Garmin MCP
The Garmin MCP Server connects AI agents to your Garmin Connect health and fitness data locally — your credentials and tokens never leave your machine.
Setup & Diagnostics
Check connection status, token/config health, and cache readiness (
garmin_connection_status,garmin_cache_status)Get auth instructions, a guided quickstart, and a privacy audit (
garmin_auth_instructions,garmin_quickstart,garmin_privacy_audit)Disconnect by deleting the local token file (
garmin_disconnect_local)
Discovery & Demo
Explore supported data domains, privacy modes, and agent workflow (
garmin_capabilities,garmin_data_inventory,garmin_agent_manifest)Get realistic example payloads before any real API call (
garmin_demo)
Profile & Devices
Retrieve user profile, account settings, registered devices, and primary training device
Daily Wellness Signals (each accepts a date)
Sleep stages, HRV, Body Battery (events & daily report), stress, heart rate, training readiness/status, respiration, SpO2, intensity minutes, hydration, and daily movement summary
Activities
List recent activities with date/type/pagination filters
Drill into activity details, splits/laps, heart-rate zones, and weather conditions
Body & Weight
Weight and body composition logs for a date range
Aggregated Summaries
garmin_daily_summary— Combines sleep, HRV, stress, Body Battery, and activity into an actionable daily check-ingarmin_weekly_summary— Weekly scorecard covering movement, sleep, HRV, stress, bottlenecks, and recommended actionsgarmin_wellness_context— Normalized readiness/sleep/Body Battery shape for cross-connector recommendation engines
Shared Wellness Profile (cross-connector)
Read/update a shared Delx wellness profile (goals, devices, training context) and run an 11-question onboarding flow
Privacy & Security
Three configurable privacy modes:
summary(default),structured, andrawTokens stored locally at
~/.garmin-mcp/garmin_tokens.json; passwords are never storedBuilt-in GPS redaction and secret field rejection; optional SQLite read-through cache
Provides access to Garmin health and wellness data, including sleep, HRV, Body Battery, stress, training readiness, activities, and daily summaries via Garmin Connect.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Garmin MCPhow was my sleep last night?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
⚡ One-command install with Delx Wellness for Hermes:
npx -y delx-wellness-hermes setup— preconfigures this connector and the full Delx Wellness stack in a dedicated Hermes profile.Or wire it standalone into Claude Desktop / Cursor / ChatGPT Desktop — see the install section below. Runnable examples live in the Delx Agent Workbench.
Local-first MCP server that connects AI agents to your Garmin sleep, HRV, Body Battery, stress, training readiness and activities.
Unofficial project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Garmin. This is not official Garmin Health API partnership access — it uses the unofficial Garmin Connect personal-token mode.
Built by David Mosiah for people who use Claude, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw or other MCP-compatible agents to think about training, sleep and recovery — without copy-pasting numbers from the Garmin Connect app.
Part of Delx Wellness, a registry of local-first wellness MCP connectors.
If this connector helps your agent workflow, please star the repo. Stars make the project easier for other AI builders to discover and help Delx keep shipping local-first wellness infrastructure.
Why this exists
Garmin produces some of the best processed wellness signals — sleep stages, HRV status, Body Battery, stress, training readiness, training status, intensity minutes — but its official Garmin Health API is partner-licensed and not self-serve for individuals.
This package gives individual Garmin users a practical bridge: it logs into Garmin Connect with your own credentials locally (never sent to any agent), keeps tokens on your machine, and exposes Garmin signals through the Model Context Protocol. Your password never reaches the MCP — only short-lived Garmin Connect tokens are stored.

Setup in 60 seconds
No Garmin developer app is required. setup only writes local MCP configuration; it does not ask for your Garmin password.
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial setup # writes local config
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial auth # built-in login, prompts for credentials locally (no Python needed)
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial doctor # verifies you're readyOr one shot:
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial setup --authauth runs a self-contained Node login and prompts locally for Garmin email, password and MFA when needed. The MCP does not store your Garmin password — only Garmin Connect tokens, saved at ~/.garmin-mcp/garmin_tokens.json with user-only permissions.
📺 Want to see exactly what each command prints? The auth quickstart walkthrough shows real
--help,auth,auth --jsonanddoctoroutput for the full first-call journey.
Prefer the old Python flow? auth --use-python (or auth --install-helper to install the garminconnect package, with an isolated virtualenv fallback under ~/.garmin-mcp/venv) still works.
Then add this to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"garmin": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "garmin-mcp-unofficial"]
}
}
}Try it with your agent
Three things to ask first:
Use garmin_connection_status to check setup, then run garmin_daily_summary.
Give me a 5-line operating brief for today.Call garmin_weekly_summary with response_format=json. Identify my biggest
recovery/sleep/stress bottleneck and give me a next-week plan.Use the garmin_intraday_investigation prompt for date=today, focus=stress.
Don't claim Garmin can prove anything it can't.Data availability
This package reads processed Garmin Connect data via the unofficial personal-token mode. When this README says raw, it means upstream Garmin Connect JSON — not raw accelerometer / gyroscope / continuous device telemetry.
Data | Available | Notes |
Sleep duration + stages + score | ✓ | When the device/account supports it |
HRV status + overnight HRV | ✓ | When supported by device/account |
Body Battery (daily + events) | ✓ | Charge/drain reports |
Stress samples + daily summary | ✓ | Per-day stress context |
Training readiness + training status | ✓ | When supported by device/account |
Daily movement (steps, calories, distance, floors, intensity minutes) | ✓ | Standard wellness signals |
Heart rate (resting + daily samples) | ✓ | Per-day samples and resting HR |
Activities + details + splits + zones | ✓ | Recent activities and detail payloads |
Body composition / weight + hydration | ✓ | When logged |
Continuous device telemetry / accelerometer / gyroscope | — | Not exposed by Garmin Connect web endpoints |
Garmin can change private auth or endpoints at any time. Failures should be treated as integration drift, not user error.

Privacy & security
Garmin Connect tokens are stored at
~/.garmin-mcp/garmin_tokens.jsonwith user-only permissions and are never returned by tools.Your Garmin password is never stored — only short-lived Garmin Connect tokens persist locally.
GARMIN_PRIVACY_MODEdefaults tosummary(more conservative than other Delx Wellness connectors) because the auth model is unofficial.Local cache is opt-in via
GARMIN_CACHE=sqlite.The MCP client never sees Garmin credentials or tokens.
This is not medical advice. The server exposes user-authorized data for personal AI workflows, not diagnosis or treatment.
Configuration
GARMIN_TOKEN_PATH=~/.garmin-mcp/garmin_tokens.json
GARMIN_PRIVACY_MODE=summary # summary | structured | raw
GARMIN_CACHE=sqlite # optional read-through cache
GARMIN_CACHE_PATH=~/.garmin-mcp/cache.sqlite
GARMIN_DOMAIN=garmin.com # or garmin.cn for China accountsHermes / remote setup
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial setup --client hermes
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial auth
npx -y garmin-mcp-unofficial doctor --client hermes
hermes mcp test garminAfter Hermes config changes, use /reload-mcp or hermes mcp test garmin. Don't restart the gateway for normal data access.
Human-to-agent handoff
Paste this into your agent when you want it to install the bridge for you:
Install the unofficial Garmin MCP server for me.
Repository: https://github.com/davidmosiah/garmin-mcp
Run setup, then auth, then doctor.
If this is Hermes, use setup --client hermes and reload MCP with /reload-mcp or hermes mcp test garmin.
Never ask me to paste Garmin passwords, tokens or raw private payloads into chat.
Start with garmin_connection_status, then garmin_daily_summary.
This is not medical advice.Requirements
