Claude Desktop WorkoutX Exercise API generate_workout
How to: Claude Desktop WorkoutX Exercise API generate_workout
Add WorkoutX Exercise API to Claude Desktop
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"workoutx": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://api.workoutxapp.com/mcp"
]
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
-
03
Ask for something generate_workout does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls generate_workout itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that WorkoutX Exercise API's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Set these first
WorkoutX Exercise API will not start until these are set, so generate_workout never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 29 October 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
