A tool lets Claude use your Whoop fitness data
Totem is an open-source project that lets Claude and similar AI tools read and write Whoop fitness data. It uses a private API based on how the iOS app works, not an official public connection. This is useful as an example of connecting personal data to an AI agent, but it may be fragile or risky.
Key points
- It offers 47 tools for Whoop data such as recovery, sleep, strain, HRV trends, journal, and alarms.
- Claude or another MCP client can use the data inside an AI workflow.
- Because it uses a private API, it could break if Whoop changes its app or login system.
- For AI agent builders, the main value is seeing how personal data can become tool access.
