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.

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

Every tool carries a display title and readOnlyHint / destructiveHint annotations; a client can tell reads from writes and from deletes.

Read

Tool	Description
check_connection	Verify the connection and return basic account info (name, subscription, whether you have an active routine and logged workouts).
get_user_profile	The user's coaching profile: goal, experience level, target training days/week (the active routine's frequency, plus the onboarding answer), equipment preference, height (cm) and weight (kg) with the units the user displays, timezone, member-since — to tailor advice to their background and constraints.
get_training_snapshot	Compact overview of your training setup: profile, active routine, next workout, last 10 sessions, and strength records.
list_routines	List all your routines with IDs, template IDs, frequency, and which one is active.
get_routine	Get one routine with its template names and exercise summaries.
list_templates	List all your workout templates (names and IDs).
get_template	Get one template with its full exercise list, set prescriptions (reps, weight, RIR), and per-exercise coaching notes.
list_workouts	List recent workouts as summaries with aggregate analytics (volume, sets, reps).
get_workout	Get one workout with full set-level data (weight, reps, RIR, set type) and computed metrics.
search_exercises	Search the exercise catalog by name or keyword; returns name, ID, muscle groups, equipment and ubiquity (core | common | rare — how likely a typical gym is to have it).
get_strength_climb	Your Strength Climb — the headline strength-progress signal at the top of the Intelligence tab: median % gain across qualifying lifts, per-state counts (climbing/holding/stalling/deloading/building), the leading lift, the climb line, and per-lift constituents. The PRIMARY strength signal — prefer it over the deprecated training score.
get_training_insights	AI-generated insights and your latest weekly review: observations, guardrail alerts, fatigue, balance, trends, the strength_climb, training_context (volume completion, adherence, fatigue), and per-muscle muscle_volume (hard sets + zone). Also carries the deprecated training score (0-10) for now — prefer strength_climb + training_context.
get_muscle_state	A muscle group's synthesized assessment: weekly sets (primary + ½ synergist) with volume zone + MEV/MAV/MRV landmarks, effective volume, fatigue (ACWR), plateau status, e1RM trends, periodization phase, per-muscle strength_climb, and reasoning.
get_muscle_group_progress	Raw weekly progress series for a muscle group (volume, set counts, e1RM) for charting and analysis.
get_exercise_progress	Up to 8 weeks of progress for a specific lift: weekly e1RM trend, personal records, plateau detection, last session, the authoritative strength_state (progressing/holding/stalling) matching the iOS lift detail page, strength_climb (indexed_pct + now-vs-baseline e1RM), all-time bests, and each progression-line member with its own bests. hard_sets is fractional hard-set credit.
list_trained_exercises	Enumerate the exercises you have actually trained: exercise IDs, training frequency, recency, e1RM trend coverage (can_trend + why not), and a data_quality summary — use it to pick a valid exercise_id before get_exercise_progress and to see which lifts have enough data to trend.
query_sets	Query raw set-level data with flexible filters (exercise, muscle group, muscle, IDs) for custom analysis or export.
explain_rule	The evidence behind one of Povver's training rules (how sets are counted, when weight or reps go up, why a weight dropped, the comeback after a break): the rule, why, what it means for you, and the research it comes from. The same cards the in-app coach answers from; an unknown topic returns the topic index.
get_training_status	Lightweight status: weekly adherence vs goal, next scheduled workout, last workout date, and days since training.
get_periodization_plan	Get your current periodization plan: auto-generated or authored (Claude-authored override). Returns the plan structure, phases, day templates, and status.

Recommendations

Tool	Description
get_recommendations	Get pending training recommendations with rationale and confidence.
review_recommendation	Accept, reject, or revert a recommendation — mutations are immediate.

Memory

Tool	Description
list_memories	List your memories filtered by category (injury, preference, goal, personal) and status.
get_memory	Get full details on a single memory, including status history and severity.
get_recent_suppressions	List recommendations that were suppressed by injury memories, with the reasons.
update_memory_status	Update an injury memory's lifecycle status (active, monitoring, resolved) with an audit note.
save_injury_memory	Report a new injury or pain (body area, severity, affected exercises) so it influences training.

Write — routines

Tool	Description
create_routine	Create a routine from existing template IDs (your first routine becomes active automatically).
update_routine	Update a routine's name, frequency, or template order.
set_active_routine	Set which routine is active (it determines your next workout).
delete_routine	Permanently delete a routine (its templates are not deleted).

Write — templates

Tool	Description
create_template	Create a workout template with exercises, set prescriptions, and a per-exercise coaching note.
update_template	Update a template's name, description, or exercise list (including each exercise's coaching note).
delete_template	Permanently delete a template and remove it from any routines.

Write — workouts

Tool	Description
create_workout	Record up to 25 completed workouts — log a finished session, or import training history. Idempotent on a caller-supplied client_ref.
update_workout	Correct a recorded workout. Only the fields you supply change; everything else is left as it is.
delete_workout	Permanently delete a logged workout and its analytics data.

Write — periodization

Tool	Description
set_periodization_plan	Author a periodization policy that steers your existing routine (progression rule, phases, deload). CANNOT define exercises/sets — use update_template for those.
preview_periodization_plan	Preview a plan before committing (validates the policy, no mutations).
pause_periodization_plan	Pause an authored plan and return to auto-periodization (lossless — your policy is retained).
resume_periodization_plan	Re-activate a paused authored plan (no need to re-author).
