What Claude can and cannot see
Once your Garmin history reaches Wellness Project, Claude can read the metrics Garmin Connect writes into Apple Health or Health Connect: steps, sleep, heart rate, workouts, and HRV where Garmin Connect exports it. Those arrive as structured rows, not a raw export, so Claude reads a trend across weeks instead of a single day's number.
A few Garmin-native scores, like training status and Body Battery, are computed inside Garmin's own app and do not always write to the hub as standalone values, so Claude cannot see those specific numbers. The raw signals behind them, heart rate, pace, and sleep, usually do cross, and Claude reads those directly.
Is there a Garmin MCP server?
There is no Garmin MCP server. The path is Garmin to Garmin Connect to Apple Health or Health Connect to Wellness Project to Claude, over one MCP connection. That connector is not something Garmin builds. Wellness Project runs the MCP server, and it reads whatever Garmin Connect has already synced into your phone's health hub, then makes that history available to Claude in a single chat.
Setting it up means three things line up: Garmin Connect writing to the hub, Wellness Project reading that hub, and the Wellness Project connector added to Claude. Once those are in place, a normal Claude conversation can read your Garmin history.
Set it up in five steps
Four pieces line up in order: Garmin writing to your phone's health hub, Wellness Project reading that hub, the MCP connector added to Claude, and then you ask. Each step takes about a minute and the setup is one-time.
Get the Wellness Project app
Download Wellness Project for iPhone or Android with the buttons above, or sign in on the web. Signing in with Apple or Google takes one tap, the account is free during early access, and this is the app that stores your synced history and serves it to Claude and ChatGPT over MCP.
Let Garmin Connect write to your phone's health hub
On iPhone, open Garmin Connect, go to Settings, then Apple Health, and turn on the categories you want shared: steps, workouts, heart rate, and sleep. On Android, grant Garmin Connect permission to write to Health Connect. This is the step that puts your Garmin data somewhere Wellness Project can read it.
Connect Wellness Project to that hub
In Wellness Project, open integrations and connect Apple Health or Health Connect, then grant read access. Whatever Garmin Connect has written into the hub, steps, sleep, heart rate, workouts, and HRV where Garmin Connect exports it, syncs into your Wellness Project history.
Add the Wellness Project MCP connector to Claude
In claude.ai, add wellnessproject.ai/api/mcp as a custom connector and authorize it through your Wellness Project account. Claude Desktop syncs the connector from claude.ai. This is the single MCP connection in the whole path.
Ask about your data in plain language
Open a chat and ask about your Garmin history directly. Claude reads the structured rows Wellness Project relayed from the hub and answers against your own training data instead of a generic average.
What to ask Claude once it is connected
The best questions span time, since Claude reads your history rather than a single sync. Try "How has my resting heart rate trended over the past month?" "What was my weekly running volume for the last four weeks?" or "Did my sleep get shorter the week my mileage went up?" Claude answers from the structured rows Wellness Project relayed from Apple Health or Health Connect, not a screenshot or a single day's number.
Give Claude your Garmin training history.
Let Garmin Connect write to Apple Health or Health Connect, connect that hub to Wellness Project, and add the MCP connector to Claude. Free during early access.
