## Description

If you train using different measurement systems, you shouldn't have to manually calculate pace conversions. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to handle running math accurately. You can swap between metric and imperial units without pulling out a calculator or searching for a conversion table. Whether you're looking at a training plan in minutes per kilometer or checking your splits in minutes per mile, your agent can do the heavy lifting. It also includes a validation tool to make sure your pace strings follow the standard MM:SS format, preventing errors in your training logs. It's a specialized tool for runners who want their AI to understand their specific training language.

## Tools

### convert_km_pace_to_mi_pace
This tool converts a running pace from minutes per kilometer to minutes per mile.

### convert_mi_pace_to_km_pace
This tool converts a running pace from minutes per mile to minutes per kilometer.

### get_pace_details
This tool provides both metric and imperial pace formats for a single kilometer pace input.

### validate_pace_format
This tool checks if a pace string matches the required MM:SS format.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my running pace in minutes per mile if my pace is 05:00 per km?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your pace is 08:03 per mile.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Convert 08:00 per mile to km pace.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your pace is 04:58 per km.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me the details for a 06:30 km pace.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a pace of 06:30 per km, your imperial pace is 10:29 per mile.
```

You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform, which then makes the tools available to your Claude client.

**What pace format does the tool require?**
The tool expects paces to be in the MM:SS format.

**Can I get both km and mile paces at the same time?**
Yes, you can use the get_pace_details tool to see both formats for a given kilometer pace.

**Does this MCP work with Cursor?**
Yes, any MCP-compatible client like Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code can use these tools once connected.

**Is there a way to check if my pace input is valid?**
Yes, the validate_pace_format tool checks if your input follows the required MM:SS structure.

**What pace format should I use?**
Please use the MM:SS format (e.g., 05:30) for all pace inputs.

**How accurate are the conversions?**
All conversions are rounded to the nearest whole second for practical running use.

**Can I see both metric and imperial paces at once?**
Yes, you can use the `get_pace_details` tool to receive both formats in a single response.
