Overview

Strava MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the Strava API, allowing language models to query athlete activities data from Strava.

To use the Strava MCP Server, you need to authenticate with the Strava API by creating an application, obtaining your Client ID and Client Secret, and setting up your environment variables. You can then run the server locally and connect it to your application.

  • Access to recent athlete activities through various queries. - Consistent data format for activity information. - Human-readable error messages for common issues.
  1. Querying recent activities of an athlete.
  2. Retrieving activities within a specific date range.
  3. Getting detailed information about specific activities.

Cursor

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

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

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

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

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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