Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Bored API.

  1. 01

    Find activity

    This capability searches for activities using specific filters like price or category. It's what you use when you have a specific vibe in mind.

  2. 02

    Get activity by key

    This capability pulls up the full details for a specific activity using its unique ID. Use this to revisit a suggestion you liked earlier.

  3. 03

    Get random activity

    This capability grabs a single, completely random activity. It's the fastest way to get a suggestion when you have no preference at all.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Solo Downtime

Ask your agent for a cheap, solo activity when you have an hour to kill.

02

Group Hangouts

Tell your agent how many people are with you to get social activity ideas.

03

Budget Planning

Request activities with a zero price point to find free things to do.

04

Skill Building

Search for educational activities to find new things to learn.

Automate a task

Put Bored API to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Bored API works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Bored API to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Bored API, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Bored API. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
