README

Wikipedia MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for searching and retrieving Wikipedia articles.

Overview

This MCP server enables language models to search Wikipedia and retrieve article content programmatically using the Model Context Protocol. It provides a structured interface for AI assistants to access Wikipedia knowledge.

Features

  • Search Wikipedia: Find articles matching specific search terms
  • Read Full Articles: Retrieve complete Wikipedia articles by title or page ID
  • Markdown Conversion: All article content is automatically converted from HTML

Add it to your MCP Client

Start it via this CLI command:

npx wikipedia-mcp

Most AI tools support a JSON-based configuration for MCP servers looking like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Wikipedia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "wikipedia-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Run npx wikipedia-mcp, then add the server to your MCP client's configuration.

Is wikipedia safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 41 out of 100 (fair). It passes 3 of the 6 static security checks run so far; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is wikipedia still maintained?

The last commit was a year ago. That's long enough that you should check whether the maintainer is responding to issues before depending on it.
