# Garmin MCP Server
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects to Garmin Connect and exposes your fitness and health data to Claude and other MCP-compatible clients.
## Features
- List recent activities
- Get detailed activity information
- Access health metrics (steps, heart rate, sleep)
- View body composition data
## Setup
1. Install the required packages on a new environment:
```bash
virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. Create a `.env` file in the project root with your Garmin credentials:
```
GARMIN_EMAIL=your.email@example.com
GARMIN_PASSWORD=your-password
```
## Running the Server
### With Claude Desktop
1. 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:
```json
{
"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.
2. Restart Claude Desktop
### With MCP Inspector
For testing, you can use the MCP Inspector:
```bash
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:
1. Verify your credentials in the `.env` file are correct
2. Check if Garmin Connect requires additional verification
3. Ensure the garminconnect package is up to date
