Documentation & install

Readme and setup notes from the catalogue, plus a client-ready config you can copy for your MCP host.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

View docs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devstacks-software-engineering-id-generator-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@devstacks/id-generator-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You run the ID Generator MCP to generate IDs programmatically within AI assistants. It supports UUID, CUID2, Nanoid, and ULID, enabling consistent, collision-resistant identifiers across sessions and integrations.

How to use

Use the ID Generator MCP from your MCP client to request IDs in the algorithms you need. You can generate single IDs or multiple IDs at once, and choose among UUIDv4, CUID2, Nanoid, or ULID depending on your use case. Integrate the generator into your AI workflows to attach unique identifiers to data, responses, or entities, ensuring stable, URL-safe, and time-ordered IDs when required.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Node.js and npm must be installed on your machine.

# Install the MCP client for Claude 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

If you prefer to configure Cursor, Winsurf, or Claude Desktop via a local MCP config file, use this JSON snippet to register the MCP server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "id-generator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@devstacks/id-generator-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Additional notes

The ID Generator MCP provides the following algorithms: uuid (UUID v4), cuid2 (Collision-resistant ID), nanoid (compact, URL-safe IDs), and ulid (time-ordered, sortable IDs). Use the appropriate algorithm based on your performance, security, and database indexing requirements.

Available tools

generate_uuid

Generates a UUID (v4) using randomization to create a 128-bit identifier with extremely low collision probability.

generate_cuid2

Generates a collision-resistant ID suitable for horizontally scalable architectures, designed for fast lookups and URL safety.

generate_nanoid

Generates compact, URL-friendly IDs with a default length of 21 characters, focused on security and speed.

generate_ulid

Generates time-ordered IDs (ULID) that blend time component with randomness for sortable identifiers.
