FAQ from Wikimedia MCP Server

What tools does the server provide?

The server provides six tools: search_content, search_titles, get_page, get_languages, get_featured, and get_on_this_day. Each has parameters like query, title, date, language, and project.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.12 or later and the uv package manager. The server also requires the MCP server framework (installed automatically via uv).

Do I need an API key or credentials?

No. The server uses public Wikimedia APIs and requires no sensitive data or credentials. Rate limiting is handled by the Wikimedia API.

Can I search in different languages?

Yes. Most tools accept a language parameter (e.g., en, de, fr, es, ru, ja, zh). Some tools also support a project parameter (default wikipedia) to query other Wikimedia projects.
