WHAT IT CONNECTS

What MCP Strava Server gives an AI Agent

The source catalog does not include a structured feature list. Review the repository documentation before use.

SECURITY

An MCP listing is not a security review

An MCP server may receive model context, credentials, local files, or permission to call external systems. Review its code, requested environment variables, network behavior, package provenance, and maintenance status before connecting it to an agent.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/MariyaFilippova/mcp-strava.git
cd mcp-strava

2. Configure Strava API Credentials

Get your credentials from Strava API settings.

Create/edit src/main/resources/.env:

CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"

3. Build the Project

./gradlew shadowJar

The JAR will be at: build/libs/strava-mcp-server-2.1.0-all.jar

4. Configure Claude for Desktop

Edit Claude's configuration file:

# macOS
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Windows
code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-strava/build/libs/strava-mcp-server-2.1.0-all.jar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude for Desktop.

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

"Show me my recent Strava activities"
"What are my all-time running stats?"
"Compare my January 2025 with January 2026"
"Give me a summary of my cycling this week"
"How did my training this month compare to last month?"
"Show me the lap splits for activity 123456789"
"Analyze the heart rate and elevation data for my last run"
"Find all my activities from March 2025"
"Suggest a 5km running route starting from Central Park, NYC"
"Generate a 10km cycling route from 48.8566, 2.3522"
"Find popular running segments near Central Park, NYC"
"Show me popular cycling routes within 10km of Paris"

Authentication

On first use, the server will open your browser for Strava authorization. Tokens are persisted to ~/.strava-mcp-token.json and automatically refreshed when expired.

Use the logout tool to clear stored tokens if you need to switch accounts.
