Use these steps to connect Strava MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strava-mcp-server-rakeshgangwar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

FAQ

How do I authenticate with the Strava API?

You need to create a Strava API application and obtain a refresh token to authenticate.

What should I do if I encounter authentication errors?

If you face authentication errors, your refresh token may have expired. Run the get-strava-token.js script again to obtain a new one.

How can I troubleshoot server startup issues?

Ensure the path to the server in the MCP settings file is correct and that you've built the server using `npm run build`.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":2556,"uuid":"4299b683-01a6-4f9e-908f-94bfaa092b57","name":"strava-mcp-server","title":"Strava MCP Server","description":"","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3814936?v=4","created_at":"2025-03-13T08:49:00.242Z","updated_at":"2025-03-15T05:43:50.666Z","status":"created","author_name":"rakeshgangwar","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3814936?v=4","tags":"strava,mcp,api,server","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/rakeshgangwar/strava-mcp-server","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":null,"type":null,"metadata":"{\"star\":\"0\",\"license\":\"MIT license\",\"language\":\"JavaScript\",\"is_official\":false,\"latest_commit_time\":\"2025-03-11 18:42:10\"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
