MCP support
The connector uses the MCP server at `https://strength.almostfire.com/api/mcp` to connect to Almost Fire. After sign-in and authorization, it can read and change data in the user's own account.

Details
From the project READMEAlmost Fire for ChatGPT and Claude
Almost Fire makes strength-training plans and runs them with you. Ask for a plan and you get all 26 weeks from the engine the Almost Fire app uses: a split for the days you have, every session's exercises with sets, reps, rest and effort, a lighter week to finish each block, and gentler swaps for a shoulder, back or knee you want to protect. Print it, save it as a PDF or change it in the chat, and look up any exercise on the body map with its cues and swaps. None of that needs an account, and saving the plan to Almost Fire is free: the first time, it makes your account.
With your Almost Fire account you can run the plan from the chat: today's session with each set's target, logging sets, cardio and weigh-ins, logging a meal from a photo with its grams, calories and protein, and your progress graphs and Sunday review. Every change comes back with Undo.
It's for adults who want to get stronger in a gym or at home. Each plan carries stop rules for pain. It isn't medical advice, and it doesn't plan rehab, running or sport-specific training.
Try it
- "Make me a 3-day strength plan for building muscle." Then "Save it to Almost Fire."
- "How do I do a Romanian deadlift?"
- "What's my session today?" (asks you to sign in to Almost Fire the first time)
- "Log 60 kg for 8 reps on bench."
- "Log my lunch from a photo."

What it connects to and sends
The plugin connects to one server, https://strength.almostfire.com/api/mcp, run by Almost Fire.
- Without an account, a plan request sends the answers you give (days a week, goal, equipment, anything to protect) and an exercise lookup sends the exercise's name. Almost Fire doesn't keep them.
- With your account, the connector reads and changes only your own Almost Fire account, after you sign in to Almost Fire and allow the app. What you ask for (your plan, sessions, sets, food, weigh-ins and progress, and the meal photos you send) goes to ChatGPT or Claude to answer you. Apple Health numbers never go.
- Meal photos are read the same way the Almost Fire app reads them.
- Disconnect Almost Fire in ChatGPT's or Claude's settings at any time.

New to MCP?
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.
