Nanoid Generator

What is the Nanoid Generator MCP Server?

UUIDs are 36 characters. That's 36 characters in every URL, every database row, every API response, every log line. Nanoid gives you the same collision resistance in just 21 characters — URL-safe, no encoding needed, and cryptographically secure.

With 40M+ weekly downloads, nanoid is the ID generator behind Supabase, Vite, and PostCSS. This MCP lets any agent generate production-grade IDs without hallucinating random strings.

The Superpowers

  • 21 Characters = Same Security as UUID: The math proves it — ~1 billion years to have a 1% collision probability at 1,000 IDs/hour.
  • URL-Safe by Default: A-Za-z0-9_- — no percent-encoding, no base64 headaches.
  • Custom Alphabet: Need numeric-only IDs for order numbers? Hex-only for tokens? Pass any character set.
  • Cryptographic: Uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the same API used for encryption keys.

Built-in capabilities (1)

generate_nanoid

Default size is 21 characters with collision probability of ~1 billion years at 1000 IDs/hour. For custom alphabets, pass an alphabet string (e.g. "0123456789" for numeric IDs). Nanoid uses crypto.getRandomValues() for security. Generates unique URL-safe IDs using nanoid. 2x faster than UUID, 118 bytes. Custom alphabet support

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Why should I use nanoid instead of UUID?

Nanoid is 40% shorter (21 vs 36 chars), 2x faster, URL-safe without encoding, and has equivalent collision resistance. UUID still wins for enterprise systems that mandate RFC 9562 compliance.

02

Can I generate IDs with only numbers for order codes?

Yes. Set alphabet to '0123456789' and size to 8 for an 8-digit numeric order code like '47829163'. Works with any character set you define.

03

Is it safe to use as a secret token or API key?

Yes. Nanoid uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the same cryptographic PRNG used for TLS keys and encryption. Increase the size to 32+ characters for high-security tokens.

04

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

05

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

06

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

07

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

08

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.

09

Server not appearing after restart

Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).

10

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

11

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
