Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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",
        "@hannta/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 @hannta/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",
        "@hannta/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",
        "@hannta/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.

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 (1.1.1) reached the registry 3 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

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Garmin. Garmin and Garmin Connect are trademarks of

Garmin Ltd.

A read-only MCP server that gives AI assistants your own Garmin Connect training, recovery and health data through the official Garmin Connect Personal API. Run it on your own computer, or host it on your own Cloudflare account to use it from anywhere.

AI agents: to set this up for a user, follow docs/AGENT-SETUP.md.

Setup

You need a Garmin Connect Personal API key, which you create in Garmin Connect on the web.

Run locally

The quickest way, for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and other clients that run local servers. Needs Node.js 22+.

Paste this into your coding agent:

Connect @hannta/garmin-connect-personal-api-mcp

Or do it yourself: docs/LOCAL.md.

Host on Cloudflare

For Claude on the web and on mobile, and any other client that connects to remote servers with OAuth. The free plan is enough, apart from one known limitation.

One click:

Manual: follow docs/DEPLOY.md.

Then connect your MCP client, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code.

Good to know

Range tools default to the last 7 days. If a range is too long for one Garmin request, the error says the maximum and the assistant splits it into several calls.
Output is metric, with the unit in every field name. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD in your time zone; sleep and HRV are keyed by the wake-up date.
Location, sexual activity and sex drive data are never returned.
Known limitation: garmin_get_activity_laps can fail on long activities on the Cloudflare free plan. See Known limitations.

Development

Requires Node.js 24+.

npm install

cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars # then add GARMIN_API_KEY and OWNER_PASSPHRASE npm run check # typecheck, lint, format check, tests npm run today # print today's recovery data using your key npm run dev # MCP server at http://localhost:8787/mcp npm run build # local server in dist/cli.mjs

To try the local server, connect the MCP Inspector to it and sign in with OWNER_PASSPHRASE.
