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.

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

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Nanoid Generator data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
