What Claude can and cannot see
What crosses over is the recorded activity: the distance, pace, duration, and heart rate for each run or ride Strava wrote into your phone's health hub. Wellness Project structures that into your training history, and Claude reads it from there.
What stays behind is the social layer. Segments, kudos, comments, and your Strava feed live in Strava and never travel to Wellness Project or Claude. Claude sees the workout you did, not the app you did it in.
Is there a Strava MCP server?
There is no Strava MCP server from Wellness Project. The path is Strava to Apple Health or Health Connect to Wellness Project to Claude, over one MCP connection. Community-built Strava MCP servers that talk to the Strava API directly do exist, and if you want to run one yourself, that option is out there.
What this path gives you instead is one connection, not one per device. Your Strava workouts sit next to your sleep, your heart rate, and every other device you have connected to Wellness Project, all in the same history, with nothing for you to host or maintain.
For most people asking Claude to reason about a training block, that trade favors this path: fewer connectors, one place your whole picture lives.
Set it up in five steps
Your phone does the relaying, so the setup itself is short. Point Strava at the hub, point Wellness Project at the hub, then point Claude at Wellness Project.
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 Strava write workouts to your phone's health hub
On iPhone, open Strava's settings and turn on the Apple Health connection so every run or ride you record gets written into Apple Health. On Android, Strava's write support into Google Health Connect is limited, so a Garmin or other recording device syncing straight to Health Connect will usually carry more of your training than Strava's own relay does.
Connect Wellness Project to that hub
In the Wellness Project app, grant Apple Health or Health Connect permission. Wellness Project reads the workouts already sitting there, including anything Strava wrote, and builds one structured training history out of them.
Add the Wellness Project MCP connector to Claude
In claude.ai, add wellnessproject.ai/api/mcp as a custom connector and authorize it with your Wellness Project account. Claude Desktop picks up the same connector from claude.ai automatically.
Ask about your data in plain language
Open a chat and ask about your training the way you would ask a coach. Claude reads the structured history behind your answer instead of a single activity you happened to paste in.
What to ask Claude once it is connected
The prompts worth asking span time, because that is what the connection actually buys you over scrolling your own feed.
Try "what was my weekly mileage over the last six weeks?" or "is my pace on easy runs trending faster this training block?" Try "how did my ride volume this month compare to my sleep the same weeks?" to pull Strava alongside data from another device entirely. Claude answers from your structured history, not the single ride you happen to be thinking about.
Give Claude your real runs and rides.
Let Strava write to your phone's hub, connect Wellness Project to it, and add one MCP connector to Claude. Free during early access.
