Strava Integration

Cadence connects to Strava via OAuth2 to pull activities, athlete stats, and training zones.

Setup

1. Create a Strava API App

1. Go to Strava API Settings
2. Create a new application
3. Set the authorization callback domain to your server:
   • Local development: localhost
   • Production: your domain

2. Configure Environment Variables

STRAVA_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
STRAVA_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
STRAVA_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8000/auth/strava/callback

3. Authorize

Navigate to http://localhost:8000/auth/strava in your browser. You'll be redirected to Strava to authorize, then back to your server.

Cross-Platform Behavior

When both Strava and Garmin are connected:

• Activities: The unified get_activities tool merges data from both sources with duplicate detection
• Running volume: get_running_volume tries Garmin first, falls back to Strava
• Athlete stats: get_athlete_stats is Strava-only (Garmin doesn't expose equivalent totals)
• Training zones: get_training_zones pulls from Strava's zone configuration
