- 01Generate UUID v4 and v7
- 02Generate compact nanoid IDs
- 03Generate sortable ULIDs
- 04Parse UUID version and variant
- 05Extract timestamps from v1/v7
Use cases
- 01Create identifiers for database seeding
- 02Generate IDs for tests and prototypes
- 03Inspect a UUID's version and timestamp

| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
generate_uuid_v4 | Generate one or more UUID v4 (random). Returns the most common ID format. |
generate_uuid_v7 | Generate UUID v7 (time-sortable, recommended for databases). Includes millisecond timestamp prefix. |
generate_nanoid | Generate nanoid-style compact IDs. URL-safe, shorter than UUID. |
generate_ulid | Generate ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier). Great for distributed systems. |
parse_uuid | Parse a UUID and extract version, variant, and timestamp (if v1/v7). |
Examples
Generate UUID v4:
{
"tool": "generate_uuid",
"arguments": {"version": "v4", "count": 5}
}
Generate nanoid:
{
"tool": "generate_nanoid",
"arguments": {"size": 21}
}

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
