Connect Strava training data to Claude for training load analysis and activity insights
Overview
Connects Strava training data to Claude so it can analyze training load, activity metrics and gear wear for cycling and running.
- What you can do
- Read recent activities and detailed metrics such as power, heart rate, speed and suffer score for a single activity. Analyze training load with ATL, CTL, TSB, trends and weekly volume statistics. Generate a weekly training plan based on current fitness and fatigue. Review power curve, FTP estimate and heart-rate zone distribution and cardiac drift. Check workout quality for interval consistency, power decoupling and recovery. Track gear mileage with maintenance warnings for chains, cassettes, tires and cables.
- When to use it
- Useful for athletes who log cycling, running or other sports on Strava and want an assistant to interpret training load, plan sessions, review interval workouts or flag gear replacement.
- Requirements
- A local process run with uvx from the PyPI package. A free Strava API app with Client ID and Client Secret, entered through the connector's authorization page, and the callback domain set to the server's hosted domain. Network access to Strava.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Strava Training MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
README
Strava MCP Server
Connect your Strava training data to Claude. This MCP server turns Claude into your personal training coach — analyzing your training load, planning workouts, and tracking your progress. Works with cycling, running, and any sport you track on Strava.
Install
Works with Claude Desktop and claude.ai on any plan. Free plans can add 1 custom connector (remove any existing connector first), Pro and Max are unlimited.
1. Create a Strava API app
This takes about 2 minutes. You need a free Strava API app so Claude can access your data.
- Go to strava.com/settings/api
- Fill in the form — Application Name, Category, and Description can be anything (e.g. "My Claude connector")
- Set Authorization Callback Domain to
strava-mcp-web.vercel.app - Click Create and note your Client ID and Client Secret
2. Add the connector
- Open Claude Desktop or claude.ai
- Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
- Paste this URL and save:
3. Connect
Click Connect on the newly added connector. This opens a page where you enter your Strava Client ID and Client Secret, then authorize with Strava.
That's it! Ask Claude about your training.
Tools
The server exposes 10 tools:
Example conversations
"I want to ride tonight, what should I do?" "How is my training load looking?" "Check the quality of my last interval workout" "When do I need to replace my chain?" "What's my FTP and how does it compare to last month?" "Am I spending enough time in zone 2?" "I'm training for a 150km race in April — am I on track?"
How it works
Claude pulls your Strava data in real-time and reasons about it in context — your recent rides, fitness trend, fatigue level, and goals.
Training load analysis uses the standard PMC model:
- ATL (7-day) — how tired you are now
- CTL (42-day) — your fitness level
- TSB — CTL minus ATL. Positive = fresh, negative = fatigued
- Ramp rate — week-over-week load change, with injury risk warnings
Gear maintenance tracks km on each bike and shoe, warning when chain (3000km), cassette (6000km), tires (5000km), or cables (8000km) need attention.
Power curve finds your best efforts across durations and estimates FTP at 95% of your 20-minute power.
HR analysis covers zone distribution (are you polarizing enough?) and cardiac drift (is your aerobic base improving?).
Limitations
- Training load uses suffer score / HR — it underestimates fatigue from strength training or activities where HR stays low
- Power features require a power meter or smart trainer
- The weekly plan is a heuristic, not a replacement for a certified coach
Troubleshooting
Connector not working? Remove and re-add the connector in Settings → Connectors.
Authentication error?
Check that your Strava API app has strava-mcp-web.vercel.app as the callback domain.
