Strava
by Strava
Query your own Strava training history from an AI agent. Anthropic lists 8 tools; Strava publishes no tool list. Read-only by design — the OAuth grant carries five scopes and not one of them can write.
Verified connector
Listed by Anthropic as a partner connector in its Connectors Directory.
Connection checked by Agentman on .
Anthropic states this reflects the level of review a connector received, not a security audit.
Connect Strava via MCP
https://mcp.strava.com/mcpWorks in any MCP-compatible client. In Agentman Studio it is one click — no config file to edit.
Strava Tools & Capabilities (8)
Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- Subscriber-only, and still rolling out. Strava gates the MCP behind a paid subscription and began a gradual rollout on 1 June 2026. Its documented way to check eligibility is the MCP settings page on strava.com, which is behind a login.
- Claude only. Strava says it launched with Anthropic and hopes to support other AI clients later. There is no documented path to another client today.
- Strava publishes no tool list. The eight names come from Anthropic's directory snapshot of 2026-08-16. Neither MCP help article nor the developer documentation names a single tool, so the count could not be diffed against a vendor enumeration.
- We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter-level detail is published here — including whether
get_club_infotakes an arbitrary club identifier or only ones you belong to. - Your Strava privacy settings do not narrow this grant.
activity:read_allandprofile:read_allreach privacy zone data, Only You activities and a Followers-restricted profile. There is no partial consent: the five scopes are offered as one set. - Rate limits apply. Strava's help centre states there is a limit on requests per minute and per day. Its published API limits are per application — 200 requests per 15 minutes and 2,000 per day by default — but Strava does not publish the MCP server's own figures, so we could not establish what the connector's ceiling actually is.
- Answers may not match the Strava app. Strava states directly that AI clients process information their own way and may produce insights differing from what the app shows, naming Performance Predictions and Runna training plans. Verify anything you act on.
- Functional scope is bounded, by Strava's own account. It lists activity history, fitness trends, readiness, goal planning, cross-sport and gear as the current uses, with more promised. Segments and routes appear in the API but not in that list or in the eight tool names.
- Both help-centre URLs in Anthropic's directory are stale. The listed documentation URL
support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/46190267796237and the listed support URL both use an older/hc/scheme and 301-redirect to different article IDs. They resolve, so nothing is broken, but a page citing the directory's URLs as canonical would be citing redirects.
Frequently asked questions
No. Strava's help centre states plainly that the MCP is read-only and cannot upload or edit activities. The OAuth grant enforces it rather than merely promising it: the five scopes the server requests are all read scopes, and Strava's two write scopes, activity:write and profile:write, are absent from the set entirely.
Yes, and precisely. Strava's launch announcement names GPS data for geographic analysis and full per-second stream data among what the connector reaches. The API's latlng stream is documented as the sequence of lat/long values for an activity, so a route you rode is available to the agent as coordinates, not as a summary.
Yes, if you grant the broadest scope. Strava documents activity:read_all as the same access as activity:read, plus privacy zone data and access to activities set to Only You. The connector requests that scope. So the home and workplace areas Strava hides from other athletes are not hidden from the agent.
Yes. Strava's help centre states only subscribers have access, included with a Strava subscription, the Strava and Runna bundle, Family Plan, Student Plan, and the Military, Educator and Medical discounts. Rollout began 1 June 2026 and is gradual, so an eligible subscriber may still not see the connector yet.
One tool reaches beyond your own account. get_club_info reads a club, and Strava's club endpoints return member lists, administrators and a feed of recent activities by other members. Strava documents that the athlete must belong to the club and that each member's own profile visibility is respected, so it is not a bypass.
Anthropic's directory lists eight. Strava publishes no tool list of its own on either of its two MCP help articles or its developer site, so there is no vendor enumeration to check that eight against. Treat it as the directory's count on 2026-08-16 rather than as a figure Strava has confirmed.
From Strava, not only from Claude. Strava's help centre directs you to hover your profile image on strava.com, open Settings, then My Apps, and click Revoke Access for Claude. Disconnecting inside Claude under Customize then Connectors removes the connector there but Strava treats its own revocation as authoritative.
Claude only, at launch. Strava states it is launching with Anthropic and looking to support other clients in future, and its API FAQ gives the reason: it believes Anthropic will honour terms not to train on athlete data without consent. Strava's developer FAQ separately says apps exposing athlete data to third-party AI tools will not be approved.
