Setup guide

Connect athletedata to Cursor

Add the athletedata MCP server to Cursor so you can query your training data inline while you work. Takes about a minute.

Heads up: Cursor MCP integrations require a paid Cursor plan (Pro or Business).
1

Open Cursor Settings

In the menu bar, click Cursor → Settings... → Cursor Settings.

Cursor menu showing Settings and Cursor Settings
2

Add a new MCP server

Click New MCP Server → Add a Custom MCP Server. Cursor opens the mcp.json file.

Grab the JSON config from your dashboard using the Copy JSON config button, then paste it into Cursor's mcp.json.

For reference, the config looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "athletedata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.athletedata.health/mcp?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Save and start using it

Save the file. Cursor picks up the new server automatically and the athletedata tools become available in the chat panel. Try asking:

What was my average HRV last week, and how does it compare to my 30-day baseline?
