WHOOP MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets Claude query your personal WHOOP health data —recovery, sleep, strain, workouts, and profile — via WHOOP's official OAuth 2.0 REST API (v2).
Each person who uses this runs their own copy against their own WHOOP account: you register yourown free developer app with WHOOP, and your tokens/credentials stay in local files on your machine(gitignored) — nothing is shared or sent anywhere except directly between your machine and WHOOP'sAPI.
git clone https://github.com/vaibhavgoel63-arch/Whoop-MCP.git
cd Whoop-MCP
1. Get WHOOP API credentials
- Go to the WHOOP Developer Dashboard and sign in.
- Create (or open) an app.
- Under the app's API settings, set the Redirect URI to exactly:
http://localhost:8080/callback - Copy the Client ID and Client Secret — you'll paste these into
.envin step 3 below.
2. Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ (needed for the built-in
fetchAPI). Check withnode --version.
3. Install and configure
npm install
cp .env.example .env
Open .env and paste in your Client ID and Client Secret from step 1:
WHOOP_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id-here
WHOOP_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret-here
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8080/callback
⚠️ You must manually fill in
WHOOP_CLIENT_IDandWHOOP_CLIENT_SECRET— the server willrefuse to start any OAuth flow until these are set.
4. Build and log in (one-time)
npm run build
npm run login
This will:
- Start a temporary local server on
http://localhost:8080. - Open your browser to WHOOP's consent screen (requesting recovery, sleep, cycle, workout,profile, body-measurement, and offline/refresh scopes).
- After you approve, WHOOP redirects back to
localhost:8080/callbackwith an authorization code. - The script exchanges that code for an access + refresh token and saves them to
token.json(gitignored) in the project root.
You only need to do this once. The MCP server automatically refreshes the access token using therefresh token when it expires (WHOOP access tokens last about 1 hour). If your refresh token isever revoked or expires, just re-run npm run login.
5. Connect to Claude Desktop
Open your Claude Desktop config file:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Note: if you installed Claude Desktop from the Microsoft Store, the file above may just be astub — the app actually reads
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\<Claude package folder>\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.If tools don't show up after following the steps below, check there.
Add a whoop entry under mcpServers. Replace the path below with the absolute path to thisproject's dist/server.js on your machine (find it with pwd on macOS/Linux or cd on Windowsfrom inside the project folder):
{
"mcpServers": {
"whoop": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/whoop-mcp/dist/server.js"]
}
}
}
⚠️ You must manually fill in this absolute path to wherever you cloned this repo. Use forwardslashes even on Windows (e.g.
C:/Users/you/whoop-mcp/dist/server.js) — they work fine insidethis JSON file.
Then fully restart Claude Desktop (quit from the system tray, not just close the window).
6. Test it
- In Claude Desktop, click the tools/hammer icon in the chat box and confirm you see
whoopwith6 tools listed:get_recovery,get_sleep,get_strain,get_workouts,get_profile,get_training_recommendation. - Try these prompts:
- "How was my recovery this week?"
- "Should I train hard today?"
- "How did I sleep the last 3 nights?"
- "Show me my workouts from the last 7 days."
- "What's my current strain and how does it compare to yesterday?"
- "What was my average strain in March 2026?" (historical range, not just "last N days")
- Spot-check one result (e.g. today's recovery score) against the WHOOP app to confirm the numbersmatch.
Tools reference
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_recovery(days | start+end) |
Recovery score, HRV, resting heart rate, SpO2, skin temp — plus an averages summary |
get_sleep(days | start+end) |
Sleep performance %, efficiency %, and stage breakdown (light/deep/REM) — plus an averages summary |
get_strain(days | start+end) |
Daily strain, average/max heart rate, calories per day — plus an averages/totals summary |
get_workouts(days | start+end) |
Logged workouts with sport, duration, strain, heart rate, calories — plus a summary |
get_profile() |
Name, email, height, weight, max heart rate |
get_training_recommendation() |
Combines today's recovery + last 3 days of sleep into a green/yellow/red training recommendation, with a sleep-debt warning if performance has been under 80% for 2+ nights |
The four range-based tools accept either days (rolling window, e.g. days=7 for the last week) oran explicit start/end date pair (YYYY-MM-DD, end exclusive) for querying a specific historicalperiod, e.g. start="2026-03-01", end="2026-04-01" for all of March 2026. Each returns a summaryobject (averages/totals) alongside the individual daily/nightly records.
Troubleshooting
- "No WHOOP tokens found" — run
npm run login. - 401 / token errors after working before — the server auto-refreshes access tokens; if you seea refresh failure, your refresh token was likely revoked (e.g. you removed app access in WHOOPsettings). Re-run
npm run login. - 403 Forbidden — your token is missing a scope. Scopes are fixed at login time, so re-run
npm run loginto get a fresh token with the full scope set. - 429 Too Many Requests — you've hit WHOOP's rate limit (100 requests/minute, 10,000/day). Waitand try again.
- Tools don't show up in Claude Desktop — double-check the absolute path in
claude_desktop_config.json, that you rannpm run build(the config points atdist/server.js,notsrc/server.ts), and that you fully restarted Claude Desktop.
