# strava-mcp MCP Server Remote MCP server for your Strava activities, segments, and routes **Publisher claimed.** No tool list reported, and Pod has not connected to this server. ## Status Pod has not dialled strava-mcp yet, so everything on this page is what its publisher reported rather than what we observed. Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim. ## Connect Published as `ghcr.io/ljcl/strava-mcp:3.0.0` on oci. Runs locally. ## Known issues **145 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team.** Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded — those are release checklists and internal refactors, not things that will go wrong for you. Showing 12. ### Most discussed ### spike: external tile fetch through host CSP and free tile-source choice ## Summary Determine whether an MCP App can fetch external map tiles through the host's sandbox/CSP, and choose the free tile source to standardize on. ## Area mcp-app ## Motivation MCP App iframes block external connections by default. The server can declare `_meta.ui.csp` (`connectDomains` / `resourceDomains`), but the host (Claude) must honor those allowlisted origins through its double-iframe sandbox. This is the gating unknown for any basemap.

Strava's Webhook Events API can push create / update / delete events for activities and athlete deauthorizations, enabling real-time reactions (cache invalidation, notifications) without polling and reducing rate-limit pressure. ## Current behaviour No subscription handling exists: no `/push_subscriptions` calls in `apps/server/src/stravaClient.ts`, and no webhook callback route in `apps/server/src/index.ts`. ## Proposed approach 1.

Four features over the same analysis primitives. ## Why these belong together They share `fitnessTrend.ts`, `hillAnalysis.ts`'s grade-adjusted pace, and the `getBestEfforts` scan pattern. One of the pairs is explicit: #267's body already points at the companion view issue. ## Ordered batches **1.

Two issues filed as explicit companions — the same class of drift on either side of the server/app boundary. ## Why these belong together Each body names the other. They are the same inventory exercise done twice, and the inventory is the expensive part. ## Members — either order - #252 — hoist `formatClock`, the short-date helper, and one `formatDurationShort` into `@strava-mcp/data`, then delete the per-app copies.

Groups everything the server advertises to a host — input schemas, output schemas, capabilities, notifications — plus the one test that would catch a break in any of them. ## Why these belong together 31 of 46 tools return text only, no capability beyond `tools`/`resources`/`prompts` is advertised, and the protocol layer is only partly tested — `tools/list` is exercised end-to-end but nothing else is.
