Exerciseapi
Connects Claude directly to exerciseapi.dev's library of 2,198+ exercises across strength, yoga, pilates, mobility, and physical therapy. Exposes six tools: search exercises by muscle group, equipment, or difficulty; fetch full details including form tips and safety notes; list available categories, muscles, and equipment types; get library statistics. Built specifically to stop LLMs from hallucinating exercise data when you're building fitness or wellness apps. Requires a free API key from exerciseapi.dev (100 requests/day on free tier). The exercise data includes anatomical muscle targeting, variations, and growing video coverage. Install via npx, drop your key in the env config, and your agent can pull real exercise data instead of inventing dangerous form cues.
