Best for
  • Athletes who use Intervals.icu for training data.
  • Users who want to query and manage Intervals.icu data through Claude Desktop or ChatGPT.
  • Development or analysis workflows involving activity, wellness, event, and power data.
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Users who do not use Intervals.icu.
  • Users unwilling to provide an Intervals.icu API key and athlete ID.
  • Read-only scenarios where event or custom-item write and delete operations are not wanted.
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • Requires an Intervals.icu API key and athlete ID.
  • Configuration includes INTERVALS_API_BASE_URL, ATHLETE_ID, API_KEY, and LOG_LEVEL.
  • Permissions cover reading activities, wellness data, events, and custom items; events and custom items also support creation, updates, and deletion.
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • The API key is sensitive and should not be exposed or committed to a repository.
  • The server includes event and custom-item deletion tools, so misuse can cause data loss.
  • ChatGPT SSE setup requires a public server URL or port forwarding; an unprotected public endpoint may broaden access.
  • Write operations can modify workouts, races, notes, and custom items in Intervals.icu.
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
