Available tools 20

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

exercise

find_exercise_alternatives

Ranked swaps that train the same muscles, e.g. when equipment is missing. Optionally require or exclude equipment.

get_exercise

One exercise by v2 id: instructions, tips, muscles, equipment, sets/reps guidance, calories and signed media links.

get_exercise_media

Fresh signed MP4 and thumbnail links for one exercise (links expire; call again rather than storing them).

list_exercise_filters

Every valid value (with counts) for body parts, target muscles, equipment, categories and muscles. Call this before search_exercises when unsure of a value.

generate

generate_program

A multi-week program with periodisation, deloads and weekly volume targets. Needs the Scale plan.

generate_types

Ready-to-paste TypeScript, Swift (Codable), Kotlin (kotlinx.serialization) or Dart models for v2 responses, generated from the OpenAPI spec. Uses one request.

generate_workout

One complete session built from movement patterns: warm-up, main work with sets/reps/rest, cool-down and swap suggestions. Needs the Growth plan or higher.

api

check_api_key

Confirm the configured API key works and show the plan and remaining quota. Uses one request.

code

get_code_example

A working snippet for a platform and task: listing and paging exercises, playing the looping MP4 and refreshing its signed link, the workout generator, error and rate-limit handling, or a backend proxy that keeps your key off the device. Uses one request.

diagnose

diagnose_request

Paste a failing WorkoutX request (curl, URL or "GET /v2/...") and optionally the status and response body: explains what is wrong (wrong host, key in the URL, missing header, unknown or repeated parameter, invalid value, v1 id, plan gate, rate limit, quota, expired media link) and how to fix it. Only reads the text; never sends the request. Uses one request.

endpoint

get_endpoint_reference

Parameters, response shape, errors and a curl example for any v2 endpoint, straight from the OpenAPI spec. Call with no endpoint to list them all. Uses one request.

estimate

estimate_calories

Calories burned for an exercise from its MET value, body weight and duration.

exercises

search_exercises

Search 1,900+ exercises. Filters are optional and case-insensitive; combining two or more filters needs the Starter plan or higher. Results include instructions, tips, muscles, equipment, difficulty, calories and signed MP4/thumbnail links.

export

export_exercise_seed

Exercise ids, names, muscles and equipment without media, as JSON or CSV, to seed your own database or fixtures. Does not use the distinct-exercise media limit. Page with offset; plan caps per call apply (Free 10, Starter 100, others 200).

map

map_v1_exercise

Find the v2 exercise for an old v1 id (e.g. "0025"), with the match quality: exact, equivalent, alternative, closest or none.

similar

find_similar_exercises

Exercises most similar to the given one (same pattern, muscles and equipment), ranked by score.

supplement

get_supplement_stack

A recommended stack for a goal with dosages and timing. Needs the Scale plan.

supplements

search_supplements

Supplements with evidence ratings, dosage and timing. Filter by category, goal, timing, evidence or free text. Needs the Growth plan or higher.

trending

get_trending_exercises

The exercises and filters (body parts, muscles, equipment, categories) requested most across WorkoutX apps in the last 30 days. Anonymised: only values at least 3 different accounts asked for, filters as shares. Good for deciding what to feature in an app. Uses one request.

usage

get_usage_stats

Your account's API usage: requests, success rate, response times (avg and p95), errors by status code, top endpoints, daily counts, live quota, rate limit and media-limit usage. Use it to answer "why am I getting 429s?" or "when will my quota run out?". Uses one request.

WorkoutX Exercise API — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can WorkoutX Exercise API do?

It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_api_key, diagnose_request, estimate_calories, export_exercise_seed, find_exercise_alternatives, find_similar_exercises and 14 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is WorkoutX Exercise API mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around exercise and generate. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is WorkoutX Exercise API working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 281 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect WorkoutX Exercise API?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does WorkoutX Exercise API need an API key?

No. WorkoutX Exercise API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 20 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is WorkoutX Exercise API?

It answers our handshake in 281 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use WorkoutX Exercise API?

The npm package workoutx-mcp was installed 322 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is WorkoutX Exercise API open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at api.workoutxapp.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
