About Wikipedia

Provides a structured interface for searching and retrieving Wikipedia articles in clean Markdown format, enabling access to up-to-date encyclopedia information without hallucinating facts.

Endpoint
Local process; no hosted endpoint documented
Authentication
No credentials were configured; the tested read-only tool “search” succeeded in an isolated environment. Other tools may have additional requirements.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • The public install config and runtime call passed; npm metadata did not declare a repository URL.

Setup steps

  1. npx -y wikipedia-mcp@1.0.3
Tools 2+

The server returned 2 tools in tools/list. Only “search” was invoked with a synthetic read-only input and succeeded.

  • searchParameters: query
    01
  • readArticleParameters: title, pageId
    02

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

Limitations and notes
  • Runtime verification covered one read-only tool call (search); other listed tools were not individually exercised.
  • The npm package metadata did not declare a repository URL; the repository link comes from the public MCP.Directory profile.
Original sources
