- Route Export — Export routes to GPX and TCX formats for GPS devices (Garmin, Wahoo, etc.)
- Manual Activity Creation — Log activities not recorded by Strava (gym, yoga, cross-training) with full details
- Activity Updates — Edit activity names, descriptions, assign gear, mark commutes or indoor sessions
- File Uploads — Upload FIT, TCX, or GPX files for processing by Strava with status tracking
- Segment Management — Star (favorite) or unstar segments for quick training access
- Athlete Profile — View and update your profile information including weight for accurate power-to-weight ratios
- Athlete Zones — Review your heart rate and power zone configurations
- Gear Details — Track equipment mileage, models, and primary gear assignments
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Strava Access Token (OAuth2)
- Start planning routes and managing training data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Route Planners — create, review, and export training routes to GPS devices for guided workouts
- Multi-Sport Athletes — log non-GPS activities (gym, pool, yoga) alongside Strava-tracked workouts
- Equipment Managers — track bike and shoe mileage for maintenance planning and rotation
- Data Exporters — export route data in GPX/TCX formats for use with other platforms and devices
Built-in capabilities (14)
Required: name (activity name), type (activity type like "Run", "Ride", "Swim", "Walk", "Hike"), startDate (ISO 8601 format), elapsedTime (seconds). Optional: description, distance (meters). Use this to log activities recorded outside of Strava (gym workouts, yoga, cross-training, etc.). Activity types must match Strava's valid types list. Create a manual activity in Strava
GPX files can be downloaded and loaded onto GPS devices (Garmin, Wahoo, etc.) for navigation. The routeId is from Strava route URLs. Use this to export routes to your GPS device for guided training. Get the GPX export URL for a Strava route
TCX files include route data with additional training metadata. Compatible with Garmin Training Center and other fitness platforms. Use this to export routes with training metadata. Get the TCX export URL for a Strava route
Use this to review personal profile details, check equipment assignments, or verify account settings. Get the authenticated athlete's profile information
Required for zone-based training analysis. Use this to review training zones, ensure zones are correctly set, or use zone data for activity analysis. Get the athlete's custom heart rate and power zones
The gearId is found in activity data or athlete profile. Use this to check equipment mileage for maintenance planning or to analyze performance with specific gear. Get details about a piece of equipment (bike, shoes) tracked in Strava
The routeId is found in Strava route URLs. Use this to review route characteristics before training or to plan similar routes. Get detailed information about a specific Strava route
The "types" parameter is comma-separated: "latlng", "altitude", "distance". Use this to preview a route's elevation profile, understand the terrain, or export GPS data for navigation. Get elevation and GPS data streams for a Strava route
Status values: "Your activity is ready" (success), "Your activity is still processing" (wait and retry), or error messages. The uploadId is returned by upload_activity. Poll this endpoint every 5-10 seconds after upload until ready. Check the status of a Strava activity upload
Each route includes: name, distance, elevation gain, type (ride/run), description, and whether it's private. Use this to review saved routes, plan upcoming workouts, or export route data for GPS devices. List all routes created by the authenticated athlete
Set starred=true to favorite, starred=false to unfavorite. The segmentId is from Strava segment URLs. Use this to manage your favorite segments for quick access and training focus. Star (favorite) or unstar a Strava segment
The activityId is the numeric ID. Updatable fields: name, description, sport_type, gear_id (to assign equipment), commute (mark as commute: "true"/"false"), trainer (mark as indoor: "true"/"false"). Use this to correct activity details, assign gear, or add descriptions after the fact. Update an existing Strava activity
Currently only "weight" (in kg) is supported by the API. Accurate weight is important for power-to-weight ratio calculations and performance analysis. Use this when your weight changes to keep performance metrics accurate. Update the authenticated athlete's profile information
Supported data_type: "fit", "fit.gz", "tcx", "tcx.gz", "gpx", "gpx.gz". Returns an upload ID to check status with get_upload_status. Note: Actual file upload requires multipart/form-data with the file content. This endpoint initiates the process. Check upload status periodically — processing takes 10-60 seconds. Upload an activity file (FIT, TCX, GPX) to Strava for processing

Frequently asked questions
How do I export a route to my GPS device?
First, use list_routes to find your route ID. Then use export_route_gpx or export_route_tcx with that route ID. The GPX file can be downloaded and loaded onto Garmin, Wahoo, or other GPS devices for turn-by-turn navigation during your workout.
Can I log activities that Strava doesn't automatically track?
Yes! Use create_activity to manually log any workout — gym sessions, yoga, swimming, hiking, cross-training. Provide the name, type (e.g., "Workout", "Yoga", "Swim"), start date, elapsed time, and optionally distance and description. This keeps all your training in one place.
How do I track my bike and shoe mileage?
Use get_gear with the gear ID to see total accumulated distance. Gear IDs are found in your athlete profile or assigned to activities. You can assign gear to activities using update_activity with the gear_id parameter. Track mileage to know when to replace chains, tires, or running shoes.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
Command not found: claude
