TrailWise MCP server

Connect TrailWise to your AI assistant.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about your hikes, fells, routes, awards and gear — and find new trails and peaks near you — in plain English. Connect in about two minutes. Read-only by default; grant write access when you want it to save routes, plan trips and log fells for you.

What you can ask

Talk to your trail history.

Once connected, just ask. Your assistant pulls live answers straight from your TrailWise data.

How many Wainwrights have I got left to bag?

What trails are within 10km of me?

Which fells have I climbed the most?

Find an easy trail near Keswick and save it.

What peaks are near here?

Log Helvellyn as climbed today.

Set up

Connect in about two minutes.

Pick your assistant. You'll add one connector URL, then sign in to TrailWise once to approve access.

  1. 1
    In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. 2
    Paste the TrailWise server URL and save:
    https://mcp.trailwise.io/mcp
  3. 3
    Click Connect, sign in to TrailWise and approve access. Reading (mcp:read) is granted by default; you can also allow write (mcp:write) so Claude can save routes, plan trips and log fells for you. That's it — ask Claude about your hikes.

Capabilities

Everything your assistant can reach.

Seven areas of your TrailWise account it can read — and, with the optional write permission, create and update in too: save routes, plan trips, edit gear lists, log fells, and save or rate the trails you discover.

Profile & stats

Your profile, points and lifetime totals — distance, ascent, fells, countries.

Activities

Your hike timeline and full per-activity detail, including fells, weather and gear.

Fells & progress

Completed fells by region, your visit heatmap, and per-list progress (Wainwrights, Munros…).

Awards

Badges, milestones, metric and streak awards with live completion status.

Routes & trips

Your saved routes and planned trips, with distances and the fells they cross.

Gear

Packing lists with per-item weights, plus base, worn and consumable totals.

Trail discovery

Find trails and peaks near any location, search by name, and open full trail detail — or browse curated trails by difficulty, distance and elevation. Save and rate the ones you like.

Security & privacy

Safe by design.

You're in control

Read-only by default. Write is a separate permission you explicitly approve — and even then it can only create and update, never delete.

Scoped to you

Your assistant only ever sees the signed-in account's own data — never anyone else's.

OAuth 2.1 + PKCE

You approve each permission (mcp:read, optional mcp:write) on TrailWise, and can revoke access any time from your account.
