How to connect Garmin to Claude
Claude can’t see your Garmin on its own. Daash is a free, hosted, open-source connector that links the two: add one address, sign in to Garmin, and Claude reads your runs, sleep and recovery and puts workouts on your watch. It works the same in ChatGPT.

If something doesn’t work
Free Claude allows one custom connector. Remove any others on claude.ai, where hidden ones show too, then add Daash again.

Questions
OTHER GUIDEConnect Garmin to ChatGPTUsing ChatGPT instead? Four steps, set up once on a computer.How the Garmin MCP server worksDoes it work on a free Claude account?
Yes. A free Claude account can add one custom connector, so if you already have another, remove it first on claude.ai, where hidden ones also show. Paid plans can add as many as they like. Daash itself is free.
Can Claude see my past runs?
Yes. Claude reads your Garmin Connect history: activities with their splits, heart rate and pace, plus sleep, HRV, training readiness, VO2 max and race predictions.
Is my Garmin password stored?
No. It goes straight to Garmin to sign you in. Daash keeps only the access token Garmin issues, encrypted, and disconnecting deletes it.
Does it work in the Claude phone app?
Yes. Add it once, on your phone or a computer, and it works everywhere you use Claude.
Can Claude change or delete my runs?
It never deletes a run or changes what your watch measured. When you ask, it can rename a run or add notes. Otherwise it writes only to your workout library: creating, scheduling and deleting planned workouts, and deleting always asks first.
Claude keeps asking permission before using Daash. Can I stop that?
Yes. In Claude's Settings, Connectors, Daash, set the read-only tools to Always allow. Anything that changes your Garmin calendar or workouts will still ask first.
Is this made by Garmin?
No. Daash is independent and isn't made or endorsed by Garmin. It connects to your own Garmin Connect account, with your permission.
