hevy-mcp: Model Context Protocol Server for Hevy Fitness API

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that interfaces with the Hevy fitness tracking app and its API. This server enables AI assistants to access and manage workout data, routines, exercise templates, and more through the Hevy API (requires PRO subscription).

Features

• Workout Management: Fetch, create, and update workouts
• Routine Management: Access and manage workout routines
• Exercise Templates: Browse available exercise templates
• Folder Organization: Manage routine folders

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v20 or higher)
• npm or yarn
• A Hevy API key

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install hevy-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @chrisdoc/hevy-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/chrisdoc/hevy-mcp.git
cd hevy-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create .env file from sample
cp .env.sample .env
# Edit .env and add your Hevy API key

Integration with Cursor

To use this MCP server with Cursor, you need to update your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file by adding the following configuration:

{
  "hevy-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "hevy-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "HEVY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

Make sure to replace your-api-key-here with your actual Hevy API key.

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root (you can copy from .env.sample) with the following content:

HEVY_API_KEY=your_hevy_api_key_here

Replace your_hevy_api_key_here with your actual Hevy API key.

Usage

Development

npm run dev

This starts the MCP server in development mode with hot reloading.

Production

npm run build
npm start

Development Guide

Code Style

This project uses Biome for code formatting and linting:

npm run check

Testing

Run All Tests

To run all tests (unit and integration), use:

npm test

Note: If the HEVY_API_KEY environment variable is set, integration tests will also run. If not, only unit tests will run.

Run Only Unit Tests

To run only unit tests (excluding integration tests):

npx vitest run --exclude tests/integration/**

Or with coverage:

npx vitest run --coverage --exclude tests/integration/**

Run Only Integration Tests

To run only the integration tests (requires a valid HEVY_API_KEY):

npx vitest run tests/integration

Note: The integration tests will fail if the HEVY_API_KEY environment variable is not set. This is by design to ensure that the tests are always run with a valid API key.

GitHub Actions Configuration

For GitHub Actions:

1. Unit tests will always run on every push and pull request
2. Integration tests will only run if the HEVY_API_KEY secret is set in the repository settings

To set up the HEVY_API_KEY secret:

1. Go to your GitHub repository
2. Click on "Settings" > "Secrets and variables" > "Actions"
3. Click on "New repository secret"
4. Set the name to HEVY_API_KEY and the value to your Hevy API key
5. Click "Add secret"

If the secret is not set, the integration tests step will be skipped with a message indicating that the API key is missing.

Generating API Client

The API client is generated from the OpenAPI specification using Kiota:

npm run export-specs
npm run build:client
