Nanoid Generator for Clean Database Identifiers
This Connector changes that by giving your AI agent access to the same engine used by Supabase and Vite. Instead of the AI guessing, it generates production-grade, cryptographically secure IDs in a fraction of the time. You get clean, 21-character strings that work perfectly in your URLs and logs.
What Vinkius changes
You get reliable, collision-resistant IDs without the overhead of UUIDs.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about nanoid.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
What is the Nanoid Generator MCP for?
It helps your AI agent create unique, compact identifiers for things like database records, URLs, and API keys. It's designed to be a better, faster alternative to standard UUIDs.
Is Nanoid Generator MCP safer than just asking an AI for a random string?
Yes. While an AI might hallucinate a string, this Connector uses actual cryptographic randomness. This ensures your IDs and keys are unpredictable and secure for production use.
Can I make the IDs from Nanoid Generator MCP only use numbers?
Yes, you can. You can tell your agent to use a numeric alphabet, which is perfect for creating human-readable order numbers or tracking codes.
Why would I use Nanoid Generator MCP instead of UUIDs?
UUIDs are 36 characters long and often require extra encoding. Nanoid IDs are 21 characters by default, URL-safe, and much easier to handle in URLs and database rows.
Does Nanoid Generator MCP work for creating API keys?
It works great for API keys. It can generate high-entropy strings that are cryptographically secure, making them suitable for partner integrations and internal security.
How long are the IDs from Nanoid Generator MCP?
The default length is 21 characters, which provides a very low collision probability. However, you can ask your agent to generate IDs of different lengths depending on your needs.
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.
