ID Generator MCP

What is ID Generator MCP?

ID Generator MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides ID generation capabilities to AI assistants. It generates various types of unique identifiers such as UUID v4, CUID2, Nanoid, and ULID.

How to use ID Generator MCP?

Install by running claude mcp add id-generator npx @devstacks/id-generator-mcp in Claude Code, or add the JSON configuration {"mcpServers":{"id-generator":{"command":"npx","args":["@devstacks/id-generator-mcp"]}}} to the MCP config file for Cursor, Winsurf, or Claude Desktop. Once installed, the AI assistant can use it to generate IDs on demand.

Key features of ID Generator MCP

• Generate UUIDs (v4)
• Create CUID2 IDs for collision-resistant identification
• Generate Nanoid for compact, URL-friendly identifiers
• Create ULIDs for time-ordered, sortable identifiers
• Consistent ID generation across sessions
• Support for generating multiple IDs at once

Use cases of ID Generator MCP

• Generate unique IDs for database records in applications
• Create URL-safe identifiers for web APIs
• Produce sortable, time-ordered IDs for event logging
• Assign collision-resistant IDs in distributed systems

FAQ from ID Generator MCP

What ID algorithms does ID Generator MCP support?

It supports UUID v4, CUID2, Nanoid, and ULID. Each algorithm has distinct characteristics—UUID is a 128-bit random standard, CUID2 is optimized for horizontal scaling, Nanoid is compact and URL-safe (default 21 characters), and ULID is lexicographically sortable and time-ordered (26 characters, base32).

Does ID Generator MCP require any runtime dependencies?

No runtime dependencies beyond Node.js and npx are mentioned. It is installed via npx @devstacks/id-generator-mcp, so Node.js must be available.

Are the generated IDs consistent across sessions?

Yes, consistent ID generation across sessions is listed as a feature.

Can ID Generator MCP generate multiple IDs at once?

Yes, it supports generating multiple IDs at once.

What transport or authentication does ID Generator MCP use?

The README does not specify transport or authentication details. It is an MCP server that communicates via the standard MCP protocol.
