📦 Installation

Standard Installation

pip install garmy

With Optional Features

# For local database functionality
pip install garmy[localdb]

# For MCP server functionality (AI assistants)
pip install garmy[mcp]

# For everything
pip install garmy[all]

Development Installation

git clone https://github.com/bes-dev/garmy.git
cd garmy
pip install -e ".[dev]"

🚀 Quick Start

Basic API Usage

from garmy import AuthClient, APIClient

# Create clients
auth_client = AuthClient()
api_client = APIClient(auth_client=auth_client)

# Login
auth_client.login("[e-mail]", "your_password")

# Get today's training readiness
readiness = api_client.metrics.get('training_readiness').get()
print(f"Training Readiness Score: {readiness[0].score}/100")

# Get sleep data for specific date
sleep_data = api_client.metrics.get('sleep').get('2023-12-01')
print(f"Sleep Score: {sleep_data[0].overall_sleep_score}")

Local Database & CLI Tools

# Sync recent health data to local database
garmy-sync sync --last-days 7

# Check sync status
garmy-sync status

# Start MCP server for AI assistants
garmy-mcp server --database health.db

# Show database info
garmy-mcp info --database health.db

# Get configuration examples
garmy-mcp config

AI Assistant Integration (Claude Desktop)

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/.claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmy-localdb": {
      "command": "garmy-mcp",
      "args": ["server", "--database", "/path/to/health.db", "--max-rows", "500"]
    }
  }
}

Now ask Claude: "What health data do I have available? Analyze my sleep patterns over the last month."

📊 Available Health Metrics

Garmy provides access to a comprehensive set of Garmin Connect metrics:

Metric	Description	Example Usage
sleep	Sleep tracking data including stages and scores	api_client.metrics.get('sleep').get()
heart_rate	Daily heart rate statistics	api_client.metrics.get('heart_rate').get()
stress	Stress level measurements	api_client.metrics.get('stress').get()
steps	Daily step counts and goals	api_client.metrics.get('steps').list(days=7)
training_readiness	Training readiness scores and factors	api_client.metrics.get('training_readiness').get()
body_battery	Body battery energy levels	api_client.metrics.get('body_battery').get()
activities	Activity summaries and details	api_client.metrics.get('activities').list(days=30)

🎯 Use Cases

For AI Developers

# Build AI health monitoring agents
from garmy import APIClient, AuthClient

def health_agent():
    auth_client = AuthClient()
    api_client = APIClient(auth_client=auth_client)
    
    # Login and get metrics
    auth_client.login(email, password)
    sleep_data = api_client.metrics.get('sleep').get()
    readiness_data = api_client.metrics.get('training_readiness').get()
    
    # AI analysis logic here
    return analyze_health_trends(sleep_data, readiness_data)

For Data Analysts

# Local database analysis workflow
garmy-sync sync --last-days 90  # Sync 3 months of data
garmy-mcp server --database health.db  # Start MCP server
# Use Claude Desktop or Python to analyze trends, correlations, patterns

For Health Researchers

# Large-scale health data collection
from garmy.localdb import SyncManager

sync_manager = SyncManager(db_path="research_data.db")
sync_manager.initialize(email, password)

# Collect comprehensive health dataset
stats = sync_manager.sync_range(
    user_id=1,
    start_date=date(2023, 1, 1),
    end_date=date.today(),
    metrics=[MetricType.SLEEP, MetricType.HRV, MetricType.STRESS]
)

🛡️ Security & Privacy

• 🔒 Local Data: All health data stored locally in SQLite
• 🔐 Read-Only MCP: AI assistants have read-only database access
• 🛡️ Query Validation: SQL injection prevention and query limits
• 🔑 Secure Auth: OAuth token management with automatic refresh
• 🚫 No Data Sharing: Health data never leaves your local environment
