What is the Id Generator MCP MCP server?

Id Generator MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Id Generator MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for generating IDs with different algorithms.

What you get

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

  • 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

Setting it up

@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by devstacks-software-engineering; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the id generator mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
