🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Hevy Pro subscription - The Hevy API is only available to Pro users

2. Hevy API Key - Get yours at https://hevy.com/settings?developer

3. Cloudflare account - For deploying the MCP server

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/tomtorggler/hevy-mcp-server.git
cd hevy-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Set your Hevy API key as a secret:

npx wrangler secret put HEVY_API_KEY
# Paste your API key when prompted

4. Deploy to Cloudflare:

npm run deploy

Your MCP server will be available at: https://hevy-mcp-server.<your-account>.workers.dev/mcp

Local Development

Run the server locally:

npm run dev

The server will be available at: http://localhost:8787/mcp

🔌 Connect to AI Clients

Claude Desktop

To connect from Claude Desktop, edit your config file (Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hevy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://hevy-mcp-server.<your-account>.workers.dev/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and you'll see the Hevy tools available.

Cloudflare AI Playground

1. Go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/

2. Enter your deployed MCP server URL

3. Start using Hevy tools directly from the playground!

📖 Usage Examples

Creating a Workout

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to log workouts:

"Log a workout from today at 10am to 11am. I did bench press: 3 sets of 100kg for 10 reps, and squats: 4 sets of 120kg for 8 reps."

The assistant will:

1. Use get_exercise_templates to find the exercise IDs

2. Call create_workout with the proper structure

3. Confirm the workout was logged successfully

Viewing Progress

"Show me my last 5 workouts"

"What's my exercise history for deadlifts?"

"Get all workout changes since January 1st, 2024"

The assistant will use get_workout_events to sync recent changes.

Managing Routines

"Create a new Push Day routine with bench press (4 sets of 8-12 reps at 100kg) and overhead press (3 sets of 10 reps at 60kg)"

The assistant will use the repRange field for exercises with rep ranges like "8-12 reps".

"Update my Upper Body routine to add pull-ups"

The assistant will use update_routine to modify existing routines.

Creating Custom Exercises

"Create a custom exercise called 'Tom's Special Cable Flyes' for chest using the cable machine"

The assistant will use create_exercise_template with the appropriate muscle groups and equipment category.

Organizing Routines

"Create a new folder called 'Summer 2024 Programs'"

The assistant will use create_routine_folder to organize your routines.

🔧 API Details

Workout Structure

When creating workouts, you can specify:

• title - Name of the workout (required)

• startTime - When the workout started (required, ISO 8601 format)

• endTime - When the workout ended (required, ISO 8601 format)

• routineId - Optional routine ID this workout belongs to

• description - Optional workout description

• isPrivate - Whether the workout is private (optional, default: false)

• exercises - Array of exercises, each with:

  • title - Exercise name from the template (required)

  • exerciseTemplateId - Get this from get_exercise_templates (required)

  • supersetId - Optional superset ID (null if not in a superset)

  • notes - Optional notes for this exercise

  • sets - Array of set data with:

    • type - "warmup", "normal", "failure", or "dropset" (optional)

    • weightKg - Weight in kilograms (optional)

    • reps - Number of repetitions (optional)

    • distanceMeters - For cardio exercises (optional)

    • durationSeconds - For timed exercises (optional)

    • customMetric - Custom metric for steps/floors (optional)

    • rpe - Rating of Perceived Exertion, 6-10 (optional)

Note: The index field for exercises and sets is automatically generated based on their position in the array.

Routine Structure

When creating routines, you can specify:

• title - Name of the routine (required)

• folderId - Optional folder ID (null for default "My Routines" folder)

• notes - Optional notes for the routine

• exercises - Array of exercises, each with:

  • exerciseTemplateId - Get this from get_exercise_templates (required)

Adding New Tools

To add new Hevy API capabilities:

1. Add the API method to src/lib/client.ts

2. Define the tool in src/index.ts inside the init() method

3. Use Zod for input validation

4. Handle errors gracefully

Example:

this.server.tool(
  "tool_name",
  {
    param: z.string().describe("Parameter description"),
  },
  async ({ param }) => {
    try {
      const result = await this.client.someMethod(param);
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)
        }]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: `Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error"}`
        }]
      };
    }
  }
);
