ID Generator MCP

Generate unique IDs using various algorithms like UUID, CUID2, Nanoid, and ULID.

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides ID generation capabilities to AI assistants.

Installation

The ID Generator MCP can be integrated with various AI assistant platforms. Below are instructions for different environments:

To install ID Generator MCP for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @devstacks-software-engineering/id-generator-mcp --client claude

To add the ID Generator MCP to Claude Code, run the following command:

claude mcp add id-generator npx @devstacks/id-generator-mcp

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"]
    }
  }
}

Once installed, the ID Generator MCP can be used by the AI assistant to generate various types of IDs.

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.
