Your training data,
in your favorite chat.
Connect RunCoach to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini so you can ask questions about your training in the chat you already use.
RunCoach MCP server address
Use this address when the chat service asks for a server URL.
https://run.thelaymans.org/api/mcp/The address follows this site’s origin and ends in /api/mcp/.
Before you connect
You need an existing RunCoach account. Sign in to RunCoach when the service asks you to authorize access; friends who need an account should contact the RunCoach site owner for access.
Use the same RunCoach account that owns the training data you want to ask about. Setup uses RunCoach sign-in and authorization. Do not create, copy, or share an API key for this connection.
