Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Exercise API MCP: 1,900+ exercises with video, workout generator, supplements, dev tools.

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.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Clinics & health
  • You need to fill in: WORKOUTX_API_KEY, X-WorkoutX-Key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 23 things (tools) list_exercise_filters, search_exercises, get_exercise, get_exercise_media …
  • You fill in yourself: WORKOUTX_API_KEY, X-WorkoutX-Key

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

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • 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 …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workoutx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],
      "env": {
        "WORKOUTX_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http workoutx https://api.workoutxapp.com/mcp --header 'X-WorkoutX-Key: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add workoutx --env WORKOUTX_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y workoutx-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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_exercise_filters

    Every valid value (with counts) for body parts, target muscles, equipment, categories and muscles. Call this before search_exercises when unsure of a value.

  • search_exercises

    Search 1,900+ exercises. Filters are optional and case-insensitive; combining two or more filters needs the Starter plan or higher. Results include instructions, tips, muscles, equipment, difficulty, calories and signed MP4/thumbnail links.

  • get_exercise

    One exercise by v2 id: instructions, tips, muscles, equipment, sets/reps guidance, calories and signed media links.

  • get_exercise_media

    Fresh signed MP4 and thumbnail links for one exercise (links expire; call again rather than storing them).

  • find_exercise_alternatives

    Ranked swaps that train the same muscles, e.g. when equipment is missing. Optionally require or exclude equipment.

  • find_similar_exercises

    Exercises most similar to the given one (same pattern, muscles and equipment), ranked by score.

  • estimate_calories

    Calories burned for an exercise from its MET value, body weight and duration.

  • map_v1_exercise

    Find the v2 exercise for an old v1 id (e.g. "0025"), with the match quality: exact, equivalent, alternative, closest or none.

  • generate_workout

    One complete session built from movement patterns: warm-up, main work with sets/reps/rest, cool-down and swap suggestions. Needs the Growth plan or higher.

  • generate_program

    A multi-week program with periodisation, deloads and weekly volume targets. Needs the Scale plan.

  • search_supplements

    Supplements with evidence ratings, dosage and timing. Filter by category, goal, timing, evidence or free text. Needs the Growth plan or higher.

  • get_supplement_stack

    A recommended stack for a goal with dosages and timing. Needs the Scale plan.

  • export_exercise_seed

    Exercise ids, names, muscles and equipment without media, as JSON or CSV, to seed your own database or fixtures. Does not use the distinct-exercise media limit. Page with offset; plan caps per call apply (Free 10, Starter 100, others 200).

  • get_usage_stats

    Your account's API usage: requests, success rate, response times (avg and p95), errors by status code, top endpoints, daily counts, live quota, rate limit and media-limit usage. Use it to answer "why am I getting 429s?" or "when will my quota run out?". Uses one request.

  • get_trending_exercises

    The exercises and filters (body parts, muscles, equipment, categories) requested most across WorkoutX apps in the last 30 days. Anonymised: only values at least 3 different accounts asked for, filters as shares. Good for deciding what to feature in an app. Uses one request.

  • get_endpoint_reference

    Parameters, response shape, errors and a curl example for any v2 endpoint, straight from the OpenAPI spec. Call with no endpoint to list them all. Uses one request.

  • generate_types

    Ready-to-paste TypeScript, Swift (Codable), Kotlin (kotlinx.serialization) or Dart models for v2 responses, generated from the OpenAPI spec. Uses one request.

  • get_code_example

    A working snippet for a platform and task: listing and paging exercises, playing the looping MP4 and refreshing its signed link, the workout generator, error and rate-limit handling, or a backend proxy that keeps your key off the device. Uses one request.

  • get_body_scan_integration

    How to add the WorkoutX Body Scan API to an app: endpoint, auth, fields, response shape, errors and ready-to-paste code. It returns docs only and never takes a photo: your app sends photos straight to the Body Scan API.

  • get_body_scan_sample_response

    A realistic sample of any Body Scan API response, so you can build and test the UI without spending scan credits. Covers success, an unreliable photo, errors and progress results.

  • estimate_body_fat

    Body fat estimates from published equations using tape measurements: Relative Fat Mass (height, waist), U.S. Navy (adds neck, plus hip for women) and Deurenberg (adds weight, age). For adults and general wellness only, not medical advice. No photo needed.

  • diagnose_request

    Paste a failing WorkoutX request (curl, URL or "GET /v2/...") and optionally the status and response body: explains what is wrong (wrong host, key in the URL, missing header, unknown or repeated parameter, invalid value, v1 id, plan gate, rate limit, quota, expired media link) an

  • check_api_key

    Confirm the configured API key works and show the plan and remaining quota. Uses one request.

Common questions

Is WorkoutX Exercise API 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?

You need to fill in: WORKOUTX_API_KEY, X-WorkoutX-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.1.0) reached the registry 10 days ago.

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: Mirobody, FHIR MCP Server, Google Health MCP

WorkoutX MCP Server — Exercise & Fitness API for AI Agents

*"Add a workout screen to the app using a 45-minute dumbbell chest session from WorkoutX."*

*"Generate Swift models for exercises and workouts."*

*"Why are we getting 429s since yesterday?"*

  • Hosted endpoint: https://api.workoutxapp.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) — nothing to run
  • Auth: your WorkoutX API key in the X-WorkoutX-Key header (or Authorization: Bearer)
  • Free plan: 500 requests, no credit card — get a key
  • Every tool call counts as one API request, with the same plan limits as the REST API
  • Docs and setup guide: [workoutxapp.com/mcp.html](https://workoutxapp.com/mcp.html)
