generate-idLABSCO SUMMARY
The entire surface is a call taking an algorithm and a quantity, which is the right size for a job that is otherwise a detour to a website.
Nothing here needs an account or a key, so the standing cost of having it installed is a single tool definition. What to settle before wiring it into anything that cares about id format or collision behaviour is which values algorithm accepts and whether quantity has a ceiling — neither is stated alongside the tool.
What it is
A single-tool identifier generator: generate-id takes an algorithm and a quantity and returns the ids.
What you get
- generate-id returns identifiers on demand, with algorithm selecting how they are produced.
- Quantity asks for a batch in the same call, so filling a fixture or a seed file does not mean repeating the request.
Requirements
Nothing to supply: no credentials are configured.
Setup effort
One command — npx @devstacks/id-generator-mcp
USE CASES
01
Getting identifiers without switching to a terminal
Ask for the algorithm you need and how many you want, and get them in the conversation you are already in — no shell, no copy-paste out of a REPL.
1 tool
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
