What is the Strava Training MCP Server?
The Strava Training MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Strava Training via 12 tools. Analyze Strava activities, segments, streams (HR, power, GPS), zones, laps, and athlete stats. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (12)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Strava Training
Ask your AI agent "Show my athlete statistics." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 12 tools connected to real Strava Training data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Strava Training MCP Server capabilities
12 toolsThe activityId is the numeric ID from Strava activity URLs (e.g., strava.com/activities/12345678 → 12345678). Use this for deep analysis of any workout, ride, or run. Get detailed information about a specific Strava activity
Each lap includes distance, moving time, average speed, elevation gain, and pace. GPS devices and Strava auto-split activities into laps (typically ~1km or ~1mi). Use this to analyze pace consistency, identify fast/slow sections, and compare splits within a single activity. Get lap/split data for a Strava activity
The "types" parameter is comma-separated stream types: "time", "distance", "latlng", "altitude", "velocity_smooth", "heartrate", "cadence", "watts", "temp", "moving", "grade_smooth". Example: "heartrate,watts,velocity_smooth" for HR, power, and speed data. Each stream returns an array of values with corresponding timestamps. Use this for detailed performance analysis, visualization, or export. Get raw time-series data streams from a Strava activity (GPS, heart rate, power, cadence, altitude, speed, etc)
Requires activity ID. This data helps understand training intensity and whether the workout targeted the correct zones. Only available for activities with heart rate or power data. Summit/subscription feature. Get heart rate and power zone distribution for a Strava activity
Use the athlete's Strava numeric ID. Returns recent_run_totals, recent_ride_totals, all_run_totals, all_ride_totals. Great for performance overview and progress tracking. Get consolidated activity statistics for any Strava athlete
Requires profile:read_all scope. Use this to understand training zones for zone-based analysis of activities and efforts. Get the authenticated athlete's custom heart rate and power zones
The gear ID is found in activity data or athlete profile. Use this to track equipment mileage, plan maintenance, or analyze performance with specific gear. Get details about a piece of equipment (bike, shoes) tracked in Strava
The segment ID is found in Strava segment URLs. Use this to discover segment characteristics before attempting it or to compare segments. Get details of a Strava segment including distance, elevation, grade, and leaderboards
Includes elapsed time, distance, average speed, heart rate, power, start date, and activity reference. The effort ID is found in segment effort listings or activity details. Use this to analyze specific KOM/QOM attempts and compare efforts on the same segment. Get details of a specific segment effort (KOM/QOM/PR attempt)
Same format as activity streams but limited to the segment portion. The "types" parameter is comma-separated: "time", "distance", "latlng", "altitude", "velocity_smooth", "heartrate", "cadence", "watts". Use this for granular analysis of segment performance. Get time-series data streams for a specific segment effort
Useful for previewing a segment's difficulty profile before attempting it. The "types" parameter accepts "distance", "altitude", "grade_smooth". Use this to understand elevation changes and steepness patterns along a segment. Get time-series data streams for a Strava segment (elevation profile, grade, etc)
Filter by athlete_id (required), optionally segment_id to get efforts on a specific segment, and date range with start_date_local and end_date_local (ISO 8601 format). Use this to find PRs, analyze progress on segments over time, or compare multiple efforts on the same segment. List all segment efforts for an athlete, optionally filtered by segment and date range

Frequently asked questions about the Strava Training MCP Server
What data streams are available for activities?
Available streams include: time, distance, latlng (GPS coordinates), altitude, velocity_smooth (speed), heartrate, cadence, watts (power), temp (temperature), moving (moving flag), and grade_smooth (incline %). Request specific streams with comma-separated types, e.g., "heartrate,watts,velocity_smooth". Not all streams are available for every activity — it depends on the recording device.
What are activity zones and how are they calculated?
Activity zones show the time spent in each heart rate zone (Z1-Z5) or power zone during an activity. Zones are based on the athlete's personal zone configuration (set in Strava settings). Zone analysis reveals training intensity — whether a workout was aerobic (Z1-Z2), threshold (Z3), or anaerobic (Z4-Z5). This data requires a heart rate monitor or power meter.
How do I find my athlete ID on Strava?
Your athlete ID is the numeric portion of your Strava profile URL. For example, from https://www.strava.com/athletes/12345678, your athlete ID is 12345678. You can also get it from the get_athlete tool in the Strava Planning or Strava Social MCP servers.
