# MediaWiki MCP Server An MCP server that lets an AI client read and edit pages on any MediaWiki wiki: search, revision history, files, categories. - MCP server · `type=mcp` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI · ★ 140 - Author: ProfessionalWiki - License: MIT · policy=link-only · description only; the file stays with the author - Source: https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/MediaWiki-MCP-Server - Updated: 2026-10-22 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/mediawiki-mcp-server ## What it does The server hands your agent a set of tools for wiki work. Reads: `get-page`, `get-pages` (up to 50 pages per call), `get-page-history`, `get-revision`, `compare-pages`, `search-page`, `search-page-by-prefix`, `get-category-members`, `get-links-here`, `get-recent-changes`, `get-file`, `get-file-data`, `parse-wikitext`, `get-site-info` and `whoami`. Writes are marked with a lock: `create-page`, `update-page`, `delete-page`, `move-page`, `protect-page`, `undelete-page`, `upload-file`, `upload-file-from-url`, `update-file`, `update-file-from-url` — each needs the matching right on the wiki. Every wiki-facing tool takes an optional `wiki` argument: a key like `en.wikipedia.org` or the full `mcp://wikis/{wikiKey}` URI. Omit it and the call goes to the configured default wiki. Wiki management (`add-wiki`, `remove-wiki`) turns off with `allowWikiManagement`, and `remove-wiki` plus `list-wikis` stay disabled when only one wiki is configured. The OAuth tools `oauth-status` and `oauth-logout` are stdio only. Extension packs cover NeoWiki (schemas, read-only Cypher queries against the knowledge graph, subjects), Semantic MediaWiki (`smw-query`), Bucket, Cargo and Wikibase. Those tools register only on wikis where the extension is installed, so a plain MediaWiki install won't show them. Installation runs through `npx`, so Node.js has to be on the machine, and connection settings go in the `CONFIG` variable. ## Requirements - Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx) - Environment variables: `CONFIG`, `MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK`, `MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES`, `MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES`, `MCP_LOG_LEVEL`, `MCP_MAX_REQUEST_BODY`, `MCP_METRICS`, `MCP_OAUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECTS`, `MCP_OAUTH_CIMD_ALLOWED_HOSTS`, `MCP_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS_FILE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Platform CLI** ```bash claude mcp add --env CONFIG= --env MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK= --env MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES= --env MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES= --env MCP_LOG_LEVEL= --transport stdio mediawiki-mcp-server -- npx -y @professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 13 more environment variables are in the server README ### Codex **Platform CLI** ```bash codex mcp add mediawiki-mcp-server --env CONFIG= --env MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK= --env MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES= --env MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES= --env MCP_LOG_LEVEL= -- npx -y @professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 13 more environment variables are in the server README ### Cursor **Config file** File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "mediawiki-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server" ], "env": { "CONFIG": "", "MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK": "", "MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES": "", "MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES": "", "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 13 more environment variables are in the server README ### GitHub Copilot **Config file** File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "mediawiki-mcp-server": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server" ], "env": { "CONFIG": "", "MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK": "", "MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES": "", "MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES": "", "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 13 more environment variables are in the server README ### Gemini CLI **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini mcp add -e CONFIG= -e MCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK= -e MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES= -e MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES= -e MCP_LOG_LEVEL= mediawiki-mcp-server npx -y @professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 13 more environment variables are in the server README ## When to use it - read a wiki page and its revision history without opening a browser - find every page that links to a given one - diff two revisions of a page and summarize the change - create or extend a wiki page from the agent - upload a file to the wiki from a URL ## Example prompts - Find the wiki pages about MCP and show which ones link to the MediaWiki page - Compare the last two revisions of the `Model Context Protocol` page and tell me what changed - Create a page `Draft/Test` with the text from this file ## Similar - [REA](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/rea.md) — MCP server · ★ 386989 - [GitHub](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/github.md) — MCP server · ★ 33918 - [Netdata](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/netdata.md) — MCP server · ★ 81115 - [browser-use](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/browser-use.md) — MCP server · ★ 119160 - [Codebase Memory](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/codebase-memory.md) — MCP server · ★ 47392 - [mcp-server](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/mcp-server.md) — MCP server · ★ 43872 --- NeVibeCode on affpapa.org.
