Connect Strava to Claude
With Strava connected to Blocks, Claude sees more than a list of activities: the intervals inside each ride, how it compares with what you planned, and a calendar it can plan on. Blocks syncs Strava and serves it to Claude as a free MCP connector.

Questions to start with
Questions
Can Claude read my Strava data?
Through a connector. Connect Strava in Blocks and add the Blocks connector to Claude; Claude then reads your synced activities, their intervals and your plan.
Is it free?
Yes. Blocks charges nothing for the connector, and Claude's Free plan allows one custom connector. The conversations run on your own Claude plan.
Will Claude change anything on Strava?
No. Claude reads your rides; what it writes is your Blocks training plan, and only after you agree.
Does it work with ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex?
Any client that can add a remote MCP server over HTTP with OAuth can use the same address.
I use intervals.icu too. Which should I connect?
Either works; intervals.icu also brings your planned events and wellness. See the intervals.icu guide.
