Best for
  • Data analysts automating repetitive Excel workflows
  • Developers building Excel-based data solutions
  • Business users managing complex Excel workbooks
  • Teams maintaining Power Query/VBA/DAX code in Git
  • 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
  • Server-side data processing (use libraries like ClosedXML or EPPlus instead)
  • Linux or macOS users (Windows plus a local Excel install is required)
  • High-volume batch processing workloads
  • 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
  • Controls the local Excel.Application process via Windows COM automation
  • Requires exclusive access to the Excel workbook files it operates on
  • Creates and modifies workbook files (e.g. .xlsx) on disk during automation
  • 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
  • Drives a real local Excel process and edits real workbooks, so files should be backed up or version-controlled before automation
  • Supports running VBA macros, which can execute arbitrary code if the macro source is untrusted
  • Not an official Microsoft product — maintained by an independent community developer, not Excel or MCP's upstream owner
  • Requires exclusive workbook access, which can conflict with other processes that have the file open
  • 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
