Direct tool access

Set up Claude + MCP

Claude connects directly to Montis through Model Context Protocol. Once connected, Montis tools can be used from normal Claude conversations.

Add the Montis MCP server

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Give it a name and enter the Montis MCP URL, then click Continue.

https://montis.icu/mcp

Add the Montis MCP connector: name and URL — Name it and enter `https://montis.icu/mcp`.

Choose "Sign in now"

Claude often auto-detects No sign-in and shows a warning. Change Authentication to Sign in now — the Montis tools need you signed in.

No client ID is needed: leave the OAuth client setting as it is and click Add. Claude identifies itself to Montis automatically. Set Montis up earlier with the client ID intervals-mcp? That keeps working.

Change Authentication from the detected No sign-in to Sign in now — Do not accept the detected *No sign-in* — pick **Sign in now**.

Authorise Intervals.icu

Claude will start the Montis OAuth flow.

Approve your Intervals.icu athlete connection when prompted.

Already signed in to Montis at montis.icu/app? This step is skipped — Claude connects straight through using your existing session.

Authorise Intervals.icu for Claude MCP — The same athlete identity is used across Montis interfaces.

Confirm Montis tools are available

Once connected, the Montis tools appear under the connector's tool permissions — around 37 read-only tools, plus the calendar write tools which ask for approval before any change.

Montis MCP tool permissions listed in Claude — Read-only tools run on request; calendar changes need approval.

Add the Montis Skills (recommended)

Skills give Claude the Montis coaching method and the structured plan builder on top of the raw tools. They are available on every Claude plan. First enable Settings → Capabilities → Code execution & file creation, then upload each skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

montis-coaching-claude-skill.zip — coaching, activity analysis and calendar workflows. Use /montis-coaching.
montis-plan-builder-claude-skill.zip — multi-week, block-periodised training plans. Use /montis-plan-builder.

Both skills use the Montis MCP connection from the steps above, so add the connector first.

Start a Claude conversation

With the skills installed, begin a message with /montis-coaching or /montis-plan-builder — or just ask in plain language. Claude uses the Montis tools and the coaching method together.

/montis-coaching what can you do?
/montis-coaching run my weekly report
/montis-plan-builder build a 6-week plan to my next race

Using the montis-coaching skill in a Claude conversation — Start with `/montis-coaching` to load the coaching skill.

You're connected

Now put your training data to work.

Start with a report, then use Montis to question the findings, understand what is changing and decide what should happen next.
