Perplexity

Scripting time-sortable keys

The `generate_ulid` tool provides a Crockford Base32 ID ideal for scripting. When you pipe output to other tools in your CI/CD pipeline, having time-ordered identifiers makes debugging and data validation much simpler. Claude Code runs this MCP Server headless. This means the `generate_ulid` function is perfect for cron jobs or GitHub Actions where you just need reliable ID generation via standard output.

Secure, random UUIDs in pipelines

The `generate_uuid` tool creates a mathematically guaranteed v4 identifier using crypto randomness. This level of reliability is crucial when your shell script needs to pass unique IDs between different services. Don't trust manual ID generation. Claude Code calls this MCP Server directly, ensuring every UUID passed through the pipeline is valid and verifiable.

Core Identity Generation

You run this MCP Server to generate two fundamental types of identifiers: ULIDs for chronological sorting and UUIDs for cryptographic uniqueness. This covers almost all identity needs in a backend environment. When you're building automation, the ability to pipe specific, formatted IDs from the `generate_ulid` or `generate_uuid` functions is incredibly useful.

Setup guide

Set up UUID & ULID Generator MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Open your terminal and run the command shown on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com. Use --scope user to make it available across all projects.
2

Verify the connection

Start a Claude Code session and type /mcp to list connected servers. You should see uuid-ulid-generator-mcp with a green status indicator.
3

Start using tools

Ask Claude Code something like "Check my latest UUID & ULID Generator transactions." It will automatically discover and invoke the available UUID & ULID Generator tools.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http uuid-ulid-generator-mcp https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp

Common questions about UUID & ULID Generator MCP in Claude Code

You run it via a single command, piping the output of either `generate_ulid` or `generate_uuid`. This makes perfect sense for CI/CD pipelines where you need scriptable, reliable ID generation.

Yes. The tools provide mathematically guaranteed uniqueness (UUIDs) or chronologically sorted identifiers (ULIDs), eliminating the risk of collision when running headless tasks.

If your process relies on knowing exactly when an ID was created, use `generate_ulid`. If it just needs to be random and unique regardless of time, stick with `generate_uuid`.

Claude Code supports stdio, http, and sse transports. You configure this when running: `claude mcp add --transport ...`.

This MCP Server handles generating various types of unique identifiers (UUIDs and ULIDs). These are plain string data types representing primary keys or record IDs that flow through your shell scripts.
