whoop-mcp-server

Your WHOOP shows you charts. It can't answer "should I train hard today" or "what actually hurts my recovery". This server can.

It connects your WHOOP data to Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP client. You ask in plain English. It computes the answer from your own records and lets the AI explain it.

You: should I train hard today?

AI:  Recovery 81% (green). HRV trending up. Sleep debt cleared.
     Your 7-day load is 0.94x your 28-day base.
     You are conditioned for more.

Runs on your machine. Read-only. The only network peer is api.prod.whoop.com. No telemetry. MIT.

What you need

• A WHOOP account. Any membership works.
• uv or pipx, to install one command line tool.
• An MCP client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or ChatGPT.

One constraint to know before you start. WHOOP has no shared developer app, so during setup you create your own free one. It takes about two minutes of clicking, and it is the reason this is private by design: your tokens belong to your app, on your machine, and your health data never routes through anyone else's server. Including mine.

Set it up

Install the tool:

uv tool install whoop-mcp-server

(pipx install whoop-mcp-server works the same.)

Then run the one command that does everything:

whoop-mcp-server setup

Here is what happens, in order, so nothing surprises you:

1. Your WHOOP app. The wizard opens WHOOP's developer dashboard and tells you exactly what to click: create a team, create an app, enable every scope including offline, set the redirect URL to exactly http://localhost:8765/callback. The form requires a privacy policy URL. Use this repo's: https://github.com/rajdeepmondaldotcom/whoop-mcp-server/blob/main/PRIVACY.md. Copy the Client ID and Secret, paste them into the terminal. They're stored locally with 0600 permissions.

2. Authorize. Your browser opens WHOOP's consent screen. Approve it. Tokens land in ~/.whoop-mcp and refresh themselves from then on. You never do this again.

3. Proof. The wizard makes a live API call and prints your actual latest recovery. If anything is misconfigured, you find out here, in the terminal, not later in a chat window.

4. Your clients. It detects Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Claude Code, and writes their configs for you. Existing config is backed up before any edit. If Claude Desktop is running, the wizard asks to quit it first, because Desktop silently overwrites config edits made while it's open. Then it launches the configured command once and confirms the server answers. "Done" means verified, not hopeful.

Restart your client. Ask it: "How did I sleep last night?" Then ask the better question: "Give me the full picture of my health this quarter."

Two useful asides. If you want to see the tools work before connecting anything, whoop-mcp-server serve --demo serves 150 days of realistic generated data through the same pipeline. And if anything misbehaves later, whoop-mcp-server doctor names what's wrong and the fix.

What you can ask

24 tools cover every public user-readable endpoint in WHOOP's API, plus the analysis layer that turns records into answers.

Ask	Tool behind it
"Give me the full picture of my health"	get_health_overview: status, trends, training load, records, and correlations in one call
"How am I doing today?"	get_daily_summary: recovery, sleep, strain, workouts for any day
"What actually affects my recovery?"	get_correlations: strain vs next-morning recovery, sleep vs recovery, with plain readings
"Am I overtraining?"	get_strain_trends: acute vs chronic load, per-sport breakdown
"Is my HRV improving?"	get_recovery_trends: direction, confidence, unusual days
"Show my overnight heart rate curve"	get_sleep_stream: minute-level HR and skin temp, lowest point and when; include_raw=true keeps WHOOP's untouched stream
"This month vs last month?"	compare_periods: every metric, improved or declined
"My records this year?"	get_personal_records: bests, worsts, green streaks
"Export everything"	export_data: full collection history to local JSON and CSV, with raw records by default
Week grids, raw records, profile	get_weekly_report, get_sleeps/workouts/cycles/recoveries, by-id tools with include_raw, get_profile(include_raw=true)
"I have an old WHOOP activity id"	get_activity_mapping: map a legacy v1 activity id to its v2 UUID
Connection trouble	get_connection_status, connect_whoop_account

Dates are plain English everywhere: yesterday, last 30 days, this week, 2 years ago, 2026-05.

ChatGPT's required search and fetch tools are implemented too, plus 4 resources and 4 ready-made prompts (morning_readiness, weekly_review, sleep_coach, training_planner).

Works with

Client	Setup
Claude Desktop	whoop-mcp-server setup configures it for you. No terminal at all: download whoop-mcp-server.mcpb from the latest release and open it (needs uv installed; demo mode is a toggle in its settings)
Claude Code	claude mcp add whoop -- whoop-mcp-server serve (setup offers this too)
Cursor	auto via setup, or
Windsurf	auto via setup
VS Code	auto via setup, or
ChatGPT	remote connector, see below
Docker	docker build -t whoop-mcp-server . && docker run -i --rm -e WHOOP_MCP_DEMO=1 whoop-mcp-server (mount ~/.whoop-mcp for real data)
Any MCP client	command: whoop-mcp-server with args: ["serve"]. Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector whoop-mcp-server serve

<details> <summary><b>ChatGPT setup</b></summary>

ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers, so expose the HTTP transport and tunnel it:

whoop-mcp-server serve --transport http --port 8000    # endpoint: /mcp
ngrok http 8000

Then in ChatGPT: Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced settings, enable Developer mode, create a connector with https://<your-tunnel>/mcp and no auth.

Be careful here: a no-auth tunnel means anyone with the URL can read your health data. Keep the URL private and the tunnel short-lived. Claude's stdio setup never exposes anything.

Why the answers hold up

The model is maybe 20% of this product. The other 80% is making the numbers right. Models are bad at arithmetic over 90 days of records, so this server computes first and lets the model explain.

• Trend lines are fit to date-sorted series. WHOOP returns records newest-first. Fit arrival order instead and every trend reads backwards.
• Direction respects what the metric means. Rising HRV is improvement. Rising resting heart rate is not.
• Records land on calendar days using their own timezone offset. A sleep belongs to the morning you woke up, even when you travel.
• WHOOP rotates both OAuth tokens on every refresh. Refreshes here are serialized, saved before use, and shared across concurrent requests. Re-running auth rescues a live server without a restart.
• The client honors WHOOP's rate-limit headers, retries with backoff, and caps pagination. When a result is truncated or approximate, the output says so instead of pretending it's complete.

What it can't do: WHOOP's public API has no endpoints yet for Peak features like the stress monitor and healthspan. When WHOOP ships them, they land here. The overnight sensor stream isn't enabled for every account, and the tool reports that instead of failing. Bulk export intentionally fetches the collection endpoints; raw sleep streams are available per sleep with get_sleep_stream(include_raw=true).

105 tests, all offline against a faked WHOOP API. CI on Python 3.10 to 3.13.

CLI

whoop-mcp-server setup     Guided setup: app, authorize, auto-configure clients
whoop-mcp-server serve     Run the server (--demo, --transport stdio|http|sse, --host, --port)
whoop-mcp-server status    Config and token state
whoop-mcp-server doctor    Diagnose setup and connectivity
whoop-mcp-server auth      Scriptable OAuth flow
whoop-mcp-server logout    Delete tokens (--revoke also revokes at WHOOP)

Configuration

Nothing required after whoop-mcp-server setup. Overrides, in priority order: process env, ./.env, ~/.whoop-mcp/.env, ~/.whoop-mcp/config.json.

Variable	Default	Purpose
WHOOP_CLIENT_ID / WHOOP_CLIENT_SECRET	none	WHOOP app credentials
WHOOP_REDIRECT_URI	http://localhost:8765/callback	Must exactly match the dashboard
WHOOP_MCP_DEMO	off	1 serves demo data (same as --demo)
WHOOP_MCP_DIR	~/.whoop-mcp	Tokens, config, exports
WHOOP_MCP_TZ	system zone	IANA timezone for "today" and week bounds
WHOOP_MCP_CACHE_TTL / WHOOP_MCP_TIMEOUT	60 / 30	Seconds
WHOOP_MCP_LOG_LEVEL	INFO	Logs go to stderr. stdout belongs to MCP
WHOOP_ACCESS_TOKEN	none	Static token for testing, no refresh

Privacy

Read-only against WHOOP. Tokens stored locally with 0600 permissions. The only writes are local files you ask for (export_data) and the OAuth flow you trigger. One thing worth knowing: aggregates like trends and correlations can reveal more about you than single records. Connect this only to AI clients you trust with health data. Full policy: PRIVACY.md. Vulnerabilities: SECURITY.md.

Contributing

uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]" && pytest && ruff check .

The whole test suite runs offline. CONTRIBUTING.md lists the invariants that keep the data honest. The short version of the architecture: client.py talks to WHOOP, transform.py cleans the records, summaries.py and analytics.py do the math, server.py exposes the tools. oauth.py and tokens.py own auth. demo.py is the generated account.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
"WHOOP authorization required"	whoop-mcp-server setup, or ask your AI to connect your WHOOP account
Redirect fails after consent	The dashboard redirect URI must be exactly http://localhost:8765/callback
403 missing scope	Enable all read scopes plus offline on the app, then re-run whoop-mcp-server auth
Tools missing in a client	Re-run whoop-mcp-server setup, then fully restart the client
No recovery shown today	WHOOP scores it after you wake and sync. The summary says so
Sleep stream "not available"	WHOOP doesn't expose it for every account. Nightly summaries still work
Anything else	whoop-mcp-server doctor, or get_connection_status from chat, or open an issue
