Perplexity

Standardize IDs across the Team

By committing the `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on your team gets access to `generate_uuid`. This ensures everyone uses the same, reliable method for creating unique identifiers. The tool supports v4 random UUIDs, keeping your ID generation process consistent across all repositories.

Generate Sortable IDs in Shared Code

When writing shared service logic, use the v7 type. This time-ordered capability ensures that if records are inserted over time, they will sort correctly by creation date in your database. The MCP Server makes this powerful function available to every Copilot Chat session on the team.

Maintain ID Integrity for Shared Services

For business logic that relies on object names, use v5. The deterministic nature of these IDs means a given input always produces the same UUID, which is critical when multiple engineers are working on the same service. This prevents unexpected bugs caused by non-reproducible ID generation.

Setup guide

Set up UUID Generator Engine MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the UUID Generator Engine MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the UUID Generator Engine tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent UUID Generator Engine transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uuid-generator-engine-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about UUID Generator Engine MCP in VS Code Copilot

You commit the MCP configuration file (`.vscode/mcp.json`) to the repository root. This makes the tool definition visible and available for every developer's Copilot Chat session.

It gives you v4 (random), v5 (deterministic/name-based), and v7 (time-ordered) types, all adhering to RFC 9562 standards.

Yes. Because the configuration is project-scoped and committed via Git, it functions reliably regardless of how complex your codebase or directory structure gets.

Absolutely. Use v5 when reproducibility matters—that is, if you must generate the same UUID from the same name/namespace every time for testing or reference.

The server only handles and generates UUID strings (the IDs). It never touches user passwords, private keys, or any sensitive operational data outside of the input arguments you provide for ID generation.
