Povver — Strength Training

Povver MCP Server

Connect your AI assistant to your Povver strength-training data — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Read workout history, track strength progress, analyze muscle-group volume, and manage routines and templates from a conversation.

Endpoint: https://mcp.povver.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1) Docs: https://mcp.povver.ai/ · /llms.txt · /llms-full.txt Requires: a Povver account with a premium subscription (iOS app)

This is a hosted, remote server — there is nothing to install. Sign in with your Povver account when your client prompts you.

Povver also publishes strength calculators: RPE and RIR, one rep max, DOTS, FFMI, strength standards and weekly sets, each with its method and sources.

API key (automation, scripts, n8n)

In the Povver app: More → Integrations → Developer access → create a key, then send it as a Bearer token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer pvk_your_key_here" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' \

Example prompts

• "Act as my strength coach: review my recent training, find my biggest weakness, and update my program to fix it."
• "How's my bench press trending over the last 8 weeks — am I still progressing or have I plateaued?"
• "Break down my weekly training volume by muscle group. Where am I under-training?"
• "What should I train today?"

Available tools

One tool per kind of thing (your context, plans, workouts, the session in progress, analysis, exercises, memory, periodization). Each takes a view (reads) or an action (writes) and only that choice's fields. Every tool carries a display title and readOnlyHint / destructiveHint annotations, and delete is the only destructive one.

Changed in 2.0.0: the single-purpose tools of 1.x were consolidated into these (get_workout is now read_workouts with view: detail, create_template is save_plan with action: create_template, and so on), and explain_rule became the resource povver://rules/{rule_id}. The old names are not kept as aliases: a saved prompt that names one needs the new name. Clients pick up the new list when they reconnect.

Read (safe to call freely)

Tool	Description
get_context	Start here. Who you are and where your training stands: a snapshot (profile, active routine, next workout, last 10 sessions, strength records), your coaching profile (goal, experience, days per week, equipment, units), or a connection check.
read_plans	Your routines and workout templates: the full prescription (sets, reps, weight, RIR, coaching notes, supersets), plus Povver's evidence-based starter programmes.
read_workouts	Your finished workouts: recent summaries with volume, or one session with set-level data and your own notes.
analyze_training	Povver's analysis, by question: the Strength Climb (are you getting stronger?), weekly insights, muscle-group volume and fatigue, one lift's progress and bests, raw set queries, the lifts you train, adherence, and pending recommendations.
exercises	Search the exercise catalog in plain language, or read one exercise's muscles, equipment and execution notes.
read_memory	What you asked Povver to remember (injuries, preferences, goals), and which progressions an injury held back.
read_periodization	Your periodization plan, or a preview of a plan before it is saved.
read_live_workout	The workout in progress right now: every exercise and set, the next set, and the version to send with a change.

Write (change your data)

Tool	Description
save_plan	Create or edit routines and templates, or set the active routine. Returns the saved routine or template.
log_workout	Record finished workouts (a session you just did, or history imported from another app; safe to retry) or correct one.
live_workout	Act on the workout in progress: log sets, swap or add an exercise, change a planned set, pair a superset, finish the session. Several actions in one call.
manage_periodization	Author a periodization policy that steers your routine, or pause and resume it.
manage_memory	Report an injury, update its status, or accept or reject a recommendation.
delete	Permanently delete a workout, routine or template.
