Overview

MediaWiki MCP Server provides comprehensive tools for interacting with any MediaWiki instance, including Wikipedia. It supports reading pages, categories, files, recent changes, and page history, as well as writing capabilities like creating/updating/deleting pages and files. The server implements robust authentication through OAuth and bot passwords, with special support for MediaWiki extensions like Cargo, Semantic MediaWiki, and Bucket. It can handle multiple wikis dynamically and provides thorough documentation for configuration, deployment, and operations.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 3 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:AI assistant retrieving and summarizing wiki articles and page histories
you:Automated content management and updates to wikis through AI agents
you:Data analysis and reporting from MediaWiki data using AI

When to choose this

Choose this server when you need to integrate AI with MediaWiki instances for content management, especially when working with specialized MediaWiki extensions like Cargo or Semantic MediaWiki.

When NOT to choose this

Avoid this if you need to interact with non-MediaWiki wikis or if your use case requires extensive write operations without proper authentication setup.
