You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
No explicit tool names declared in metadata yet. Check project README on main listing page.
Uuid Tools (2)
validate_uuid
Validate and parse a UUID (keyless, offline): checks the format and returns the version (1-8), variant, whether it is nil/max, and — for time-based versions (v1, v7) — the embedded timestamp as an ISO date.
generate_uuid
Generate one or more random v4 UUIDs.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Imei is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Uuid belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Imei when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Uuid when you require tools for developer tools.
