### Description (declared)

# UUID MCP Tool

A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a tool to generate UUIDs.

## Installation

### Install from PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install uuid-mcp
```

### Install from source

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Install the package:
```bash
pip install .
```

Or install in development mode:
```bash
pip install -e .
```

### Install from local directory

If you have the package locally:
```bash
pip install /path/to/uuid-mcp
```

## Usage

After installation, you can run the MCP server using the `uuid-mcp` command:

```bash
uuid-mcp
```

The server will communicate via stdio and expose a `generate_uuid` tool that generates a random UUID (version 4) when called.

## Tool

- **generate_uuid**: Generates a random UUID (version 4). Takes no parameters and returns a UUID string.

## Adding to Cursor

To use this MCP tool in Cursor, add it to your Cursor MCP configuration:

1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
2. Navigate to "Features" → "Model Context Protocol" or search for "MCP"
3. Click "Edit Config" or open the MCP configuration file (typically located at `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or in Cursor's settings)

4. Add the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uuid-generator": {
      "command": "uuid-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

If `uuid-mcp` is not in your PATH, you can use the full path to the executable. After pip installation, you can find it with:

```bash
which uuid-mcp
```

Or use Python's `-m` flag:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uuid-generator": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "uuid_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}
```

5. Restart Cursor for the changes to take effect.

Once configured, you can use the `generate_uuid` tool in Cursor's AI chat interface.
