Connect Bored MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bored to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Windsurf executes activity lookups
Cascade jumps into action by using `find_activity` to filter through options based on your current constraints. It handles the logic so you stay focused on the code. You just tell the IDE what kind of break you need. It pulls the data, parses the JSON, and presents the best match instantly.
Pull specific tasks with Cascade
When you have a specific goal in mind, Cascade calls `get_activity_by_key` to fetch precise details. It avoids the guesswork by hitting the exact endpoint for your request. This keeps your workspace clean. You get the specific activity details directly in your chat history without needing to switch tabs.
Randomize your downtime
Trigger `get_random_activity` when you want the agent to pick for you. It's a quick way to force a change of pace during a long coding session. Windsurf takes the output and formats it for your project context. You don't have to think, just follow the suggestion.
