Tools
flip_coin
Flip a coin with n sides using true randomness from random.org. For 3-sided coins, try creative side names like: - past/present/future (temporal analysis) - true/unknown/false (epistemic states) - win/draw/lose (outcome evaluation) - rock/paper/scissors (cyclic relationships) - less/same/more (abstraction levels) - below/within/above (hierarchical positioning) - predecessor/current/successor (ordinal progression) Meta-usage patterns: 1. Use less/same/more to guide abstraction level of discourse 2. Use past/present/future to determine temporal focus 3. Chain multiple flips to create decision trees 4. Use predecessor/current/successor for ordinal analysis Ordinal Meta-patterns: - Use predecessor to refine previous concepts - Use current to stabilize existing patterns - Use successor to evolve into new forms Default ternary values are -/0/+
README
Coin Flip MCP Server
An MCP server that provides true random coin flips using random.org's randomness API. This server demonstrates the Model Context Protocol by providing a tool for generating random outcomes with configurable sides.
Features
Tools
flip_coin- Flip a coin with configurable number of sides- Optional
sidesparameter (default: 2) - Uses true randomness from random.org
- Special handling for edge cases (0, 1, or negative sides)
- For 2 sides: Returns "Heads" or "Tails"
- For 3 sides: Returns "Heads", "Tails", or "_"
- For n>3 sides: Returns "It landed on side X"
- Optional
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"coin-flip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-coin-flip"]
}
}
}
Example Usage
Once connected to an MCP client like Claude Desktop, you can use natural language to interact with the coin flip tool. For example:
- "Flip a coin"
- "Roll a 6-sided die"
- "Give me a random number between 1 and 20"
The server will use true randomness from random.org to generate the result.
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js
