Tools
Details
From the project READMEHome Fitness Exercise Library
Find a home fitness exercise and open a video demonstration at its reviewed timestamp. Search by name, alias, equipment or muscle. Bodyweight, dumbbell and kettlebell variations are identified separately.
Provided by Joy2Move, operated by SC GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE SRL. No Joy2Move account, API key or payment is required. This package connects to a public read-only catalog, with no access to profiles, subscriptions or workout history.
Status
The public Claude endpoint is live. Search, interactive exercise cards and Mux playback have been tested in Claude. On 4 October 2026, a fresh bodyweight wall-sit card played at 1920×1080 from the reviewed timestamp and stopped after 15 seconds. Mobile playback has not yet been separately verified. Directory submission is being completed; this is not yet an approved directory listing.
Test locally
With a current Claude Code installation, from the root of this package:
claude plugin validate . --strict
claude --plugin-dir .
Then ask:
- Show me a kettlebell Romanian deadlift demonstration.
- Show me a wall sit without weights.
- Show me a wall sit and let me choose the equipment.
- Find bodyweight exercises for my core.
- Show me a dead bug demonstration and its full workout.
The tools are search_exercises and get_exercise. Claude shows an interactive exercise card with equipment details and links to the demonstration, exercise page and full workout. The Claude card uses Mux for inline playback at the reviewed timestamp and pauses after 15 seconds. The Full workout on YouTube button opens the complete source video. There is no separate YouTube demonstration or fallback. ChatGPT uses the same Mux-only preview and full-workout link. Terminal clients receive exercise-page and full-workout links. No browser security settings need to be changed.
Content and limitations
Each demonstration is 15 seconds. Stored timestamps already include a four-second offset from the source chapter. Frame review verifies equipment and timestamp selection, not certified technique or medical suitability. Results are limited to the catalog; unavailable exercises or removed videos must not be invented. This tool cannot diagnose injuries, prescribe rehabilitation, change accounts or take payments.
Data and support
The remote service receives exercise searches, filters and slugs. It does not store searches in the Joy2Move database. Mux is contacted when a user plays an inline demonstration in Claude. YouTube is contacted only when the user follows the full-workout link. Website links use utm_source=claude without a user or conversation identifier. Hosting providers may process technical request data. See the privacy policy and terms.
Support: [email protected]. Report the exercise name and issue, without credentials or medical records.
Publishing
Source: https://github.com/AG-ITAcademy/home-fitness-exercise-library. Directory submission requires a paid Claude plan and a GitHub connection with write access. The remote MCP connector is submitted separately through the same developer portal.
License
MIT applies only to this repository's plugin configuration, icon and instructions. The remotely hosted Joy2Move application, exercise catalog and videos are not included and are not licensed under this package's MIT license.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
