How do I get WHOOP API credentials?

Visit [**developer.whoop.com**](https://developer.whoop.com/), create an app to get a Client ID and Client Secret. Then complete the OAuth2 flow to obtain an Access Token. All three are required for API access.

What is a WHOOP cycle?

A WHOOP cycle represents a 24-hour period combining your sleep, strain and recovery data. Each cycle starts when you wake up and includes the previous night's sleep, the day's strain, and your recovery score for the next day.

How much historical data can I access?

You can access all historical data recorded by your WHOOP device. Use the start and end date parameters (ISO 8601 format) to filter results. Pagination returns up to 25 records per request; use the nextToken to retrieve more.

Does the API include heart rate data?

Yes! Heart rate data (average and max) is included in the cycle, workout and recovery responses. There's no dedicated heart rate endpoint, but the data is nested within these resources.

About WHOOP MCP Server

Connect your WHOOP account to any AI agent and access your personal health data through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns WHOOP into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from WHOOP and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Profile — View your WHOOP profile and body measurements (height, weight, max HR)
Cycles — Browse your 24-hour WHOOP cycles combining sleep, strain and recovery
Sleep — Analyze sleep data with stages (light, deep, REM), duration and performance
Recovery — Track recovery scores, HRV, resting heart rate and sleep balance
Workouts — Review workout data with strain, heart rate zones, duration and calories
Pagination — Navigate through historical data with date ranges and pagination tokens

The WHOOP MCP Server exposes 11 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the WHOOP MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with WHOOP through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP — no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

WHOOP + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the WHOOP MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

WHOOP + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating WHOOP MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design — tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
