This MediaWiki MCP Server lets you connect a bot user to a MediaWiki installation via the MediaWiki API, enabling LLM-driven editing, searching, parsing, and page management through a defined set of tools.

How to use

You interact with the server through an MCP client to perform common MediaWiki actions. Use the available wiki_ prefixed tools to edit pages, retrieve content, parse wikitext, compare pages, and search. The server handles authentication, CSRF tokens, and session state, so you can focus on your content tasks and workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need the UV toolchain for your environment and a configured MediaWiki instance you want to manage.

Clone the project and switch to the main branch, then install dependencies with UV.

uv install

# Optional: run the server after installation
uv run mediawiki-api-mcp

# Or start directly with Python if you prefer
python -m mediawiki_api_mcp.server

Configuration and run

Configure the MCP server to connect to your MediaWiki installation by providing the API URL, bot username, bot password, and a user agent string. You can run the server locally using UV as shown above.

Example local start command (as provided for client configuration):

uv run mediawiki-api-mcp

# Or, if you prefer the explicit Python module approach
python -m mediawiki_api_mcp.server
