Garmin Connect MCP

An MCP server that exposes your personal Garmin Connect data to MCP-capable clients — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.

The Garmin work is done by the python-garminconnect library; this repo is the thin MCP layer on top: tool definitions, a stdio server, and privacy guardrails that keep raw health payloads out of durable text. Because python-garminconnect relies on Garmin Connect's unofficial client behavior, it can break if Garmin changes login or endpoint behavior.

Setup

cd /path/to/garminconnect-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD.

Run once from a terminal to create or refresh saved Garmin tokens:

.venv/bin/garminconnect-mcp login

If Garmin asks for MFA, the login command prompts for the code in the terminal. For non-interactive use, set GARMIN_MFA_CODE temporarily.

The MCP server runs over stdio. Configure Codex with this command:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garmin": {
      "command": "/path/to/garminconnect-mcp/.venv/bin/garminconnect-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude config files are included too:

• .mcp.json for project-scoped Claude Code use.

• docs/claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop.

• docs/claude.md for setup and verification steps.

Gemini CLI config files are included too:

• .gemini/settings.json for project-scoped Gemini CLI use.

• docs/gemini_settings.json for user-scoped Gemini CLI config.

• docs/gemini.md for setup and verification steps.

Tools

Connection-only tools:

• garmin_connection_status

• garmin_ping

Raw private Garmin data tools:

• garmin_profile

• garmin_daily_stats

• garmin_heart_rate

• garmin_sleep

• garmin_hrv

• garmin_body_battery

• garmin_stress

• garmin_recent_activities

• garmin_activity

Summarized workout tools:

• garmin_workouts

• garmin_scheduled_workouts

• garmin_schedule_workout

• garmin_create_scheduled_workout

• garmin_unschedule_workout

Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. If omitted, tools default to today.

Use garmin_connection_status or garmin_ping for smoke tests. They validate login without returning profile, health, or account data.

This is a personal local MCP server, and the raw tools intentionally return full Garmin payloads. Avoid pasting those raw responses into docs, examples, issues, or other durable text unless you have sanitized them.

Workout tools return summarized fields instead of raw Garmin payloads. To create and schedule a new workout, pass Garmin Connect workout JSON to garmin_create_scheduled_workout; to schedule an existing template, use garmin_schedule_workout with its workout ID.
