Learn how to connect Strava to Windsurf 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.

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
