What this lets you do
Mine years of Strava from the ChatGPT browser tab
Ask ChatGPT to surface trends from your real training — compare seasons, find your fastest 5K splits, see how your easy pace has shifted — without leaving the browser or exporting anything.
Plan from real data, not a generic template
Templates assume you. Shape and ChatGPT use your actual paces and heart-rate zones to build a week, so the workouts match where your fitness really is.
Plan the next block in plain English
Say "I want to run a half in 12 weeks" or "build me a base block for cycling". ChatGPT reads your Strava history and Shape turns the answer into a real calendar.
Setup in 3 steps
- 1
Sign up for Shape and connect Strava
Sign up for Shape (14-day free trial included) and connect Strava via OAuth. We'll pull your activity history including pace, HR and elevation, so the AI has something real to work with.
- 2
Add Shape as a connector in ChatGPT
In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP server. Enter https://shapecalendar.com/mcp as the server URL, give it a name like "Shape", and click connect. ChatGPT opens a Shape consent screen, you approve it, and that's it. No token to copy. Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan.

Start using it
Open a new chat, enable the Shape connector from the tools menu, and try one of the prompts below. You'll know it's working when a planned workout pops up on your watch.
Example prompts
- Look at my last 30 days of Strava activity. How's my training load trending? Honest answer please.
- What's my average easy-run pace this year compared to last year, based on Strava?
- Plan me a 4-week base block using my actual Strava pace data, not generic zones.
- Find every run I did above threshold pace in the last 60 days. I want to see if I've been overcooking it.
- Sum up my last three long runs. Am I actually trending in the right direction?
- Build me a 10-week half marathon plan based on my Strava history. Race is June 15th.
- Compare this month's volume to the same month last year. Be honest.
- Looking at my recent training, what's a sensible long run for this Sunday?
What makes Shape different
- Reads your full Strava activity history (runs, rides, swims, whatever you log), so the AI actually has something real to work with.
- Plays nice with watches. Connect Garmin, Wahoo or Apple Health and planned workouts show up on your device, ready to start with one tap.
- One calendar, every sport. Apple Health workouts mix with planned runs, rides and structured sessions in Shape.
