## Setup
### Dependencies
- Claude Desktop
- `uv`
- A Stava account with a develop app setup
### Connecting to Strava
Once you have an [app setup](https://www.strava.com/settings/api) on your Strava profile and you've cloned this repository, create an `.env` file at the root with the following contents:
```bash
STRAVA_CLIENT_ID=<fill-me-in>
STRAVA_CLIENT_SECRET=<fill-me-in>
STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN=<fill-me-in>

```
### Connecting the MCP to Claude
You can add the server to your Claude config by running the following:
```bash
uv run mcp install main.py
```
If you make changes to the server, you will need to restart your Claude desktop client.
Once installed, you should see a hammer icon at the bottom of the text box on your Claude app. If you click on it, it should show the following:
## Running
Now the server is added, Claude should be able to use it.
Try: "tell me about my latest activity".
