Strava MCP Overview
The strava-mcp MCP server connects MCP-compatible agents to Strava activities, streams, routes, and training context through the official Strava API v3. It keeps OAuth tokens on the local machine, throttles requests under Strava limits, and hides GPS coordinates unless explicitly enabled. Use it to check connection readiness, inspect available data, review recent training, or compare weekly load and intensity. It runs over stdio by default and can also expose a sessionless loopback HTTP endpoint.
Primary Use Cases for Strava MCP:
- Check Strava OAuth readiness before making API calls
- Review today's activity, weekly load, and intensity
- Compare weekly training with the prior week
- Test agent prompts with synthetic Strava data
