Team-Level ID Generation Control

Committing the MCP config file to `.vscode/mcp.json` means every developer on your team gets instant access to the `generate_ulid` tool. This guarantees everyone uses the same, consistent source for time-sortable IDs. It’s how you manage tools at scale in an engineering environment.

Standardizing UUID Generation Across Repos

The `generate_uuid` tool provides mathematically guaranteed v4 identifiers. This consistency is critical for enterprise teams where reliable, non-colliding IDs are required across multiple services. It keeps your entire codebase standardized and robust.

Agent Mode Access in Copilot Chat

When you switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode, the AI can access both `generate_ulid` and `generate_uuid`. It calls these tools when necessary to enrich the context or generate code snippets for you. It makes writing complex features much smoother.

Setup guide

Set up UUID & ULID Generator 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 & ULID Generator 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 & ULID Generator tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent UUID & ULID Generator transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about UUID & ULID Generator MCP in VS Code Copilot

You create the `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project's root and add the server details there. This makes it available to every developer who clones the repo.

Yes, because the configuration is managed via committed files in the repository. It’s designed for team-wide rollout and standard usage across an organization.

Absolutely. The tools generate mathematically perfect v4 UUIDs, making ID collision virtually impossible for your team's services. It’s the best way to guarantee uniqueness.

Just use the `generate_ulid` tool. This function returns a Crockford Base32 encoded ID that keeps your data sorted chronologically, which is super helpful when debugging or querying records.

The server generates Identifiers (UUIDs and ULIDs). It operates independently of your source code, only providing the raw ID strings when requested by the AI agent.
