mcp-garmin

MCP server for Garmin Connect health and fitness data. Read-only access to daily health metrics, activities, workouts, and body composition via the python-garminconnect library.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.14+

  • uv

  • A Garmin Connect account

Related MCP server: garth-mcp-server

Authentication

Garmin Connect uses email/password authentication with optional MFA. The library persists session tokens to ~/.garminconnect/garmin_tokens.json after initial login.

First-time setup

Run the interactive login command to establish tokens. This handles MFA prompts:

# Set credentials (or the CLI will prompt you)
export GARMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com"
export GARMIN_PASSWORD="your-password"

# Interactive login -- prompts for MFA if enabled
uvx mcp-garmin-login

Running the server

The MCP server requires GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD environment variables. It reuses tokens saved by the login step and refreshes them automatically.

export GARMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com"
export GARMIN_PASSWORD="your-password"
