Strava MCP

An MCP server that connects Claude to your Strava data. Get training load analysis, weekly plans, and activity insights — all through conversation.

What it does

• Recent activities — distances, times, heart rates
• Training load analysis — ATL, CTL, TSB metrics with advice (rest or train?)
• Weekly training plan — recommended hours and workout types based on your current form
• Weekly statistics — volume trends over time
