README

garmin-givemydata

It's YOUR data. Take it back. One command. All your Garmin data. Local SQLite + FIT files. Export to CSV, JSON, GPX, TCX. AI-ready via MCP.

Garmin makes it nearly impossible for individuals to access their own health data programmatically. There is no public API. The official "developer program" is restricted to approved businesses only. And in March 2026, Garmin deployed aggressive Cloudflare protections that broke every single community library — garth (deprecated), python-garminconnect (broken auth), and all downstream tools like Home Assistant integrations.

You paid for the hardware. You generated the data with your body. You should be able to access it.

This project gets your data out of Garmin Connect and into a local SQLite database where you own it and AI can analyze it through an MCP server for Claude Code.

48 tables, 10+ years of history, 45 MCP tools for AI analysis. Your data stays on your machine.

The Problem

No public API: Garmin's Connect Developer Program requires a business application. Individual developers are denied.
garth is dead: The most popular auth library was deprecated on March 28, 2026 after Garmin changed their SSO flow.
Bot detection: Garmin deployed aggressive bot detection that blocks all known Python HTTP libraries. Every existing workaround stopped working.
python-garminconnect is broken: Depends on garth for auth. Issue #332 has 40+ comments from affected users.
Connect+ paywall: Garmin launched a $7/month subscription and is restricting third-party access to features that compete with it.

Nobody should buy Garmin products until they open their API to the people who paid for the hardware.

Quick Start

Install

# macOS
brew install nrvim/tap/garmin-givemydata

# pip (Linux / Windows / macOS)
pip install garmin-givemydata

# or clone
git clone https://github.com/nrvim/garmin-givemydata.git
cd garmin-givemydata
bash setup.sh          # macOS / Linux
setup.bat              # Windows

Fetch your data

garmin-givemydata                    # fetches all historical data + FIT files

First run prompts for credentials, launches a headless browser, and fetches your full history (~30 min for 10 years). After that, daily syncs take seconds.

Connect AI

Add the MCP server to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client. The config depends on how you installed:

Claude Code (one-liner) — registers the server at user scope so it's available in every project:

# pip / brew install
claude mcp add -s user garmin -- garmin-mcp

# git clone
claude mcp add -s user garmin \
  -e GARMIN_DATA_DIR=/absolute/path/to/garmin-givemydata \
  -- /absolute/path/to/garmin-givemydata/venv/bin/python \
     /absolute/path/to/garmin-givemydata/run_
