How to Use the WHOOP MCP in Cursor

Q: How does WHOOP data flow into Cursor?

When in Agent mode, your code doesn't just reference a variable; it executes an API call through the MCP Server. The real response—like sleep stages or workout GPS coordinates—is injected directly into your function body.

Q: What data types are available for WHOOP and Cursor?

You can pull metrics like strain score, sleep balance, recovery scores, heart rate variability (HRV), and actual GPS coordinates from workouts. It’s pretty detailed stuff.

Q: Can I analyze historical WHOOP workout data in Cursor?

Yes. Use getworkouts to get a list of sessions across a date range, then process the IDs with getworkout. You're working with live, actionable fitness data.

Q: Does using WHOOP and Cursor require specific setup?

You need to set up your project scope (.cursor/mcp.json) or global config file. Then, you just switch on Agent mode in the chat for it to work.

Q: What kind of WHOOP health metrics does this MCP Server touch?

The server covers everything from sleep duration and stages to detailed recovery data, body measurements, and workout logs. It’s a full spectrum of WHOOP tracking.

Write code that uses real WHOOP metrics directly in Cursor by calling the MCP Server.

Live Recovery Score Injection

Need to write a function that checks if a user is ready for intense work? The `get_cycle_recovery` tool pulls real recovery scores, resting heart rate, and HRV. You can inject this live context right into your code. It's perfect for writing conditional logic: 'If WHOOP cycle recovery score < 50, then suggest rest.' This isn't mock data; it’s the API response.

Handling WHOOP Sleep Cycles in Code

Writing a sleep analysis script? Use `get_cycles` to fetch all 24-hour periods within a date range. The resulting JSON structure includes everything: strain, recovery, heart rate, and sleep data. You can then use the cycle IDs to call specialized tools like `get_cycle_sleep`, which isolates just the sleep performance percentage.

GETTING WHOOP Body Measurements

If your code needs current physical metrics, start with `get_body_measurement`. This function provides the necessary data to complement health tracking in your application. Don't forget you can also get profile details by calling `get_profile` first. That verifies authentication and gives you the user ID needed for other endpoints.

Setup guide

Set up WHOOP MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the WHOOP MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent WHOOP transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the WHOOP tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whoop-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
