Best for
  • Writing and research workflows that need spoken YouTube content as text
  • Users who want quick video information inside an MCP client
  • 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 that require downloading or playing the YouTube video itself
  • Environments where YouTube access is restricted and no proxy is configured
  • 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
  • Reading local environment variables (e.g. WEBSHARE_PROXY_USERNAME, WEBSHARE_PROXY_PASSWORD, HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY)
  • Network access to YouTube
  • Network access through a proxy server (if configured)
  • 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
  • YouTube may impose IP bans on the request source, causing requests to fail
  • Proxy credentials stored as environment variables or command line arguments may be readable by other processes on the machine
  • Transcripts are external untrusted content and may contain errors or injected text
  • Long transcripts can exceed model context limits and depend on pagination
  • 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
