Bored MCP for AI. Stop wasting time finding things to do.

Q: Can I find activities specifically for a large group of people?

Yes! You can use the findactivity tool and specify the participants parameter to get suggestions tailored to your group size.

Q: How do I search for activities that are completely free?

Simply use the findactivity tool and set the price parameter to 0.0. You can also use maxprice to set a budget limit.

Q: Can I retrieve an activity if I only have its ID number?

Absolutely. Use the getactivitybykey tool and provide the unique numeric key to fetch the full details of that specific activity.

Q: What happens if I use getactivitybykey with an incorrect or expired activity key?

The tool immediately returns a clear error message indicating that the provided key is invalid. This prevents wasted calls; you just need to verify your source material for the correct unique ID.

Q: Can I use findactivity to filter by multiple criteria, like low price and high accessibility?

Yes, you pass all required parameters into a single findactivity call. The tool handles complex logical filtering against its database automatically, giving you highly specific results.

Q: Are there rate limits when running getrandomactivity frequently?

Vinkius applies standard rate limiting per subscription tier to prevent abuse. Your AI client receives a standard HTTP error if you exceed the allotted number of calls within a given timeframe.

Q: How quickly does getrandomactivity generate an activity suggestion?

It is designed for instant use, returning an activity suggestion in milliseconds after the call. You should get an immediate response every single time you run it.

Q: Do I need any specific setup before using findactivity?

No. Once you subscribe and connect your AI client through Vinkius, the tool is immediately ready to use. There's no complex configuration required beyond initial access authorization.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 3 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Finding things to do used to mean hours of clicking through search results:

Today, finding a decent plan for friends feels like a full-time job. You open five different sites—Reddit, Google Maps, Meetup—and end up copying and pasting details back into one spreadsheet just to compare prices and group sizes. It's clicking through tabs until your eyes blur.

With this MCP, you skip the whole mess. You talk to your agent once, telling it: 'We need a social activity for eight people that costs $15 or less.' The suggestions come back instantly, filtered and ready. You just get the answer.

Getting Bored Activity Suggestions with `get_random_activity`

Before, if you were stuck and needed a quick burst of inspiration, you had to manually scroll through pages of ideas until something clicked. You wasted time scrolling past irrelevant hobbies or overly expensive options.

Now, just ask your agent for a random activity. It pulls one instantly. No setup, no filters required. It’s the easiest way to break out of a creative rut.

What your AI can actually do with this

Got nothing to do? The Bored MCP helps you stop staring at an empty calendar and start planning. It talks to the massive database of activities so you can find fun things based on what you're in the mood for, not just a keyword. You don’t have to sift through endless websites; your AI agent handles it all.

Need a spontaneous idea? Ask for something totally random. Planning an event and need specific filters—say, only free options or activities for four people? The MCP handles those constraints instantly. Because this connector is hosted on Vinkius, you connect once from any of your preferred clients, and the Bored API becomes available to all your agents.

What Changes When You Connect

Instant inspiration: If you're stuck, just asking for a random activity is enough. It gives you an immediate suggestion without needing any filters or inputs.

Precision planning: Don't waste time on irrelevant options. Use find_activity to filter by exactly what you need—like making sure the event is free and suitable for 4 people.

Quick reference: If someone sends you a link or mentions an activity key, use get_activity_by_key to pull up all the details immediately without searching again.

Accessibility checks: It helps you plan activities that match physical constraints by checking accessibility scores.

Time savings: Instead of switching between three different planning websites, your agent does the research and gives you a structured list right in your chat window.

See it in action

01 01

The Saturday afternoon slump

You're with friends and everyone is bored. You ask your agent for activity ideas, but don't know what to narrow it down to. The agent uses get_random_activity first, giving you a starting point like 'learn pottery.' Then, you refine the search using find_activity to only show options that are under $20.

02 02

The client follow-up

Your manager mentions an activity they liked last month but can't remember the name. You provide the unique key, and your agent uses get_activity_by_key to instantly pull up all the details for you.

03 03

The budget meeting

You need a list of ideas for a community event that has no cost barrier. You use find_activity, specifically setting 'price' to zero, and get back dozens of genuinely free options for review.

The honest tradeoffs

Searching by general mood

Anti-pattern

Just typing 'I feel creative today.' This is too vague. It forces your agent to guess the category, leading to a huge list of unhelpful results.

The Fix

Be specific. Instead of 'creative,' try using find_activity and setting criteria: type=artisan, participants>=1, cost<5.

Ignoring existing data

Anti-pattern

You already know the key for a great local hiking trail, but you run a general search anyway. You waste time re-filtering known info.

The Fix

If you have the unique identifier, skip searching and use get_activity_by_key immediately.

Relying only on random luck

Anti-pattern

Asking for a random activity when you actually need something suitable for 15 people. The result might be for two.

The Fix

Always start with find_activity if group size is important, then use get_random_activity if the filters are too restrictive.

When It Fits, When It Doesn't

Use this MCP when you need creative ideas or structured filtering. If your goal is simply to find anything right now and you have no idea where to start, run get_random_activity. If you know the exact activity key, skip straight to get_activity_by_key because it's the fastest way to get data. Use find_activity when you need to combine multiple constraints (e.g., social AND free AND for 8 people). Don't use this if your problem is purely conceptual; the tool only deals with structured activity data.
