Developer builds a Garmin data Q&A app with Claude
What happened
On October 14, Hacker News featured a developer's practice of building a sports and health data Q&A app on the unofficial Garmin API and the Anthropic API. The author states plainly that the app is not a real MCP server. After authentication, it caches tokens locally in the user session, and Claude picks tools such as activity summary, activity detail, daily health, training status and body composition based on the user's question. The report also covers the author's discussion of possible unofficial MCP development, and the conflict between users wanting control of their data and platforms wanting to keep the interface and the data.
