Our reading of Strava, from the data
Strava is an MCP server from r-huijts, listed in the official MCP Registry.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
Maintenance is slowing: the last public signal was 4 months ago (2026-06-13).
It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs 2 secrets (STRAVA_CLIENT_SECRET, STRAVA_ACCESS_TOKEN); use a scoped, least-privilege key.

Deductions
- No security policy (SECURITY.md)-3
Checks
- ✓Repository hygiene (archived, activity, license, security policy)
- ○Package metadata (install scripts, provenance) — pending
- ○Tool descriptions (prompt-injection and hidden-text heuristics) — pending
- ○Source scan (secrets, CVEs, risky code) by vectra-guard — pending
Scan it yourself before installing with vectra-guard, the open-source agent security CLI (made by NavyaAI, which also runs MCPSkillHub). Scoring rules
