Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MediaWiki
Connect MediaWiki to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MediaWiki. The mediawiki mcp server is what makes that connection.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables Large Language Model (LLM) clients to interact with any MediaWiki wiki.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
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 aOAuth — The OAuth tool exposed by this serverResources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverCodex — Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install the bundled server:Antigravity — Add the standard configuration to Antigravity's MCP config, either globally in ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json orOpenCode — OpenCode uses its own configuration shape rather than mcpServers; add this to opencode.json in your project root, or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Configuration is passed through the environment: CONFIG. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MediaWiki's toolset — Tools, OAuth, Resources and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ProfessionalWiki; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against MediaWiki's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| OAuth | The OAuth tool exposed by this server. |
| Resources | The Resources tool exposed by this server. |
| Codex | Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install the bundled server: |
| Antigravity | Add the [standard configuration](#standard-configuration) to Antigravity's MCP config, either globally in ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json or per-workspace in .agents/mcp_config.json. |
| OpenCode | OpenCode uses its own configuration shape rather than mcpServers; add this to opencode.json in your project root, or ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json for a global install. |
