Claude MCP integration

Build workouts
in Claude. Run in Pacelab.

Describe the session you want and Claude builds it — real blocks, intervals and reps, saved straight to your Pacelab library and ready to run. It can see what you’ve already trained, so it builds around your week rather than guessing.

Requirements

Before you start

Setup

Three steps. About a minute.

First: you’ll need a free Pacelab account

Workouts Claude creates are saved to your library, so the connector signs you in. You can create an account in the Pacelab app, or directly on the sign-in screen during step 4 below — with an email address, or with Apple or Google.

In Claude Desktop

Add the connector

  1. 1 Go to Customize → Connectors.
  2. 2 Click Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. 3 Enter a name and the server URL: Name Pacelab Intervals URL https://pacelabintervals.com/mcp Leave the OAuth fields under Advanced settings empty.
  4. 4 Click Connect and sign in to Pacelab. Done — Claude can now build workouts straight into your library.

On Team or Enterprise plans an organisation Owner adds the connector once under Organization Settings → Connectors; members then connect their own account.

What you can ask Claude

Each of these does something real in your account — creating, editing, scheduling. Not just describing a workout in chat.

"Create a workout based on the other workouts I did this week."
"What have I been training lately? Build something that hits what I’m neglecting."
"Make me a 20-minute kettlebell EMOM and save it to my library."
"Swap the burpees for mountain climbers — my knees are sore."
"Schedule that for tomorrow at 7am."
"Turn it into a challenge my friends can join until Sunday."

Claude returns a share link — tap it on your phone to open the workout in Pacelab.
