Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 31 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Manually compiling training data takes forever.

Right now, getting a full picture of your athletic performance means opening the app, navigating to 'Segments,' then finding the segment, and finally manually reading off the best time. If you want to compare that against other metrics—say, your average heart rate for that same climb—you're copy-pasting across three different screens.

With this MCP server, you just ask it: 'What was my average heart rate zone while I hit that segment?' It runs the necessary tools (`get_segment` and `get_activity_zones`) and gives you a single, actionable answer without leaving your chat.

Strava Alternative MCP Server gets raw data streams.

Before this server, exporting routes meant dealing with limited file formats or losing critical time-series data points. You couldn't get the high-resolution power output stream correlated directly to the segment effort details needed for advanced modeling.

Now you can ask for `get_segment_effort_streams` and pull a massive chunk of raw, structured data. It's clean, it's ready for Python, and it doesn't require any manual file conversion.

What your AI can actually do with this

You connect this server to your AI agent and treat every single run, ride, and segment you've done like pure data. You don't gotta dig through dashboards or mess with a mobile app; your agent pulls exactly what you need from your training history.

Analyzing Your Performance Metrics

You can pull detailed profile stats using get_athlete_stats to get an overview of your performance and profile details. For specific zone analysis, you've got get_activity_zones, which pulls the exact heart rate or power zones recorded during one activity. You can also check out your personal definition of zones with get_athlete_zones.

If you wanna keep basic tabs on yourself, get_authenticated_athlete grabs core details about the account linked to the server. To manage your profile info itself, use update_athlete; it lets you update basic details for your authenticated athlete account.

Managing Activities and Laps

To start analyzing, you'll first need a list of activities; list_athlete_activities shows you recent sessions so you can pick one up. Once you select an activity ID, get_activity pulls the main details for that specific session. If you want to change something about it—maybe fix a title or update the description—you use update_activity.

For deep-dive data, get_activity_streams fetches raw, high-resolution data streams for the entire activity session. Need to know exactly how often you stopped? list_activity_laps gives you a detailed list of measured laps from any recorded run or ride.

Community engagement is right there too. You can use list_activity_comments to see every comment someone left on an activity, and list_activity_kudos tells you which usernames gave kudos to it. You'll also find that if your agent needs to analyze the raw data for a whole route path, get_activity_streams does the heavy lifting.

Exploring Routes, Segments, and Efforts

Finding specific parts of your training is key. To search for segments based on where you are, use explore_segments, passing in geographic boundaries (bounds) to narrow down results. Once you find a segment, get_segment gives you all the detailed info about it (like 'Main Street Climb'). You can also check out every recorded effort made by any athlete on that segment using list_segment_efforts.

If you want raw data streams for a specific segment's effort over time, use get_segment_effort_streams; for general performance tracking on any segment, run get_segment_streams. To get the core details of a full route—the start/end points and distance—use get_route. You can also list all saved routes associated with you using list_athlete_routes, or if you've got favorites, list_starred_segments pulls that list.

Remember, you can mark or unmark any segment as a favorite using star_segment. When it comes to exporting data, you've got two options: export_route_gpx exports the route data in GPX format, and export_route_tcx does the same thing but uses TCX. If you need raw data streams for an entire route path—not just a segment—run get_route_streams.

Tracking Clubs and Community Data

For connecting with your crew, you can list all clubs you belong to using list_athlete_clubs. From there, get_club pulls detailed information for any specific club. If you wanna see the whole squad, use list_club_members to get a full roster of people in that club. You can also find who runs things with list_club_admins, or see all activities posted by members using list_club_activities.

You'll even get a list of all activities posted by other members within a specific club using list_club_activities.

Questions you might have

How do I get my heart rate zones using the Strava Alternative MCP Server? +

Use get_athlete_zones to retrieve your defined personal heart rate and power zones. This tells you what Z1, Z2, etc., means for you, not just generic guidelines.

Can I list all my activities with the Strava Alternative MCP Server? +

Yes. You can use list_athlete_activities to fetch a roster of your recent sessions, and then follow up by using get_activity on any specific ID.

Does export_route_gpx include all the data? +

It exports the route path in GPX format. If you need performance metrics (like heart rate) tied to that route, use get_route_streams instead.

How do I check my club members using Strava Alternative MCP Server? +

First, get the club details with get_club, then run list_club_members. This gives you a roster of everyone in that group.

How do I use the `update_activity` tool if I need to correct details? +

You can modify activity metadata using this tool. You'll pass the activity ID, and then provide new values for fields like the name or description. This is useful when you record a workout manually but need to adjust the recorded notes later.

What kind of performance data do I get from `get_segment_effort`? +

The tool retrieves detailed metrics for how hard you worked on a specific segment. It goes beyond simple averages by providing effort streams and lap details, helping you pinpoint exactly where you lost time or burned maximum energy.

How do I check the authenticated athlete using `get_authenticated_athlete`? +

This tool confirms who the data belongs to. It pulls basic profile information for the currently connected user, ensuring that any analysis or listing you perform is tied directly back to your correct account identity.

Can I use `list_athlete_routes` to see my saved paths? +

Yes, this lists all known and completed routes associated with the athlete. You get a catalog of route outlines—distinct from individual activities—which you can then export using tools like export_route_gpx.

Can I see my heart rate and power zones using this integration? +

Yes! You can use the get_athlete_zones tool to retrieve your configured heart rate and power zones directly from your Strava profile.

Is it possible to update the name or description of an existing activity? +

Absolutely. Use the update_activity tool by providing the Activity ID. You can modify the name, sport type, description, and even toggle commute or trainer status.

How can I check my all-time running or cycling statistics? +

You can use the get_athlete_stats tool with your Athlete ID to get a comprehensive breakdown of your totals, including distance, moving time, and elevation gain for all sports.
