You can query and fetch information from Wikipedia through a dedicated MCP server. This server exposes two core capabilities—searching for articles by keyword and fetching page content—so you can build chatbots and assistants that retrieve up-to-date Wikipedia information in your preferred language.

How to use

To start using this MCP server, run it locally and connect your MCP client to its runtime. You can perform a keyword search across languages and then fetch the content of a chosen article. Use the search tool to identify the page you want, then request the corresponding page content by its id in your selected language. The server is designed to be language-aware, so specify the language you want in both steps.

How to install

# Prerequisites

- Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+ (depending on how you choose to run the server)
- Access to a command-line interface

# Option 1: Using uvx (recommended)
# No local installation required for the MCP server itself
uvx wikipedia-mcp-server@latest

# Option 2: Install with Python (pip)

# Install the server package
pip install wikipedia-mcp-server

# Run the server
python -m wikipedia_mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wikipedia-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "wikipedia-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```"}]} ,{
