[](https://mseep.ai/app/taxuspt-garmin-mcp) # Garmin MCP Server This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects to Garmin Connect and exposes your fitness and health data to Claude and other MCP-compatible clients. ## Features - List recent activities - Get detailed activity information - Access health metrics (steps, heart rate, sleep) - View body composition data ## Setup 1. Install the required packages on a new environment: ```bash uv sync ``` ## Running the Server ### Configuration Your Garmin Connect credentials are read from environment variables: - `GARMIN_EMAIL`: Your Garmin Connect email address - `GARMIN_EMAIL_FILE`: Path to a file containing your Garmin Connect email address - `GARMIN_PASSWORD`: Your Garmin Connect password - `GARMIN_PASSWORD_FILE`: Path to a file containing your Garmin Connect password File-based secrets are useful in certain environments, such as inside a Docker container. Note that you cannot set both `GARMIN_EMAIL` and `GARMIN_EMAIL_FILE`, similarly you cannot set both `GARMIN_PASSWORD` and `GARMIN_PASSWORD_FILE`. ### With Claude Desktop 1. Create a configuration in Claude Desktop: Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file: - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` Add this server configuration: ```json { "mcpServers": { "garmin": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--python", "3.12", "--from", "git+https://github.com/Taxuspt/garmin_mcp", "garmin-mcp" ], "env": { "GARMIN_EMAIL": "YOUR_GARMIN_EMAIL", "GARMIN_PASSWORD": "YOUR_GARMIN_PASSWORD" } } } } ``` Replace the path with the absolute path to your server file. 2. Restart Claude Desktop ### With MCP Inspector For testing, you can use the MCP Inspector from the project root: ```bash npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run garmin-mcp ``` ## Usage Examples Once connected in Claude, you can ask questions like: - "Show me my recent activities" - "What was my sleep like last night?" - "How many steps did I take yesterday?" - "Show me the details of my latest run" ## Security Note ## Troubleshooting If you encounter login issues: 1. Verify your credentials are correct 2. Check if Garmin Connect requires additional verification 3. Ensure the garminconnect package is up to date For other issues, check the Claude Desktop logs at: - macOS: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-garmin.log` - Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp-server-garmin.log` ### Garming Connect one-time code If you have one-time codes enabled in your account, you need to login at the command line first to set the token in the interactive cli. The app expects either the env var GARMIN_EMAIL or GARMIN_EMAIL_FILE. You can store these in files with the following command. ```bash echo "your_email@example.com" > ~/.garmin_email echo "your_password" > ~/.garmin_password chmod 600 ~/.garmin_email ~/.garmin_password ``` Then you can manually run the login script. ```bash GARMIN_EMAIL_FILE=~/.garmin_email GARMIN_PASSWORD_FILE=~/.garmin_password uvx --python 3.12 --from git+https://github.com/Taxuspt/garmin_mcp garmin-mcp ``` You will likely see ```bash Garmin Connect MFA required. Please check your email/phone for the code. Enter MFA code: XXXXXX Oauth tokens stored in '~/.garminconnect' directory for future use. (first method) Oauth tokens encoded as base64 string and saved to '~/.garminconnect_base64' file for future use. (second method) ``` After setting the token at the cli, you can use the following in Claude, without the env vars because the Oauth tokens have been set. ```bash "garmin": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--python", "3.12", "--from", "git+https://github.com/Taxuspt/garmin_mcp", "garmin-mcp" ] } ```
