What Is an MCP Server and How Does It Work with RUNALYZE?

Introduction

RUNALYZE can be connected to AI applications and other services through MCP servers (Model Context Protocol servers). This allows external applications to access data and functionality from your RUNALYZE account.

What Is an MCP Server?

An MCP server is a standardized interface that enables applications—such as AI assistants—to access data and features provided by a service. In the context of RUNALYZE, an MCP server can make selected training, health, and activity data available to external applications when a connection has been configured.

The MCP standard is designed to simplify communication between different applications. Which data is accessed or shared depends entirely on how the connection is configured and used.

Who Controls Data Sharing?

You are solely responsible for deciding whether and what data is shared.

RUNALYZE only provides the technical capability to connect through an MCP server. No data is shared automatically.

Data is only made available to external applications if you:

1. Set up the MCP connection yourself.
2. Provide the required credentials, API keys, or access tokens yourself.
3. Actively use the connection.

If you do not configure and authorize an MCP connection, no data from your RUNALYZE account will be shared through an MCP server.

User Responsibility

The setup and use of an MCP server are entirely your responsibility.

Please keep the following in mind:

• You are responsible for deciding which applications you grant access to.
• You are responsible for determining which data you choose to share with third-party services.
• You should carefully review and understand the permissions and access rights you grant when configuring a connection.
• RUNALYZE has no control over how external applications process, store, or use data once access has been granted.
• Before connecting a third-party service, you should review its privacy policy and terms of use.

Security Recommendations

Only share credentials, API keys, or access tokens with applications and services that you trust. If you no longer wish to grant access, revoke or remove the connection immediately.

Disclaimer

RUNALYZE provides the technical interface for MCP connectivity but does not operate, control, endorse, or audit third-party MCP clients, AI applications, or other external services.

Each user is solely responsible for:

• Setting up and configuring MCP connections.
• Choosing which applications receive access to their data.
• Determining which data is shared.
• Evaluating the privacy and security practices of third-party services.

No data is shared unless a user explicitly creates and authorizes a connection. Any use of MCP servers and any resulting data sharing are undertaken entirely at the user's own discretion and risk.
