}MediaWiki MCP Server
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). |

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 |

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). |

Resources
mcp://wikis/{wikiKey} — per-wiki resource exposing sitename, server (the wiki's public address), articlepath, scriptpath, and the private and readOnly flags.
- Those fields are the whole of it: the resource publishes a fixed list, so credentials and server-side settings in your configuration file are never exposed in resource content.
- After
add-wikiorremove-wiki, the server sendsnotifications/resources/list_changedso clients refresh.
{
"contents": [
{
"uri": "mcp://wikis/en.wikipedia.org",
"mimeType": "application/json",
"text": "{ \"sitename\":\"Wikipedia\",\"server\":\"https://en.wikipedia.org\",\"articlepath\":\"/wiki\",\"scriptpath\":\"/w\",\"private\":false }"
}
]
}
Environment variables
The variables below are relevant to any setup. Variables that only apply when self-hosting the HTTP transport (ports, timeouts, Host/Origin and SSRF guards) or running the hosted OAuth proxy are in docs/deployment.md — environment variables. Config-file substitution and upload-directory variables are in docs/configuration.md.
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
CONFIG |
Path to your configuration file | config.json |
MCP_TRANSPORT |
Type of MCP server transport (stdio or http) |
stdio |
MCP_LOG_LEVEL |
Minimum severity for logger output. One of debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency, or silent. |
debug |
MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES |
Byte cap for the content bodies and result blocks tools return (wikitext, rendered HTML, diffs, statement and row listings). Tune to the target LLM client's tool-response budget. | 50000 |
MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES |
Hard cap on the base64-encoded size of a get-file-data response. A transport/safety backstop; tune the actual size per call with the tool's width. Over-cap calls error rather than truncate. |
1000000 |
MCP_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES |
Memory cap on the server-side fetch used by upload-file-from-url / update-file-from-url. Files larger than this are handed to the wiki's own copy-upload instead of being buffered by the server. Guards this server's memory, not the wiki's $wgMaxUploadSize. |
104857600 |
MCP_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS_FILE |
Override the default credentials store path. Default: ~/.config/mediawiki-mcp/credentials.json (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\mediawiki-mcp\credentials.json (Windows). |
unset |
MCP_OAUTH_NO_BROWSER |
Set to 1 to skip launching a browser during the OAuth flow; the auth URL is logged to stderr instead. Useful in headless environments. |
unset |
Configuration
[!NOTE] Config is only required when interacting with a private wiki or using authenticated tools.
Create a config.json file to configure wiki connections. Use the config.example.json as a starting point.
