Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
GARMIN_EMAIL	yes	—	The email address for your Connect account. Stored only in your local .env; `npx trainbud setup` writes it for you.
GARMIN_PASSWORD	yes	yes	Your Connect password. Stored only in your local .env. Accounts with MFA enabled are not supported, because the unofficial library this drives cannot complete that flow.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	—	yes	Optional, and only for the watch app's Ask card and daily insight. The MCP tools themselves need no model key: every finding is computed in code, and the model only phrases it.
