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.

WHOOP + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating WHOOP MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
