Connecting Your AI Assistant

Which AI assistants work with AgentRunCoach?

ChatGPT and Claude both work with AgentRunCoach today. Connect either one using a custom connector. Instructions below.

More platforms are on the way.

Coming soon: Official AgentRunCoach connectors for ChatGPT and Claude are currently in review. Once live, you'll be able to connect directly from within each platform. No manual setup required.

How do I connect ChatGPT?

Custom connectors work on all ChatGPT plans, including free. You'll need to set this up in ChatGPT on the web. It isn't available in the other interfaces.

  1. In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and toggle on Developer mode.
  2. Go back to Settings → Apps and click Create.
  3. Give it a name and description, then enter the server URL: https://api.agentruncoach.com/mcp
  4. Check the box to acknowledge the custom-connector notice, then click Create.

The new app won't be connected yet. Click Connect, and you'll be redirected to AgentRunCoach to log in and grant permission. After that, just mention AgentRunCoach in a conversation and your assistant will know what to do.

How do I connect Claude?

Custom connectors are available on all Claude plans, including free.

  1. In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors.
  2. Tap +, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter the connector URL: https://api.agentruncoach.com/mcp
  4. Tap Add.

The first time you connect, you'll be redirected to AgentRunCoach to log in and grant permission. After that, just mention AgentRunCoach in a conversation and your assistant will know what to do.

Do I need a paid AI assistant subscription?

No. Custom connectors are available on the free plans of both ChatGPT and Claude, so a paid subscription isn't required to use AgentRunCoach.

Can I switch to a different AI assistant later?

Yes. Your training history, plan, and coaching data all live in AgentRunCoach, not in your AI assistant. Switch anytime without losing anything.

How Your Coach Uses Your Data

What does AgentRunCoach send to my AI assistant?

When you ask your assistant something coaching-related, AgentRunCoach provides the relevant context from your account: your recent activity, training volume, pace trends, current fitness score, and plan details. Your assistant uses that context to give you a response specific to you, not a generic answer.

You stay in control of which assistant receives that data. AgentRunCoach only shares it when you're actively using a connected assistant in a conversation.

Does my AI assistant remember previous conversations?

That depends on the assistant you're using. Each platform handles conversation memory differently. What AgentRunCoach brings to every conversation is your current data: your latest runs, your training plan, your fitness trend. That's always fresh regardless of whether your assistant has memory enabled.

Can I ask my AI assistant about things other than running?

Yes. Your AI assistant works normally for anything else. AgentRunCoach only adds context when it's relevant to a coaching question. If you ask about something unrelated, it won't interfere.

Troubleshooting

My latest run isn't showing up when I check in with my coach.

Two likely causes:

Your activity hasn't synced to Strava yet. Check that your watch or device has uploaded the run to Strava. Some devices sync automatically over Wi-Fi; others need to be opened or connected manually. Once it's in Strava, AgentRunCoach will pick it up within a few minutes.

The sync to AgentRunCoach is still in progress. If the run is already on Strava but your coach doesn't see it yet, wait a few minutes and try again. Syncing is automatic but not always instant.

My AI assistant isn't responding with my coaching data.

Check that the connector is still authorized. Go to the connector settings in your AI assistant and look for an option to reauthorize or reconnect. If it looks connected, try removing it and re-adding it using the setup steps above.

How do I reconnect or reset my connection?

Remove the connector and re-add it.

  • ChatGPT: go to Settings → Apps & Connectors, find AgentRunCoach, remove it, then follow the setup steps above.
  • Claude: go to Customize → Connectors, remove AgentRunCoach, then follow the setup steps above.

You won't lose any data. Everything is stored in AgentRunCoach.
