Bring Activity Tracking
to Google ADK
Learn how to connect Strava to Google ADK and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Strava MCP Server?
Connect your Strava account to any AI agent to automate your athletic performance tracking and activity orchestration. Strava provides a premier platform for athletes to track their progress, and this integration allows you to retrieve activity metadata, monitor athlete statistics, and explore routes through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Activity & Workout Orchestration — List all your athletic activities and retrieve detailed metadata, including distance, heart rate, and elevation programmatically.
- Athlete Performance Monitoring — Access and monitor your athlete statistics and profile metadata to track your progress over time directly from the AI interface.
- Route & Segment Intelligence — List available routes and starred segments to ensure your training paths are always synchronized via natural language.
- Club & Social Insight — Access and monitor the clubs you belong to to maintain a clear overview of your athletic community engagement.
- Data Management — Create and update activities programmatically to ensure your training log is always current and accurate using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Strava Access Token (OAuth2) from your developer settings
3. Start managing your athletic data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts — quickly retrieve recent workout details and monitor performance stats without switching apps.
- Coaches & Trainers — automate the retrieval of athlete activity logs and monitor training progress via natural conversation.
- Data Analysts — streamline the retrieval of workout metadata and monitor segment performance directly within the chat.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Strava in Google ADK
The Strava MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 12 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK 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, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Strava Access Token?
Log in to Strava Developers, create an API application, and you will find your Access Token in the settings. Note that you may need to use the OAuth flow to generate a long-lived or refreshed token.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
