell out.

Loop

1. Call google_health_connection_status (or doctor --json when that exists).
2. Use read tools as asked.
3. Stop on USER_ACTION_REQUIRED. Do not invent env flags. Do not enable mutations from this skill.

Never

• Paste tokens into git, chat logs, or the prompt
• Copy a mutations-enabled assignment into config
