In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when setting up the project, editing its environment file, logging in to Garmin Connect, running the server, or checking its tests.
Why use it?
They explain how to install, configure, authenticate, and run the server, including the required Garmin account settings and possible multi-factor authentication.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is LePomas/garminconnect-mcp's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on garminconnect-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything garminconnect-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

garminconnect-mcp GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Gemini Project Instructions: garminconnect-mcp

This project is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Garmin Connect data to AI agents (like Codex) using the python-garminconnect library.

Project Overview

  • Purpose: Provide a secure and summarized interface to Garmin Connect personal data.
  • Technologies: Python 3.12+, mcp (FastMCP), garminconnect, python-dotenv.
  • Architecture:
    • src/garminconnect_mcp/server.py: Main entry point and tool definitions using FastMCP.
    • Uses python-garminconnect for unofficial API access.
    • Implements a caching client with MFA support.
    • Focuses on providing summarized data for workouts and activities to be more agent-friendly and privacy-conscious.

Building and Running

Setup

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with GARMIN_EMAIL and GARMIN_PASSWORD

Running

  • Initialize/Refresh Tokens: Run .venv/bin/garminconnect-mcp login once interactively if MFA is required or to establish tokens.
  • MCP Server: The server runs over stdio via the same command: .venv/bin/garminconnect-mcp.

Testing & Quality

  • Tests: .venv/bin/python -m pytest
  • Linting: .venv/bin/python -m ruff check .
  • Formatting: .venv/bin/python -m ruff format .
  • Privacy Scan: scripts/check-private-output.sh (Requires rg)

Development Conventions

Privacy & Data Handling

  • Crucial: Never log, print, or commit raw Garmin payloads (profile, health, activity, etc.) unless explicitly requested by the user.
  • Connectivity Checks: Use garmin_connection_status or garmin_ping for smoke tests. Avoid using garmin_profile just to check if the connection works.
  • Summarization: Prefer returning summarized, task-specific data (especially for workouts) instead of full Garmin JSON blobs.
  • Pre-commit: Always run scripts/check-private-output.sh before committing any documentation, examples, or logs to ensure no private data (like weight, birthDate, or location) is leaked.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
