AL Object ID Ninja MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AL Object ID Ninja - managing AL object IDs in Business Central development.

Do You Need This?

Visual Studio Code users: No. The AL Object ID Ninja extension already includes Language Model Tools integration. GitHub Copilot and other AI assistants in VS Code can automatically assign and manage object IDs without any additional setup.

Cursor, Claude Code, or other AI tools: Yes. Install this MCP server to enable AI-assisted object ID management outside of VS Code.

Features

This MCP server provides two tools for AI assistants:

  • ninja_assignObjectId - Assigns and commits the next available AL object ID
  • ninja_unassignObjectId - Releases a previously assigned object ID

Installation

Claude Code

Global (available in all projects):

claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio al-object-id-ninja -- npx -y @vjeko.com/al-object-id-ninja-mcp

Local (current project only):

claude mcp add --scope local --transport stdio al-object-id-ninja -- npx -y @vjeko.com/al-object-id-ninja-mcp

Then restart Claude Code or run /mcp to verify the server is available.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "al-object-id-ninja": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vjeko.com/al-object-id-ninja-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, AI assistants can use the tools to manage object IDs:

Assign an ID

"Assign a new table ID for my AL app"

The assistant will use ninja_assignObjectId with:

  • objectType: The AL object type (table, page, codeunit, etc.)
  • targetFilePath: Path to any file in your AL app
  • rangeName: (Optional) Logical range name if multiple ranges exist

Unassign an ID

"Release table ID 50100 - I deleted that object"

The assistant will use ninja_unassignObjectId with:

  • objectType: The AL object type
  • objectId: The ID to release
  • targetFilePath: Path to any file in your AL app

Supported Object Types

  • table, tableextension
  • page, pageextension
  • codeunit
  • report, reportextension
  • query
  • xmlport
  • enum, enumextension
  • permissionset, permissionsetextension
  • table_{id} (for table fields)
  • enum_{id} (for enum values)
