Toolkit MCP Server

@cyanheads/toolkit-mcp-server Generate random IDs, QR codes, and hashes, encode and decode values, and geolocate IPs, plus gated network and system diagnostics, via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. Its README documents 7 tools, including toolkit_hash_value, toolkit_generate_id, toolkit_generate_qr.

People who work with cryptography, developer tools and geolocation and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Toolkit MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

Set MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, TOOLKIT_ENABLE_NET_DIAGNOSTICS, TOOLKIT_ENABLE_SYSTEM_INFO before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add cyanheads-toolkit-mcp-server --transport http https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cyanheads-toolkit-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://toolkit.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to toolkit.caseyjhand.com

endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

registry namespace io.github.cyanheads is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Toolkit MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

An agent gets 7 documented tools, including toolkit_hash_value, toolkit_generate_id, toolkit_generate_qr, toolkit_encode_value, toolkit_geolocate_ip.

The 7 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what toolkit-mcp-server lets an agent do.

toolkit_hash_value: - Generate a cryptographic digest (sha256/sha384/sha512/sha1/md5) as hex, base64, or SRI, or constant-time-compare a value against an expected digest.
toolkit_generate_id: - Mint cryptographically-random identifiers - UUIDv4, UUIDv7, or ULID - singly or in batches up to 1000.
toolkit_generate_qr: - Encode text or a URL into a QR code as SVG markup, base64 PNG, or a terminal-renderable string.
toolkit_encode_value: - Encode or decode a value across base64, base64url, hex, or URL percent-encoding, in either direction.
toolkit_geolocate_ip: - Resolve a public IP or hostname to geographic and network metadata - country, city, coordinates, ASN, timezone.
toolkit_check_network: - Gated, off by default. Read-only network diagnostics from the server host - ping, traceroute, TCP connectivity, or egress-IP detection.
toolkit_check_system: - Gated, off by default. Report a facet of the server host's system state - OS, CPU, memory, load average, or network interfaces.
