Integrations

What Emira connects to, and which way the data goes.

Integrations are usually listed as logos. What actually matters is the direction: what gets read, what gets written, and what stays where it is. Here is all of it.

Health Connect

Reads
Energy burned, and body weight if you keep it there.
Writes
Nothing.

Energy burned is what makes a dynamic daily target possible. Weight is read only, and Emira keeps no weight history of its own, because that is not what this app is for.

Wear OS

Reads
Entries you log on the watch.
Writes
Your day, so the watch can show it.

A watch entry is saved on the watch first, then synced, either directly or by way of the phone when that is the only route available. The same idempotency key travels every path, so an entry logged once stays logged once even if two routes succeed.

AI assistants (MCP)

Reads
Your profile, goals, daily totals and entries.
Writes
New entries and corrections.

A remote MCP server with OAuth against the same account as the app. Five tools, a consent screen listing exactly what is granted, and tokens stored only as hashes.

Product databases

Reads
Product records and nutrition tables.
Writes
Nothing.

Open Food Facts and a local catalogue answer barcode scans and product searches. Where neither has an entry, a web lookup finds a nutrition table, and if that fails too the ingredient is marked as estimated.

The rule behind all of it

Emira reads widely and writes narrowly. It will take energy data, product records and nutrition tables from anywhere that has them, and it writes back into almost nothing: not your weight history, not your activity log, not a shared health record.

The one exception is your own journal, which is the thing you asked it to keep. An assistant connected over MCP can write there, because that is the entire point of connecting it. Everything it can do is on the assistant page, and the setup steps are in the connection guide.

Questions people ask

Does Emira write my weight to Health Connect?
No. Weight is read only, and Emira does not keep a weight history. If you track weight, it belongs to whichever app you already use for it.How goals use what it reads
Do I need my phone nearby to log on the watch?
No. The watch saves the entry locally first and syncs on its own when it can, using the phone only as an alternative route. Offline on both devices still results in exactly one entry once they catch up.
How do I connect an AI assistant?
Add https://www.emira-foodjournal.com/mcp in an MCP client that supports OAuth, sign in with your Emira account, and approve the access. The connection guide walks through it.Connection guide
Where does product data come from?
Open Food Facts and a local product catalogue, with a web lookup as fallback. Whichever source answered is recorded on the ingredient, so you can always see which one you are looking at.How each source is ranked
