Quick start

1. Create a Strava API app

Go to strava.com/settings/api and create an app.

Set the Authorization Callback Domain to localhost.

Note your Client ID and Client Secret.

2. Run the setup

npx @michaelhutchinson/strava-mcp-server setup

This opens your browser, authorizes with Strava, and gives you the exact command to add the server to Claude Code.

3. Restart Claude Code

Close and reopen Claude Code. You can now ask things like:

• "what are my running stats this year?"
• "show my last 5 activities"
• "get details for activity 12345678"

Example questions

Once set up, you can ask Claude things like:

Stats and records

• "What are my running stats this year?"
• "What's my 5K personal best?"
• "How does my mileage this month compare to last month?"

Activities

• "Show my last 5 runs"
• "What did I run last weekend?"
• "Get the details for my most recent activity"
• "Show my runs from January"

Analysis

• "How was my heart rate during my last long run?"
• "Show my pace splits for activity 12345678"
• "Am I running faster this year compared to last year?"

Segments

• "Show my starred segments"
• "What's my best time on my favourite segment?"

Claude picks the right tools automatically based on your question.
