Garmin MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides seamless integration with Garmin Connect, allowing AI assistants to access your Garmin fitness and health data.

Features

• Activity Data: Access recent activities, detailed workout information

• Health Metrics: Retrieve heart rate, sleep, and stress data

• Daily Statistics: Get daily activity summaries and statistics

• Device Information: Query connected Garmin device details

• Date Range Queries: Fetch historical data for specific time periods

Related MCP server: GC-MCP

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher

• A Garmin Connect account

• MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Desktop, etc.)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/hsavelli/Garmin-MCP.git
cd Garmin-MCP

2. Install dependencies:

pip install garminconnect mcp

Note: in some instances you might need to use the command pip3 instead.

Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmin": {
      "command": "python", 
      "args": ["/path/to/garmin_mcp.py"]
    }
  }
}

Note: in some instances you might need to use the command python3 instead.

Usage

Once configured, the MCP server provides the following capabilities:

Resources

The server exposes these Garmin data resources:

• garmin://activities/recent - Recent activities list

• garmin://stats/daily - Today's statistics

• garmin://health/heart-rate - Heart rate data

• garmin://health/sleep - Sleep tracking data

• garmin://health/stress - Stress level measurements

• garmin://device/info - Connected device information

Tools

Available tools for interacting with Garmin Connect:

1. authenticate_garmin - Authenticate with your Garmin Connect account

   • Parameters: email, password

2. get_activity_details - Get detailed information about a specific activity

   • Parameters: activity_id

3. get_stats_range - Get statistics for a date range

   • Parameters: start_date, end_date (format: YYYY-MM-DD)

4. sync_device - Trigger device sync with Garmin Connect

Example Interactions

In your AI assistant, you can:

"Authenticate with my Garmin account using email@example.com"
"Show me my recent activities"
"What was my heart rate data today?"
"Get my sleep data from last night"
"Show me my activity statistics for the past week"

Security Notes

• Credentials are never stored by the MCP server

• Authentication is required for each session

• All data is fetched directly from Garmin Connect API

• No data is cached or persisted locally

Development

Project Structure

garmin_mcp.py    # Main MCP server implementation
README.md        # This file

Adding New Features

To add new Garmin data endpoints:

1. Add a new resource in list_resources()

2. Implement the data fetching logic in read_resource()

3. Create a helper method for the specific data type

4. Optionally add a new tool in list_tools() for advanced functionality

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

• Ensure your Garmin Connect credentials are correct

• Check if you have 2FA enabled (may require app-specific password)

• Verify your account isn't locked due to too many attempts

Connection Errors

• Check your internet connection

• Garmin Connect may be temporarily unavailable

• Rate limiting may apply for excessive requests

MCP Connection Issues

• Verify the path to garmin_mcp.py in your configuration

• Ensure Python is in your system PATH

• Check MCP server logs for detailed error messages
