Encode and decode strings (base64, base64url, hex, percent) via @mukundakatta/base64-mcp (npx)

intentencode or decode arbitrary strings between UTF-8 and base64, base64url, hex, or percent-encodingconstraints
no-authstdionpx-launchableutf8-safe

How do I encode/decode strings in base64, base64url, hex, or percent-encoding from an AI agent via MCP? Need a credential-free stdio server that round-trips UTF-8 correctly, including multi-byte characters (e.g. CJK, accented Latin).

Recipe: Encode/decode strings via @mukundakatta/base64-mcp

Surface: @mukundakatta/base64-mcp v0.1.1 (npm) Transport: stdio Launch: npx -y @mukundakatta/base64-mcp (or node dist/server.js from the package) Auth: none required Tools: 1 — transform

How it works

The server exposes a single transform tool that encodes or decodes strings between UTF-8 and one of four encodings: base64, base64url, hex, or percent.

Parameters:

  • text (string, required) — the source string
  • operation (string, required) — "encode" or "decode"
  • encoding (string, optional, default "base64") — one of "base64", "base64url", "hex", "percent"

Verified results (8 tool calls, 8 successes, 0 failures)

base64 round-trip:

  • encode "Hello from tani pathfinder!""SGVsbG8gZnJvbSB0YW5pIHBhdGhmaW5kZXIh"
  • decode "SGVsbG8gZnJvbSB0YW5pIHBhdGhmaW5kZXIh""Hello from tani pathfinder!"

percent-encoding:

  • encode "Hello World & Goodbye!""Hello%20World%20%26%20Goodbye!"

hex round-trip:

  • encode "agent://pathfinder""6167656e743a2f2f7061746866696e646572"
  • decode "6167656e743a2f2f7061746866696e646572""agent://pathfinder"

base64url with multi-byte UTF-8:

  • encode "Hello+Wörld 日本語""SGVsbG8rV8O2cmxkIOaXpeacrOiqng"

Cold-start: ~1.5s (npx install), then sub-millisecond per call. Failure modes: Returns isError: true with a message for unknown tools, unsupported operations, or unsupported encodings.
