How do I find my Apify API Key?

Log in to your [**Apify dashboard**](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations), and you will find your Personal Access Token under 'Settings' > 'Integrations'. Copy and paste it below.

What UUID versions are supported?

The API currently supports the most common versions: v1 (time-based) and v4 (randomly generated).

Can I generate more than one UUID at a time?

Yes. Use the `generate_uuids` tool and provide the `count` parameter (e.g., 50). Your agent will return a batch of unique identifiers instantly.

About UUID Generator API MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire data architecture and unique identifier workflow with the UUID Generator API, the specialized source for programmable GUID data. By connecting the Apify-powered generation service to your agent, you transform complex database planning into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly generate batches of UUIDs and audit version constraints without you ever touching a technical script. Whether you are conducting system design or managing large-scale data migrations, your agent acts as a real-time data architect, ensuring your identifiers are always unique and standardized.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings UUID Generator API data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 2 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

UUID Auditing — Generate high-resolution unique identifiers in batches and maintain a clear view of data distribution.
Version Oversight — Audit specific UUID versions including v1 and v4 to understand the algorithmic reach of your identifiers instantly.
Batch Discovery — Retrieve multiple unique identifiers in a single request to assist in deep-dive data population.
Identifier Intelligence — Retrieve standardized UUID strings to identify relevant markers for your system components.
Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your identifier research workflow is always operational.

The UUID Generator API MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

UUID Generator API + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating UUID Generator API MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
