Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Whoop MCP Server rajdeepmondaldotcom Sports	Garmin Local MCP anup-shesh Sports
Summary	WHOOP recovery, sleep, strain, and workouts with server-side analysis: trends, lag-aware correlations, training load, and full-history export. Demo mode needs no WHOOP account; one-command setup for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.	Local-first Garmin data warehouse: incremental sync into SQLite you own, with server-side trends, lag-aware correlations, personal baselines, and anomaly detection returned as compact tables. Analysis keeps working offline when Garmin's API breaks, and a zero-auth FIT-bundle import fills gaps with no login at all.
