How to Set Up and Use Garmin Connect
Garmin Connect MCP Server provides AI assistants with access to all your Garmin fitness data through 61 specialized tools covering activities, daily health metrics, sleep, body composition, training performance, and device management. It works by routing requests through a headless browser to bypass Garmin's API restrictions, requiring only your Garmin Connect email and password. Athletes and health enthusiasts can query detailed metrics like VO2 Max, heart rate zones, sleep stages, and training readiness directly through conversation.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ installed
- An active Garmin Connect account with a Garmin device
- Your Garmin Connect email address and password
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code CLI
Add the server to Claude Code CLI
The quickest way to add the server using Claude Code CLI. Replace the email and password with your Garmin Connect credentials.
claude mcp add garmin -e [email protected] -e GARMIN_PASSWORD=yourpass -- npx -y @nicolasvegam/garmin-connect-mcpHandle MFA if your account uses two-factor authentication
If your Garmin Connect account has MFA enabled, run the setup command first. It will prompt for the MFA code and cache authentication tokens for future use.
GARMIN_EMAIL='[email protected]' GARMIN_PASSWORD='yourpass' npx -y @nicolasvegam/garmin-connect-mcp setupConfigure Claude Desktop (alternative to CLI)
Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json with your credentials in the env block. This approach works for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.
{
"mcpServers": {
"garmin": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nicolasvegam/garmin-connect-mcp"],
"env": {
"GARMIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
"GARMIN_PASSWORD": "yourpass"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your MCP client to initialize the server. The 61 Garmin tools will be available once the server authenticates with Garmin Connect.
Query your fitness data
Ask Claude about your activities, sleep data, health metrics, or training performance. The server provides data across seven categories including activities, daily health, trends, sleep, body composition, performance, and profile.
Garmin Connect Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration for the Garmin Connect MCP server. GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD are the only required environment variables.
{
"mcpServers": {
"garmin": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@nicolasvegam/garmin-connect-mcp"],
"env": {
"GARMIN_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
"GARMIN_PASSWORD": "yourpass"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts for querying Garmin fitness and health data through Claude.
- "Show me my last 5 running activities with pace, distance, and heart rate zones."
- "What was my sleep quality like this week? Break down stages and scores by night."
- "What's my current VO2 Max, training readiness score, and HRV status? Am I ready for a hard workout today?"Troubleshooting Garmin Connect
Authentication fails with 'Invalid credentials' or timeout
Verify your GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD are correct by logging into connect.garmin.com manually. If your account uses SSO via Google or Facebook, you may need to set a direct Garmin password first in your account settings.
MFA prompt blocks server startup
Run the setup command manually to complete MFA and cache tokens: '[email protected] GARMIN_PASSWORD=yourpass npx -y @nicolasvegam/garmin-connect-mcp setup'. After setup completes, restart your MCP client normally.
Activity data returns empty or incomplete results
Garmin Connect syncs data from your device periodically. Ensure your device has synced recently via the Garmin Connect mobile app or Garmin Express. Some metrics like HRV and training readiness require compatible devices (e.g., Fenix, Forerunner 955+).
