What the code does
We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(cmd, args, { stdio: "inherit", ...opts });
ENV WHOOP_TOKEN_STORE=memory

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

}Put your own values in place of
<WHOOP_IOS_BEARER_TOKEN> (Whoop Cognito access token. Obtain via `totem auth` from the repo, which prompts for your Whoop email + password + SMS MFA code, then writes both tokens to a local .env. Auto-refreshes every ~24h), <WHOOP_COGNITO_REFRESH_TOKEN> (Whoop Cognito refresh token (~30 day lifetime). Obtained alongside the bearer token from `totem auth`. When this expires, run `totem auth` to get a fresh pair), <WHOOP_EMAIL> (Your Whoop account email. Used only by `totem auth` — the running server reads tokens, not credentials).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
WHOOP_USER_ID (Your numeric Whoop user ID. Optional — used by whoop_profile and whoop_leaderboard. Avoids one redundant bootstrap call per session if set), WHOOP_TIMEZONE (IANA timezone (e.g., America/Los_Angeles) for response timestamps. Optional — if unset, the server auto-detects from your Whoop profile's timezone_offset field (refreshed hourly)).
