Overview

What is Wikimedia MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to interact with Wikimedia APIs. It enables natural language queries to search, retrieve, and explore content from Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

How to use Wikimedia MCP Server?

Install using the uv package manager (Python 3.12+). Configure the server in Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers with the command uvx wikimedia (for published) or uv run wikimedia (for development). Once connected, call tools such as search_content, get_page, or get_featured with required parameters.

Frequently asked questions

1

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.

2

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`).

3

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.

4

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.

5

How is security handled?

All user inputs are validated. No sensitive data or credentials are required, and error messages do not expose internal details.
