Tally Workout MCP server
Docs for the remote Model Context Protocol server of Tally Workout, a free iPhone strength log. Your AI agent reads your training history and plans workouts in the Tally app. You log every set at the gym. Next week, the agent plans from what you actually lifted. When you ask, the agent can also log, change or delete a finished workout, and you can undo each change for 7 days.
It works with Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Muse, Hark, Perplexity, Dots and any MCP client that supports OAuth 2.1 or a bearer token.
This repo holds the public docs. The server is first-party and closed source. It runs as part of the Tally backend.

Rules
Finished workouts change only when the user asks.
log_workout,update_workout,delete_workoutandrestore_workoutneed a Full access key or an OAuth connection.update_workoutanddelete_workoutneed the workout'sversionfromget_workoutasexpectedVersion. Each change keeps the earlier content for 7 days:get_workout_versionslists it andrestore_workoutbrings it back. All exceptrestore_workoutneed a phone on the current Tally app.Some days are protected. A day the user built in the app, or edited, is protected. The plan, update, move and delete tools skip it unless the user asks for an override.
Edits check the version. If a day or a finished workout changed after the agent read it, nothing is written and the result reports a conflict.
Each user sees only their own data. OAuth tokens and API keys are scoped to one account. The user can revoke them at any time.
