What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • make_plan

    Use this when someone asks for a strength, gym, weightlifting or muscle-building program or workout plan, at a gym or at home. Builds all 26 weeks from Almost Fire's plan engine, the one the app uses: the split for their days, each session's exercises with sets, reps, rest and ef

  • save_plan

    Use this when the person wants to keep, save or start a plan make_plan made, or presses Save on its card. Saves the plan to their Almost Fire account, free: the first time it asks them to sign in, which makes their account. Send the answers make_plan used, so the saved plan is th

  • show_exercise

    Use this when someone asks how to do an exercise, which muscles it works, or what to do instead. Shows it on the body map with its equipment, its cues and swaps that train the same thing. No account needed. Do not use to diagnose pain or to give rehab exercises.

  • get_today

    Use this when the person asks what's on today or how today's session is going, and before logging a set. Reads today's session (or the next one) in their Almost Fire account with every exercise, its target and the sets logged, this week's sessions and training volume, and their f

  • get_schedule

    Use this when the person asks what's coming up this week or next, or what they did on other days. Lists their sessions between two ISO times (from, to), each with its id, day, time and status. Do not use for today's session; use get_today.

  • get_session

    Use this when you need one session in full, by its id from get_today or get_schedule. Reads its exercises (slots) with each target, the exercises each slot allows, and the sets logged. Do not use to list sessions; use get_schedule.

  • log_set

    Use this when the person tells you a set they did. Give the session and slot from get_today or get_session, and the load and reps they said. Never invent a number. loadUnit kg or lb as they said it (label for a machine's own numbers); rir only if they say it. setNumber null logs

  • edit_set

    Use this when the person corrects a set they already logged. Give its setId from get_today or get_session and only the values they change; null keeps the rest. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use to log a new set; use log_set.

  • delete_set

    Use this when the person asks to remove a set they logged by mistake. Give its setId. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use to change a set's numbers; use edit_set.

  • list_alternatives

    Use this when the person wants a different exercise in a session (a busy machine, a sore joint, missing kit). Lists the swaps that train the same movement in that slot and week, best first, by sessionId and slot. Nothing changes; swap with swap_exercise. Do not use to explain how

  • swap_exercise

    Use this when the person asks to swap the exercise in a session. Give the sessionId and slot, and the exerciseKey they chose, or a same-movement one from list_alternatives when they leave it to you. The new exercise brings its own rules, and loads never carry over between exercis

  • update_session

    Use this when the person starts, finishes or skips a session, or says how it felt. status IN_PROGRESS starts it, DONE finishes it and SKIPPED skips it; feeling is 1 to 5; notes and gym as they say. Null leaves a field as it is. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use to move a sessio

  • move_session

    Use this when the person asks to move a session to another day or time. Give its sessionId and the new start and end as ISO times. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use to skip a session; use update_session.

  • log_cardio

    Use this when the person tells you about cardio they did: a run, a ride, the rower, a walk. Record cardio the person did, with the numbers they give: minutes always; distance, heart rate, level, incline, energy and intervals only when given. Never invent them. effort is a talk te

  • record_checkin

    Use this when the person says how they feel before or after training, or tells you about pain or swelling. Record the person’s reported readiness and symptoms. symptoms.pec is pain anywhere (sharp means sharp pain or pulling) and symptoms.knee is swelling anywhere, whatever the b

  • log_weight

    Use this when the person tells you their weight. Give the weight and unit, and when (null is now). Targets follow the smoothed trend, never one reading. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use to set a weight goal.

  • open_camera

    Use this when the person wants to log a meal from a photo but hasn't attached one, or the app can't hand you their photo. Opens the Almost Fire camera in the chat: they take or choose a photo there, Stoke reads each food with its grams and calories, and Log saves it. Do not use w

  • read_meal_photo

    Use this when the person attaches a photo of food they ate or will eat. Reads it as the Almost Fire camera does: a plate or bowl comes back as each food with its grams, calories, macros and how sure the read is; a packet as its label per 100 g; a pot on a kitchen scale as its gra

  • read_meal_photo_upload

    The Almost Fire camera card's photo, read as read_meal_photo reads one. Only the card calls it.

  • search_foods

    Use this when the person tells you a food they ate without a photo, before log_foods. Find the person's own foods before anything else, by name or by kind: the words they used ("protein powder", "milk", "my usual bread"), not a brand you guess. mine is their saved foods that fit,

  • log_foods

    Use this when the person has agreed what they ate and wants it logged. One entry per food: from a photo read (read_meal_photo's logItems, with their corrections), a saved food or recipe by id and grams (from search_foods), or an estimate with a name, serving, quantity and its num

  • delete_food_entry

    Use this when the person asks to remove a food they logged by mistake. Give its entry id from get_nutrition. Comes back with an Undo. Do not use for a food they still ate; log the right amount instead.

  • get_nutrition

    Use this when the person asks what they've eaten or how their calories and protein are going, and before removing a logged food. Reads a day's food (date null is today): every entry with its id, the totals against the day's targets, their usual foods and saved recipes, and the we

  • show_progress_chart

    Use this when the person asks to see their progress on a graph. Draws one of their Progress graphs from their records: lift_max or lift_volume per session for one exercise (key), weekly_volume, body_weight (90 days), cardio_distance, cardio_pace or cardio_heart_rate, daily_kcal o

  • get_progress

    Use this when the person asks how they're progressing, in numbers. Reads their Progress page: training volume by week, bests, each lift's estimated max and trend, sessions done, bodyweight and cardio, as the app shows them. Do not use for a graph; use show_progress_chart.

  • get_weekly_review

    Use this when the person asks how their week went or what changes next week. Reads the Sunday review of a program week (null is the latest): sessions, volume, new bests, the pace, each change Stoke made to next week with its reason, and what was kept and why. Those changes follow

  • undo_review_change

    Use this when the person doesn't want one of the changes the Sunday review made to next week. Give the change's index from get_weekly_review. Next week goes back to the program's target for that change. Do not use for a change they made themselves; use undo.

  • undo

    Use this when the person wants to take back a change made here (a logged set, meal, weigh-in or any other) while its Undo is open. Give the undo.id the change came back with. Do not use for a change they made in the Almost Fire app itself.

Common questions

Is Almost Fire safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.3.1) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Almost Fire for ChatGPT and Claude

Almost Fire makes strength-training plans and runs them with you. Ask for a plan and you get all 26 weeks from the engine the Almost Fire app uses: a split for the days you have, every session's exercises with sets, reps, rest and effort, a lighter week to finish each block, and gentler swaps for a shoulder, back or knee you want to protect. Print it, save it as a PDF or change it in the chat, and look up any exercise on the body map with its cues and swaps. None of that needs an account, and saving the plan to Almost Fire is free: the first time, it makes your account.

With your Almost Fire account you can run the plan from the chat: today's session with each set's target, logging sets, cardio and weigh-ins, logging a meal from a photo with its grams, calories and protein, and your progress graphs and Sunday review. Every change comes back with Undo.

It's for adults who want to get stronger in a gym or at home. Each plan carries stop rules for pain. It isn't medical advice, and it doesn't plan rehab, running or sport-specific training.

Try it

  • "Make me a 3-day strength plan for building muscle." Then "Save it to Almost Fire."
  • "How do I do a Romanian deadlift?"
  • "What's my session today?" (asks you to sign in to Almost Fire the first time)
  • "Log 60 kg for 8 reps on bench."
  • "Log my lunch from a photo."

What's in this folder

PathWhat it is

The skills are instructions only. The plugin runs nothing on your computer: no hooks, scripts or local servers.

What it connects to and sends

The plugin connects to one server, https://strength.almostfire.com/api/mcp, run by Almost Fire.

  • Without an account, a plan request sends the answers you give (days a week, goal, equipment, anything to protect) and an exercise lookup sends the exercise's name. Almost Fire doesn't keep them.
  • With your account, the connector reads and changes only your own Almost Fire account, after you sign in to Almost Fire and allow the app. What you ask for (your plan, sessions, sets, food, weigh-ins and progress, and the meal photos you send) goes to ChatGPT or Claude to answer you. Apple Health numbers never go.
  • Meal photos are read the same way the Almost Fire app reads them.
  • Disconnect Almost Fire in ChatGPT's or Claude's settings at any time.
