MCP server

Bring your
own AI.

Your training data lives in Apex Zone. Your AI assistant lives somewhere else — and it already knows your calendar, your race goal, and the week you're having. Connect the two and ask it anything about your training, using your real sets, heart rate, and history.

Any MCP client

MCP is an open standard, so this isn't tied to one vendor. If your AI tool speaks MCP, it works with Apex Zone.

What it can and can't do

What your AI can see

  • Your workouts, plans, and training schedule
  • Every completed session, set by set, with heart rate
  • Personal records and lift progression over time
  • Body weight, measurements, and physique scores
  • Resting heart rate, HRV, sleep, and steps
  • Your nutrition log and calorie goal
  • Coaches: your roster, programs, squads, and client recovery data

What it can never do

  • Delete a workout, plan, or any of your history
  • Touch anything at all on a read-only connection
  • Reach another athlete you don't coach
  • Stay connected after you revoke it
  • Act without leaving a record — every change is logged and visible to you

Questions

Common questions

What is MCP?

MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is an open standard that lets an AI assistant connect to an outside service and use it as a tool. Apex Zone runs an MCP server, so an AI like ChatGPT or Claude can read your training data and act on it, with your permission. You don't need to understand the protocol to use it; the app hands you a URL and walks you through connecting.

Does this work with ChatGPT?

Yes. Add https://apexzone.app/mcp as a connector in ChatGPT and sign in with your Apex Zone account. The same URL works in Claude. For Claude Code, Cursor, and other developer tools, the app also gives you a token and a copy-paste command.

Does it cost extra?

No — it's included with Apex Zone Pro at no additional cost. Your AI assistant runs on your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription, so the thinking is paid for on that side. Apex Zone just provides the data, which costs us almost nothing. That's why we can include it rather than metering it.

Can I make it read-only?

Yes, and you choose per connection. A read-only connection can analyze everything and change nothing — the tools that write aren't even offered to it, so there's nothing for an AI to get wrong. You can keep a read-only connection for analysis and a separate read-and-write one for when you want it building workouts.

Is my data safe?

Your data goes only to the AI service you choose to connect, and only once you've connected it — we ask you to confirm that explicitly first. No Apex Zone connection can delete a workout, a plan, or your history, whatever an AI is told to do. Every change made through a connection is logged where you can see it, and revoking a connection takes effect immediately.

I coach other people. Can I connect my roster?

Yes. Coaches can create a roster connection from the trainer portal, which lets your AI read across your athletes — adherence, recent sessions, recovery trends — and, if you allow writing, assign programs and message clients. It can only ever reach athletes on your active roster.

What if I lose my token?

Tokens are shown once and stored encrypted, so we can't show it to you again. Revoke that connection and create a new one — it takes a few seconds, and the old token stops working the moment you revoke it.

Your AI. Your training data.

Apex Zone tracks lifting and heart-rate conditioning in one place, with an AI coach built in. Connect your own AI on top of it — included with Pro.
