Best for
  • Personal knowledge management that requires actual answers beyond search (synthesis + gap analysis)
  • Teams wanting to build shared institutional memory (with OAuth scoping)
  • AI agents needing persistent memory (automatic ingestion, enrichment, consolidation)
  • Hevy PRO users who want AI assistants to directly access their workout data
  • People who prefer using MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, Codex for fitness tracking
  • Anyone needing summaries and insights from their training data
Not for
  • Scenarios requiring real-time data streams (depends on scheduled syncs and crawling)
  • Users without API keys or willing to configure an embedding provider (requires at least one)
  • Users wanting a fully managed cloud service (requires self-hosting)
  • Users without a Hevy PRO subscription (API key required)
  • Users who want to use the server without an API key
  • Those needing delete workflows (Hevy API does not expose delete endpoints)
Required permissions
  • Read/write access to local filesystem (for brain repo and imports)
  • Network access to external APIs (unlocks embedding providers, LLMs, ingestion webhooks)
  • Environment variable access for API keys (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.)
  • Local database (PGLite or Postgres)
  • Requires HEVY_API_KEY environment variable for Hevy API authentication
  • Can create, update, and replace workouts, routines, folders, templates, and body measurements via tools
  • Read operations can fetch workouts, routines, folders, templates, history, and user info
Risks and side effects
  • Package confusion: the 'gbrain' package on npm is unrelated and may cause conflicts; install only from GitHub
  • Data privacy: local data is secure, but remote deployments must secure OAuth tokens and API keys
  • LLM costs: 'think' and synthesis features consume LLM API calls, incurring expenses
  • Performance issues: large brain syncs may take time or stall (troubleshooting provided)
  • API key can be misused if leaked; do not expose in URLs, logs, or screenshots
  • Create operations may produce duplicates on retry; update operations replace existing records
  • The server sends data to the Hevy API and may send telemetry to external services unless disabled
