Show HN: Use Strava's official MCP with other chatbots

Johnny Lee released an unofficial open-source TypeScript gateway that lets ChatGPT connect to Strava's official MCP connector without requiring application secrets, a database, or a local server. The tool, available on GitHub under the MIT license, requires Node.js 22.18+ or 24.x and works by deploying to Cloudflare or Vercel, with ChatGPT developer mode enabled. It is not affiliated with Strava, OpenAI, Cloudflare, or Vercel.
