Wikijs MCP Server

Wikijs becomes available to MCP clients through the wikijs mcp server. An MCP server that connects Claude to your Wiki.js instance. Search, read, create, update, move, and delete wiki pages through natural language.

What Wikijs does

An MCP server that connects Claude to your Wiki.js instance. Search, read, create, update, move, and delete wiki pages through natural language.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 12 tools directly:

• wiki_search — Full-text search across all wiki pages
• wiki_get_page — Get a page by path or ID, with optional metadata_only and include_render modes
• wiki_list_pages — List pages with optional tag filtering and sort order
• wiki_get_tree — Get the hierarchical folder/page tree structure
• wiki_create_page — Create a new page
• wiki_update_page — Update a page via full replacement or surgical find-and-replace (edits)
• wiki_move_page — Move a page to a new path and/or locale
• wiki_delete_page — Delete a page
• wiki_list_tags — List all tags used across the wiki
• wiki_get_site_info — Get wiki site metadata (title, description, host)
• wiki_get_history — Get page edit history with pagination
• wiki_get_version — Retrieve a specific historical version of a page

Installing the wikijs mcp server

The server is distributed via PyPI as wikijs-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: WIKIJS_URL, WIKIJS_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ - A Wiki.js instance with API access enabled - A Wiki.js API key (Administration > API Access > New API Key)

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Wikijs sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — wiki_search, wiki_get_page, wiki_list_pages among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
• With 12 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Wikijs.
• Maintained by jaalbin24, written in Python.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the wikijs mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
