ID Generator MCP
โ 2from devstacks-software-engineering
Generate unique IDs using various algorithms like UUID, CUID2, Nanoid, and ULID.
ID Generator MCP
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides ID generation capabilities to AI assistants.
Features
- 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
- Simple API integration
- Support for generating multiple IDs at once
npx -y @smithery/cli install @devstacks-software-engineering/id-generator-mcp --client claudeInstallation
The ID Generator MCP can be integrated with various AI assistant platforms. Below are instructions for different environments:
Installing via Smithery
To install ID Generator MCP for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @devstacks-software-engineering/id-generator-mcp --client claudeClaude Code
To add the ID Generator MCP to Claude Code, run the following command:
claude mcp add id-generator npx @devstacks/id-generator-mcpCursor, Winsurf, or Claude Desktop
To add the ID Generator MCP to Cursor, Winsurf, or Claude Desktop, add the following configuration to your MCP configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"id-generator": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@devstacks/id-generator-mcp"]
}
}
}Usage
Once installed, the ID Generator MCP can be used by the AI assistant to generate various types of IDs.
Supported ID Algorithms
| Algorithm | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
uuid | 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000 | UUID v4 - Universally Unique Identifier that uses random numbers to generate a 128-bit value with extremely low collision probability. Standardized format widely used across many systems. |
cuid2 | clh3ppfqz0000jz0ggdlg7etk | Collision-resistant IDs optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. Shorter than UUIDs while maintaining uniqueness. Designed to be secure, URL-safe, and sequential for database performance. |
nanoid | V1StGXR8_Z5jdHi6B-myT | Small, secure, URL-friendly unique string ID generator. Creates compact, non-sequential, URL-safe identifiers that are highly collision-resistant. Default length is 21 characters. |
ulid | 01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV | Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier. Combines time-ordered uniqueness with random uniqueness. 26 characters, crockford base32 encoded (no special characters), URL-safe, and lexicographically sortable. |
