TrainingPeaks MCP Server
Connect TrainingPeaks to Claude and other AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Query workouts, build structured intervals, manage your calendar, track fitness trends, and control your training through natural conversation.
No API approval required. The official Training Peaks API is approval-gated, but this server uses secure cookie authentication that any user can set up in minutes. Your cookie is stored in your system keyring, never transmitted anywhere except to TrainingPeaks.
What You Can Do
Ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Build me a 4x8min threshold session for Tuesday with warm-up and cool-down"
- "Schedule my mobility session for April 14, 2026 at 16:45"
- "Compare my FTP progression this year vs last year"
- "Copy last week's long ride to this Saturday"
- "Log my weight at 74.5kg and sleep at 7.5 hours"
- "What's my weekly TSS so far? Am I on track for my ATP target?"
- "Show my race calendar and how many weeks until my A race"
- "Set my FTP to 310 and update my power zones"
- "Add a calendar note for next Monday: rest day, travel"

Athlete Settings
| Tool |
Description |
tp_get_athlete_settings |
Get FTP, thresholds, zones, profile |
tp_update_ftp |
Update FTP for a sport's power set (bike default; preserves the set's calculation method) |
tp_update_hr_zones |
Update HR threshold/max/resting for a sport (general/bike/run/swim), preserving the method |
tp_update_speed_zones |
Update run/swim threshold pace, preserving the method |
tp_create_zones |
Create a NEW per-sport zone set from scratch (choose the calculation method); errors if one already exists |
tp_get_zone_methods |
List available zone-calculation methods per metric (power/HR/pace) with each method's zone count and labels |
tp_update_nutrition |
Update daily planned calories |
tp_get_pool_length_settings |
Get pool length options |
Zone updates — how they work & one limitation. The zone setters target the
right per-sport zone set (by workoutTypeId) and recompute the bands with
TrainingPeaks' own zone calculator (the same call the web UI's Calculate
makes), so the athlete's calculation method (%LTHR, Karvonen, Andy Coggan, …) is
honoured exactly. They update a threshold (FTP / LTHR / threshold pace).
Limitation — test-based (Distance/Time) methods. A zone set whose method
derives its threshold from a test result (Speed/Pace Distance / Time)
cannot have a threshold set directly — there is no stable value to set. These
tools detect that case and return TEST_BASED_METHOD (writing nothing) rather
than storing a wrong threshold; configure such a set via a test in the
TrainingPeaks UI. This is deliberate: the connector owns threshold-anchored
zones; test-protocol setup stays in the UI.

MCP Apps (inline charts)
On clients that support the MCP Apps extension (spec 2026-07-28), some tools render an
interactive UI inline in the conversation as well as returning their normal text payload.
On every other client the tools behave exactly as before - the text answer is always
complete on its own.
