MediaWiki-MCP-Server

MCP.Pizza Chef: ProfessionalWiki

Out of the box it points at English Wikipedia, so your assistant can search articles, read pages, compare two versions, trace what links where, and watch recent changes. Aim it at a company or fan wiki instead and, once you sign in, it can also create, edit, move, and delete pages and upload files. Reading needs no login at all. Extra abilities appear automatically on wikis running Semantic MediaWiki, Cargo, Bucket, or NeoWiki.

README

MediaWiki MCP Server

NPM Version MIT licensed

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Large Language Model (LLM) clients to interact with any MediaWiki wiki.

Features

Tools

Every tool that operates on a wiki accepts an optional wiki argument naming the wiki to act on (the wiki-management and OAuth tools do not) — pass a wiki key (e.g. en.wikipedia.org) or the full mcp://wikis/{wikiKey} URI. Omit it to use the configured default wiki (see Configuration). Each tool response reports the wiki the call ran against.

Page reads
Name Description
compare-pages Diff two versions of a wiki page by revision, title, or supplied wikitext.
get-category-members List members of a category (up to 500 per call, paginated via continueFrom).
get-file Fetch a file page.
get-file-data Fetch a file's image bytes inline (base64) for visual analysis — for clients that can't reach the wiki host. Returns a scaled rendition (set width); non-renderable types (audio, video, binaries) error. For metadata or a download URL, use get-file.
get-links-here List pages that reference a wiki page — pages that link to it, embed it as a template, or display it as a file (select via type), including pages that reach it through a redirect. Up to 500 per call, paginated via continueFrom.
get-page Fetch a wiki page.
get-page-history List recent revisions of a wiki page.
get-pages Fetch multiple wiki pages in one call (up to 50).
get-recent-changes List recent change events across the wiki, filterable by timestamp, namespace, user, tag, type, and hide flags (up to 50 per call, paginated via continue).
get-revision Fetch a specific revision of a page.
get-site-info Get a wiki's key settings: MediaWiki version, content language, title-case rules, namespaces, installed extensions, license, and (optionally) statistics.
list-wikis List every configured wiki — its key, sitename, server, whether it is read-only or the default, whether it is reachable, which extension-gated tools work on it, and, for an OAuth-configured wiki, its authorization server. Disabled when fewer than two wikis are configured.
parse-wikitext Render wikitext to HTML without saving. Returns parse warnings, wikilinks, templates, and external URLs.
search-page Search wiki page titles and contents.
search-page-by-prefix Search page titles by prefix.
whoami Report the identity the current session is authenticated as on the targeted wiki — username, whether it is anonymous, and group memberships (optionally user rights).

MediaWiki-MCP-Server FAQ

Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and other assistants that support MCP servers.
Do I need an account or a key?
Not for reading. It reaches English Wikipedia straight away. Editing, uploading, or deleting requires signing in with your own account on that wiki.
How hard is setup?
Claude Desktop has a downloadable file you double-click. Other apps take a short pasted block, or a one-click install link for VS Code and Cursor.
Can I use this to edit my own company wiki?
Yes. Point it at your wiki's address, sign in, and it can create, update, move, and delete pages and upload files.
Can it handle more than one wiki?
Yes. Configure several, then name the one you want to act on, or let it fall back to your default.
Will it change pages without me asking?
Editing only works once you have set up sign-in for that wiki, and any wiki can be marked read-only.
