Perplexity

Instant ID generation in Windsurf

Stop wrestling with bloated UUID libraries. Use the `generate_nanoid` tool to drop compact, 21-character unique identifiers directly into your codebase. Cascade handles the heavy lifting, pulling the IDs into your files without you manual-copying a single string.

Custom ID formats for your schema

Need numeric IDs or specific character sets? Pass an alphabet string to `generate_nanoid` to override the default URL-safe characters. Windsurf applies these constraints immediately, ensuring your database primary keys match your exact project requirements.

Cryptographic security for every key

Every ID generated via the `generate_nanoid` tool uses `crypto.getRandomValues()` to ensure collision resistance. Your AI client maintains this security standard across every session, keeping your distributed system indexes clean and collision-free.

Setup guide

Set up Nanoid Generator MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Nanoid Generator MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Nanoid Generator payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Nanoid Generator tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
