Setup

Install the required packages on a new environment:

Create a .env file in the project root with your Garmin credentials:

GARMIN_EMAIL=your.email@example.com

Running the Server

With Claude Desktop

Create a configuration in Claude Desktop:

Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmin": {
      "command": "python", // if you created a new environment this should be "<root_folder>/.venv/bin/python"
      "args": ["<path to>/garmin_mcp/garmin_mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with the absolute path to your server file.

Restart Claude Desktop

With MCP Inspector

For testing, you can use the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python /Users/adomingues/Documents/claude_filesystem/garmin_mcp/garmin_mcp_server.py

Usage Examples

Once connected in Claude, you can ask questions like:

"Show me my recent activities"
"What was my sleep like last night?"
"How many steps did I take yesterday?"
"Show me the details of my latest run"

Security Note

This server requires your Garmin Connect credentials in the .env file. Keep this file secure and never commit it to a repository.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter login issues:

Verify your credentials in the .env file are correct
Check if Garmin Connect requires additional verification
Ensure the garminconnect package is up to date
