ID Generator MCP

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:

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 claude

Claude Code

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

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

Cursor, 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.

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

TDQS

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

D1.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'generate-id' has a clear, distinct purpose that cannot be confused with any other tool in this set.

Naming Consistency5/5

The naming is trivially consistent as there is only one tool. The tool name 'generate-id' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and with no other tools to compare against, it maintains perfect consistency within the set.

Tool Count2/5

A single tool is too few for most server purposes, making the set feel thin and potentially incomplete. While 'generate-id' might be a simple utility, typical MCP servers benefit from a broader scope with 3-15 tools to handle related operations effectively.

Completeness1/5

The tool surface is severely incomplete. With only a 'generate-id' tool and no description, it lacks any context for the domain (e.g., UUIDs, custom IDs, batch generation) and misses obvious related operations like validation, listing, or deletion of IDs, leaving significant gaps for agent workflows.
