mediawiki

The MediaWiki MCP server allows you to seamlessly integrate with MediaWiki-based wikis, enabling AI assistants to search, read, and edit wiki content efficiently. This tool is designed for developers who want to enhance their applications with dynamic wiki interactions, facilitating access to vast amounts of information stored in MediaWiki installations.

Once connected to the MediaWiki MCP server, you can perform a variety of operations such as searching for specific articles, retrieving content, and executing edits on wiki pages. You can issue queries through your AI assistant or application, focusing on retrieving text, section data, or performing updates. The server is optimized for handling queries related to wiki structure and content, making it ideal for applications that require real-time information retrieval and editing capabilities.

Prerequisites

Before installing the MediaWiki MCP server, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download it from the Node.js official website.

Option A: Quick start with npx

If available, you can quickly start using the MediaWiki MCP server with npx:

npx -y olgasafonova/mediawiki-mcp-server  

Option B: Global install alternative

Alternatively, you can install the server globally (if an npm package is available in the future) using:

npm install -g olgasafonova/mediawiki-mcp-server  

Make sure to check the repository for any updates regarding the npm package.

When configuring the MediaWiki MCP server, ensure that you set your MediaWiki API endpoint correctly in the environment variables for smooth communication. You may also want to adjust timeout settings for long-running queries to prevent disconnections. A common gotcha is overlooking authentication requirements for private wikis, so double-check your API permissions.
