Unofficial local-first Strava MCP server for AI training and performance agents.
Strava MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Strava directly instead of describing what you should do. Unofficial local-first Strava MCP server for AI training and performance agents.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at delx-wellness-hermes on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Strava is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
strava_connection_status — verify local setup, scopes and readiness before calling Stravastrava_data_inventory — inventory supported data domains, scopes, privacy modes and recommended first calls without calling Strava APIsstrava_daily_summary — latest activity, weekly load and intensity context for todaystrava_weekly_summary — scorecard, comparison vs prior week, next-week training planstrava_get_activity_streams — GPS lat/lng requires include_gps=true or raw modeYou will need 2 environment variables: STRAVA_CLIENT_ID, STRAVA_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.
http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback Why these scopes: - read — public profile, routes and public Strava resources - activity:read_all — your activities, including private activities visible to your app - profile:read_all — fuller authenticated athlete profile fields No write scope is requested by default.Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Strava's toolset — strava_connection_status, strava_data_inventory, strava_daily_summary and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by davidbatista; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
