PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmin-connect-personal-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add garmin-connect-personal-api --env GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmin-connect-personal-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "garmin-connect-personal-api": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY secret env
    Garmin Connect Personal API key from connect.garmin.com/app/settings/personalApiToken. Optional if the key is saved in ~/.config/garmin/connect-personal-api-key.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Garmin Connect Personal API safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Garmin Connect Personal API MCP Server

Unofficial. This is a community project. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin.

An MCP server that lets Claude and other AI assistants read your Garmin Connect data through Garmin's official Personal API. Ask questions such as:

  • "How has my sleep been this week compared with last week?"
  • "Is my HRV trending up or down this month?"
  • "Summarize my last five runs."
  • "On days I slept less than 6 hours, what was my stress like?"

It's built on garmin-connect-personal-api-js and is read-only: it can't change anything in your account.

Setup

  1. Create a Personal API key on Garmin Connect.
  2. Add the server to your AI client, as shown below, with the key in GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY. You need Node.js 20.4 or newer.
Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add:

{

"mcpServers": { "garmin": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp"], "env": { "GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY": "your-personal-api-key" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop afterward.

Claude Code
claude mcp add garmin --env GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY=your-personal-api-key -- npx -y garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp
Other MCP clients

Run npx -y garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp as a stdio server with GARMIN_PERSONAL_API_KEY set.

Keeping the key out of client config

Instead of the environment variable, you can save the key in ~/.config/garmin/connect-personal-api-key (on Windows, %USERPROFILE%\.config\garmin\connect-personal-api-key) and leave env out of the configuration. This is the same key file the gc-personal CLI uses.

How it works

The server exchanges your API key for a bearer token and caches it in ~/.config/garmin/connect-personal-api-bearer-token.json, shared with the gc-personal CLI. Tokens are renewed before they expire, and a rejected token is replaced automatically.

Your data goes from Garmin to the AI client you connect, so it's subject to that client's privacy terms.
