Wraps the Bored API to help you fight boredom with activity suggestions. Exposes three tools: pull random activities, filter by category (cooking, sports, relaxation, etc.), or search by participant count for solo or group plans. Each result includes the activity name, type, how many people you need, and a price range estimate. No authentication required. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect to this standalone server or tap into their full 250+ data source collection. Good for building chat interfaces that suggest things to do or prototyping recreational planning features without standing up your own activity database.
