How do I use ID Generator MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@ID Generator MCP Server generate 5 unique IDs and get the current ISO timestamp" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

ID Generator MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that generates auto-incrementing unique identifiers and provides current ISO timestamps.

Overview

This MCP server provides two core tools:

Generate Unique ID - Generates auto-incrementing 8-digit hexadecimal identifiers with persistent state across restarts
ISO Date - Returns the current date and time in ISO 8601 format (UTC)

Tools

Generate Unique ID

The MCP server generates auto-incrementing 8-digit hexadecimal unique identifiers. Each ID automatically increments from the previous value, ensuring sequential uniqueness across all calls and server restarts. The counter state is persisted to disk, making it ideal for:

Creating unique element IDs for testing and automation
Generating sequential tracking numbers
Assigning unique references to data entries
Any scenario requiring guaranteed unique, sequential identifiers

Input:

{ "count": 5 // Optional: number of IDs to generate (1-32, defaults to 1) }

Output:

Generated 5 unique ID(s): 00000001 00000002 00000003 00000004 00000005

ISO Date

The MCP server returns the current date and time in ISO 8601 format. Each call provides the precise current timestamp in UTC timezone, useful for:

Creating standardized timestamps for logs and records
Generating sortable date strings
Recording event times in a universal format
Any scenario requiring ISO 8601 compliant timestamps

Input:

No input parameters required.

Output:

Current ISO datetime: 2025-12-10T14:23:45.678Z

Usage

Command Line

# Basic usage with stdio transport npx @gergelyszerovay/mcp-id-date # Enable HTTP transport for SSE npx @gergelyszerovay/mcp-id-date --enableHttpTransport # Enable REST API server npx @gergelyszerovay/mcp-id-date --enableRestServer # Custom counter file location npx @gergelyszerovay/mcp-id-date --idCounterFile=./my-counter.txt

CLI Options

Flag	Description	Default
`--enableHttpTransport`	Enable HTTP transport for SSE	`false`
`--enableStdioTransport`	Enable stdio transport	`true`
`--enableRestServer`	Enable REST API server	`false`
`--mcpHttpPort`	Port for MCP HTTP server	`3001`
`--restHttpPort`	Port for REST HTTP server	`3002`
`--idCounterFile`	Path to the file used for tracking the last generated ID	`/workspace/last-tag-id.txt`

MCP Integration

Add this to your MCP server configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "id-generator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gergelyszerovay/mcp-id-date"] } } }
