Random Number MCP

Essential random number generation utilities from the Python standard library, including pseudorandom and cryptographically secure operations for integers, floats, weighted selections, list shuffling, and secure token generation. Its 7 documented tools cover random, int, secure. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

01 · Install Random Number MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add zazencodes-random-number-mcp -- uvx random-number-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zazencodes-random-number-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "random-number-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

02 · Evidence

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

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package random-number-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

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