The Utilities service provides general-purpose utility tools with 6 tools for common operations and system utilities.

Overview#

The Utilities service in Cloud Native MCP Server provides general-purpose tools for common operations, data transformation, and system utilities. It provides tools for encoding, decoding, and basic data manipulation.

Key Capabilities#

Available Tools (6)#

Encoding and Transformation#

• utils-base64-encode: Base64 encode
• utils-base64-decode: Base64 decode
• utils-json-parse: JSON parse
• utils-json-stringify: JSON stringify

System Utilities#

• utils-get-time: Get current server time
• utils-get-uuid: Generate UUID
• utils-get-stats: Get server statistics
• utils-get-versions: Get component versions
• utils-get-uptime: Get server uptime
• utils-get-config: Get server configuration
• utils-get-env: Get environment variables
