fix: getAllActivities.toolFilter test expects outdated output format

The test in tests/getAllActivities.toolFilter.test.ts expects " - Run - " in the output, but formatActivitySummary() was updated to use the format ${type} ${name} (ID: ${id}) - ${distance} in ${duration} on ${date}.

The assertion needs to match the current format. Simple one-line fix.

nodejs dependency not mentioned in README

I tried to install this on my partner’s laptop, it failed silently until I installed nodejs.

README/Installation instructions should mention this dependency and link to the official nodejs website with supported installation methods.

Hosting on Glama not working

When hosting on Glama.ai I am (naturally) never prompted for authentication, and therefore I am not able to provide scopes for the access token. In turn I am never able to retrieve the necessary scope to retrieve activities, which is kind of the whole point.

This MCP Server is really good, but unfortunately only for local use with Claude desktop.

Extreme slowness after analyzing ride

There may be some kind of memory leak or issue causing slow performance. I have noticed when connecting claude to this MCP server, after some data is pulled, specifically when getting "activity streams", claude becomes almost unusably slow. Any idea why this might be? I thought it was Claude at first, but it only happens when on a chat where this MCP server is connected.

Is this mcp server still being maintained? I could try and take a look later on.

Primary issue: after pulling activity strea

Can't get entire history

Looking at the getRecentActivities.ts tool, an LLM would not be able to fetch a user's complete activity history with this implementation.

Current Limitations:

  1. No pagination support - The tool only accepts a perPage parameter (default 30) but doesn't support pagination parameters like page or after/before timestamps. The Strava API returns activities in pages, so you can only get one page at a time.
  2. Strava API limits - The Strava API typically limits responses to 200 items per p

Average Segment Leaderboard Power

Is it possible to pull the average power to be on a leaderboard for a specific segment? I would like to be able to ask the LLM which segments I have a chance to get a top 10 on but I am not sure if that is supported by the strava API

Using ts-node causes error

In my case, when I entered npx ts-node scripts/setup-auth.ts in the terminal, I got the following error:

### Large 64-bit IDs corrupted by JS number parsing (segment-effort IDs unusable)

Strava's 19-digit segment-effort IDs (~2.8×10¹⁸) exceed JavaScript's safe-integer range (2⁵³). stravaClient.ts parses responses with the default JSON.parse and no big-int handling, so these IDs are silently rounded — e.g. …351160 becomes …351000. Two consequences:

1. list-segment-efforts returns corrupted effort IDs (observable: every returned ID ends in 00/000).
2. get-segment-effort can't be reached for those efforts — its effortId param is z.number().int(), so even a correct ID is re-truncat

### Please publish npm release with the local timestamp fix

I see the fix is already merged into the main branch. #35 but the latest npm package 1.2.0 still have this bug.

Could you please publish a new npm version with this fix included? Thanks.

### harmonize ID and boolean input handling across all MCP tools for client compatibility

## Problem

MCP clients like Claude and Cowork transmit **all tool parameters as JSON strings**, even when the schema declares `type: "integer"` or `type: "boolean"`. This causes Zod validation to reject valid inputs before they reach the server logic.

Additionally, `zod-to-json-schema` generates `type: "integer"` for `z.number().int()`, which strict clients validate **client-side** and reject string values like `"17845129778"` before even calling the server.

## Current state — inconsistent ha

### No recovery way when incorrect OAuth credentials are entered

# Core issue

If invalid credentials are entered once during authentication, Strava's authentication error page will repeatedly appear.
Recovery is extremely difficult.

# Detail
- `saveClientCredentials()` saves immediately without any validation ([src/auth/server.ts](https://github.com/r-huijts/strava-mcp/blob/2e502ba84ade004a0388ccae5bcfd30ea9b58d37/src/auth/server.ts#L81))
- `GET /setup` redirects to `/auth` without showing the setup form when `hasClientCredentials()` returns `true` ([src/au

### get-all-activities activityTypes filter returns 0 because type is stripped by Zod schema

When using the MCP tool [get-all-activities](vscode-file://vscode-app/usr/share/code/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html) with [activityTypes](vscode-file://vscode-app/usr/share/code/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html) filtering (e.g. ["Run"]), the tool returns no matches even though the athlete has Run activities in the requested date range.

Example: an activity on 2024-12-03 is a Run, but [get-all-activities](vscode-file://vscod

### sequence of steps in the readme

Take note it is necessary to first install, then configure in Claude's config ,then do the strava auth flow  and finally do a reboot of Claude. otherwise the .env variables won't be read by Claude.
Nice stuff!
