Live Wikipedia edit feed, page summaries, trending pages, and Wikidata search.
Wikipedia Recent Changes MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Wikipedia Recent Changes directly instead of describing what you should do. Live Wikipedia edit feed, page summaries, trending pages, and Wikidata search.
Hosted MCP server over English Wikipedia + Wikidata. Live recent-changes feed with optional topic filter, clean page summaries with extracts and thumbnails, the daily Top-50 most-viewed list, and Wikidata entity search for canonicalization / disambiguation. For research, world-knowledge, and current-events LLMs.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Once Wikipedia Recent Changes is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
wiki_recent_changes — topic?, limit?wiki_page_summary — titlewiki_trending — date?wikidata_search — query, limit?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. Wikipedia Recent Changes's toolset — wiki_recent_changes, wiki_page_summary, wiki_trending and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by guptaprakhariitr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
