Install YOUB and set it up
Download the app, create an account and walk through onboarding: your sports, your next goal, and how much time you actually have in a week. It takes a few minutes, and everything after it builds on those answers.
Try YOUB with your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription.
From download to your first plan
Connect your data sources
Link Garmin, Strava, WHOOP, Oura, Polar, Suunto or Wahoo. From then on your sessions and recovery numbers arrive on their own, and those are exactly the data we work with later.
Connect Claude
In your assistant, add a custom MCP connector and enter mcp.youb.app as the URL. Your browser shows a QR code: scan it with your phone, check in the YOUB app what we're asking for, and confirm with the six-digit code. Phone not at hand? An emailed code works too.
Let it plan and analyze
Now you just ask, in the chat you already use, about yesterday's session, about where your form stands eight weeks out from the race. And once you grant write access, we put the next sessions straight into your plan.
Tested with Claude — web, desktop and Claude Code. In principle any client that can add custom MCP servers over HTTP works; where the menu item lives and which plan unlocks it is up to each provider.

Superpower your ChatGPT or Claude subscription with YOUB
At your own risk
What comes back is your assistant's answer, not ours. It has no injury guardrails, no sports-science review behind it, and no way to tell a real number from a plausible one. YOUB hands over your data; the training judgement stays yours. For coaching that is qualified for certain, we recommend the YOUB coach.
Plan sessions that land on your watch
We create planned sessions with full structure: intervals, repeats, targets by heart rate, power or pace. Through your existing connection they go to Garmin, Wahoo or Suunto and sit on the device on the day.
Rebuild the week
“Move the long run to Sunday and adjust the rest” is enough. We shift sessions, change duration and structure, and we can tell you whether a session actually reached your watch or what is holding it up.
Build strength sessions from the exercise catalogue
We search the YOUB catalogue by muscle group and the equipment you have, then build a session with sets and reps out of it, rather than inventing exercise names.
Find a race and set it as your goal
We search the race calendar by date, distance and region, pull the course profile and the details, and file the race as a goal with priority and target time.
Keep your numbers current
New FTP, new threshold, new max heart rate: we write them in, and from then on every zone target resolves against the new values.
Analyse your sessions
For any recorded session we pull the full analysis: power and heart rate, zone distribution, detected intervals, elevation. Plus sleep, HRV and resting heart rate as a trend over weeks.
Questions that work right away
No prompt engineering needed. Ask the way you'd message a coach.
How was my last training week — and does that load fit my race in autumn?
Look at yesterday's interval session. Did I hit the zones?
My HRV has been down for three days. What does that mean for Saturday's long run?
Compare my resting heart rate over the last four weeks against my training volume.
My half marathon is eight weeks out. Where do I stand, and what still needs work?
Summarise next week's planned sessions and explain the point of each one.
Move Saturday's long run to Sunday and adjust the rest of the week.
Reading is the default. Writing needs your grant.
Reads and writes are separate
Every write permission sits separately next to its read permission. Without it the assistant cannot rewrite your plan or delete a session — and a read-only grant never widens itself.
Granted per category
Activities, training plan, race goals, wellness, profile and calendar are granted one by one. While connecting, the app shows you exactly what's being requested — before you agree.
Revocable any time
You can end the access whenever you want. The assistant stops receiving data, and nothing else about your YOUB setup changes.
Properly secured
Sign-in runs on OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, and the grant is confirmed a second time through your phone. No token to pass around, no password sitting inside the assistant.
Your training and health data is never sold. The details are in the privacy policy
For free.
Your Claude or ChatGPT subscription supplies the model, YOUB comes free on top over MCP. All you need is the app, your connected data sources, and a few minutes of setup.
