Why Serverless?

Traditional MCP servers run locally and can’t be used with Claude web or mobile. By deploying to AWS Lambda:

  • ✅ Access your Strava data from any device
  • ✅ Works with Claude web and mobile
  • ✅ Zero infrastructure to manage
  • ✅ Free tier means $0/month for personal use
  • ✅ Auto-scales from zero to thousands of requests

Cost

$0/month under AWS Free Tier for typical use:

  • 1M Lambda requests/month (FREE forever)
  • 400,000 GB-seconds compute/month (FREE for 12 months)
  • Typical usage: < 10,000 requests/month
