# How to connect Garmin Connect to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

**Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Garmin Connect account.** Garmin's own API is pull-only and made for developers. Cotlet.dev connects your own Garmin Connect account to any AI agent, so the AI can read your training and build and schedule workouts for you.

## What you can ask

> Build a 10 km tempo run workout and put it on my Garmin calendar for Thursday.

> How did my sleep and HRV change over the last 4 weeks?

> Plan my next 8 weeks for a half marathon and schedule the workouts.

> Compare my last three long runs: pace, heart rate, cadence.

> What's my VO2 max trend this year?

## Questions from Garmin Connect users

**Does Garmin Connect have an API?**

Garmin has a personal, pull-only API and a business Health API for developers. Neither lets an AI agent create and schedule workouts for you. Cotlet.dev works in your own Garmin Connect account, so it can.

**How do I connect my Garmin to Claude AI?**

Add Cotlet.dev to Claude (the `claude mcp add` command above, or a custom connector in the Claude app), sign in to Garmin Connect once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask Claude about your training.

**How do I connect Garmin Connect to ChatGPT?**

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`), sign in to Garmin Connect once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Garmin Connect API key.

**Is there a Garmin Connect MCP server?**

Garmin Connect has no official MCP server. Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in Garmin Connect for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.
