Strava
Track and manage Strava activities, athlete data, routes, segments, and club activity from chat via the Strava API.
This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Strava API access yourself.

Install
Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Strava again."
Quick Start
clawlink_call_tool --tool "strava_get_athlete" --params '{}'
clawlink_call_tool --tool "strava_list_activities" --params '{"limit": 10}'
clawlink_call_tool --tool "strava_get_activity" --params '{"activity_id": "ACTIVITY_ID"}'
Authentication
All Strava tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Strava account OAuth token.
No API token is required in chat. ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Strava API request on the user's behalf.
Getting Connected
- Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
- Pair the plugin with
clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
- Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=strava and connect Strava.
- Call
clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.
Connection Management
List Connections
clawlink_list_integrations
Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for strava in the list.
Verify Connection
clawlink_list_tools --integration strava
Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Strava.
Reconnect
If Strava tools are missing or the connection shows an error:
- Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=strava
- After they confirm, call
clawlink_list_integrations to verify
- Then call
clawlink_list_tools --integration strava
Security & Permissions
- Access is scoped to the Strava account connected during OAuth setup and the scopes granted.
- Write operations (create activity, upload files, update settings) require explicit user confirmation.
- Activity upload requires the user to own the data being uploaded.
- Club management operations may require club admin privileges.

Discovery Workflow
- Call
clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Strava is connected.
- Call
clawlink_list_tools --integration strava to see the live catalog.
- Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
- If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call
clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration strava.
- If no Strava tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=strava.
Execution Workflow
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ READ OPERATIONS (Safe) │
│ list → get → explore → describe │
│ │
│ Example: List activities → Get activity streams → Analyze │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation) │
│ describe → preview → confirm → call │
│ │
│ Example: Preview activity upload → User approves → Upload │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call
clawlink_describe_tool first.
- Use the returned guidance, schema,
whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
- Prefer read, list, get, and explore operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
- For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call
clawlink_preview_tool first.
- Execute with
clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
- If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.
Notes
- Activity uploads (FIT, GPX, TCX) are processed asynchronously — check upload status with
strava_get_upload_status.
- Segment explore uses bounding box coordinates:
[southwest_lat, southwest_lng, northeast_lat, northeast_lng].
- Activity privacy controls may hide some data from API responses for private activities.
- Upload file size limits apply — compressed FIT files are preferred over raw GPX for large activities.
- Heart rate and power data availability depends on the device used to record the activity.
- Activity types include:
run, ride, swim, workout, hike, walk, and others.
Error Handling
| Status / Error | Meaning |
|---|
| Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration strava. |
| Missing connection | Strava is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=strava. |
Activity not found | The activity ID does not exist or belongs to another athlete. |
Segment not found | The segment ID does not exist in Strava's database. |
Upload in progress | The file upload is still being processed. Check status with strava_get_upload_status. |
Upload failed | The file format is invalid or the upload processing failed. |
403 Forbidden | The connected account lacks permission for this operation. |
Rate limited | Too many requests — wait before retrying. |
| Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |
Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible
- Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
openclaw plugins list
- If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send
/new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
- If a fresh chat does not help, run:
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
- After restart, tell the user to send
/new again and retry.
Troubleshooting: Upload Fails
- Confirm the file is a valid FIT, GPX, or TCX format.
- Check the file size — very large files may fail to process.
- Wait and poll
strava_get_upload_status — processing can take several seconds for large files.
- Verify the activity data is valid (GPS coordinates, timestamps).
