RunDida — Running Tools for AI Agents

@rundida/mcp-server

MCP server for RunDida — running expertise for AI agents.

Ten tools that let Claude, Cursor or any MCP client compute paces, heart-rate zones, race predictions and marathon countdowns live, and query RunDida's full library: 99 running calculators, 56 training guides and 300+ marathon events (course, weather and registration data) — in English, Chinese and Japanese. Free, zero-config, no API key.

Quick Start

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@rundida/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add rundida -- npx -y @rundida/mcp-server

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP configuration:

Example Usage

Ask your AI assistant:

• "What's my marathon pace if I want to finish in 3:30?"
• "Predict my marathon time based on my 10K of 45 minutes"
• "What are my heart rate zones? I'm 32 with a resting HR of 52"
• "How many days until the Tokyo Marathon?"
• "Show me all running calculators related to nutrition"
• "What running guides do you have about marathon training?"
• "Tell me about the couch to 5K guide"
