Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get-athlete-profile

Fetches the profile information for the authenticated athlete, including their unique numeric ID needed for other tools like get-athlete-stats.

get-athlete-stats

Fetches the activity statistics (recent, YTD, all-time) for a specific athlete using their ID. Requires the athleteId obtained from the get-athlete-profile tool.

get-activity-details

Fetches detailed information about a specific activity using its ID.

get-recent-activities

Fetches the most recent activities for the authenticated athlete.

list-athlete-clubs

Lists the clubs the authenticated athlete is a member of.

list-starred-segments

Lists the segments starred by the authenticated athlete.

get-segment

Fetches detailed information about a specific segment using its ID.

explore-segments

Searches for popular segments within a given geographical area.

star-segment

Stars or unstars a specific segment for the authenticated athlete.

get-segment-effort

Fetches detailed information about a specific segment effort using its ID.

list-segment-efforts

Lists the authenticated athlete's efforts on a specific segment, optionally filtering by date.

list-athlete-routes

Lists the routes created by the authenticated athlete, with pagination.

get-route

Fetches detailed information about a specific route using its ID.

export-route-gpx

Exports a specific Strava route in GPX format and saves it to a pre-configured local directory.

export-route-tcx

Exports a specific Strava route in TCX format and saves it to a pre-configured local directory.

get-activity-streams

Retrieves detailed time-series data streams from a Strava activity. Perfect for analyzing workout metrics, visualizing routes, or performing detailed activity analysis.

Key Features:

  1. Multiple Data Types: Access various metrics like heart rate, power, speed, GPS coordinates, etc.

  2. Flexible Resolution: Choose data density from low (~100 points) to high (~10000 points)

  3. Smart Pagination: Get data in manageable chunks optimized for LLM context limits

  4. Rich Statistics: Includes min/max/avg for numeric streams

  5. Dual Format Support: Compact (LLM-optimized) or verbose (human-readable)

  6. Intelligent Downsampling: Automatically reduce large datasets while preserving key features

Format Options:

  • compact (default): Raw arrays, minified JSON, ~70-80% smaller payloads, ideal for LLM processing

  • verbose: Human-readable objects with formatted values, backward compatible with legacy format

Common Use Cases:

  • Analyzing workout intensity through heart rate zones

  • Calculating power metrics for cycling activities

  • Visualizing route data using GPS coordinates

  • Analyzing pace and elevation changes

  • Detailed segment analysis

Output Format:

  1. Metadata: Activity overview, available streams, data points, units, format info

  2. Statistics: Summary stats for each stream type (max/min/avg where applicable)

  3. Data: Time-series data in compact arrays or verbose objects (based on format parameter)

Notes:

  • Requires activity:read scope

  • Not all streams are available for all activities

  • Older activities might have limited data

  • Large activities are automatically chunked to ~50KB per message

  • Use max_points parameter to downsample very large activities intelligently

get-activity-laps

Retrieves detailed lap data for a specific Strava activity.

Use Cases:

  • Get complete lap data including timestamps, speeds, and metrics

  • Access raw values for detailed analysis or visualization

  • Extract specific lap metrics for comparison or tracking

Parameters:

  • id (required): The unique identifier of the Strava activity.

Output Format: Returns both a human-readable summary and complete JSON data for each lap, including:

  1. A text summary with formatted metrics

  2. Raw lap data containing all fields from the Strava API:

    • Unique lap ID and indices

    • Timestamps (start_date, start_date_local)

    • Distance and timing metrics

    • Speed metrics (average and max)

    • Performance metrics (heart rate, cadence, power if available)

    • Elevation data

    • Resource state information

    • Activity and athlete references

Notes:

  • Requires activity:read scope for public/followers activities, activity:read_all for private activities

  • Returns complete data as received from Strava API without omissions

  • All numeric values are preserved in their original precision

get-athlete-zones

Retrieves the authenticated athlete's configured heart rate and power zones.

Output includes both a formatted summary and the raw JSON data.

get-all-activities

Fetches complete activity history with optional filtering by date range and activity type. Supports pagination to retrieve all activities.

get-activity-photos

Retrieves photos associated with a specific Strava activity.

Use Cases:

  • Fetch all photos uploaded to an activity

  • Get photo URLs for display or download

  • Access photo metadata including location and timestamps

Parameters:

  • id (required): The unique identifier of the Strava activity.

  • size (optional): Size of photos to return in pixels (e.g., 100, 600, 2048). If not specified, returns all available sizes.

Output Format: Returns both a human-readable summary and complete JSON data for each photo, including:

  1. A text summary with photo count and URLs

  2. Raw photo data containing all fields from the Strava API:

    • Photo ID and unique identifier

    • URLs for different sizes

    • Source (1 = Strava, 2 = Instagram)

    • Timestamps (uploaded_at, created_at)

    • Location coordinates if available

    • Caption if provided

Notes:

  • Requires activity:read scope for public/followers activities, activity:read_all for private activities

  • Photos may come from Strava uploads or linked Instagram posts

  • Returns empty array if activity has no photos

get-server-version

Returns the Strava MCP server version and related metadata.
