FAQ from ID Generator MCP

What is UUID?

UUID v4 - Universally Unique Identifier that uses random numbers to generate a 128-bit value with extremely low collision probability. Standardized format widely used across many systems.

What is CUID2?

Collision-resistant IDs optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. Shorter than UUIDs while maintaining uniqueness. Designed to be secure, URL-safe, and sequential for database performance.

What is Nanoid?

Small, secure, URL-friendly unique string ID generator. Creates compact, non-sequential, URL-safe identifiers that are highly collision-resistant. Default length is 21 characters.

What is ULID?

Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier. Combines time-ordered uniqueness with random uniqueness. 26 characters, crockford base32 encoded (no special characters), URL-safe, and lexicographically sortable.

How do I install the ID Generator MCP?

Installation instructions are provided in the README for various AI assistant platforms, including Claude Code, Cursor, Winsurf, and Claude Desktop. Follow the instructions specific to your environment.
