Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Diff two versions of a wiki page by revision, title, or supplied wikitext.
get-category-members
List members of a category (up to 500 per call, paginated via `continueFrom`).
get-file
Fetch a file page.
get-file-data
Fetch a file's image bytes inline (base64) for visual analysis — for clients that can't reach the wiki host. Returns a scaled rendition (set `width`); non-renderable types (audio, video, binaries) error. For metadata or a download URL, use `get-file`.
get-links-here
List pages that reference a wiki page — pages that link to it, embed it as a template, or display it as a file (select via `type`), including pages that reach it through a redirect. Up to 500 per call, paginated via `continueFrom`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
MediaWiki MCP Server is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, PraisonAI belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select MediaWiki MCP Server when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and PraisonAI when you require tools for developer tools.
List recent change events across the wiki, filterable by timestamp, namespace, user, tag, type, and hide flags (up to 50 per call, paginated via `continue`).
get-revision
Fetch a specific revision of a page.
get-site-info
Get a wiki's key settings: MediaWiki version, content language, title-case rules, namespaces, installed extensions, license, and (optionally) statistics.
list-wikis
List every configured wiki — its key, sitename, server, whether it is read-only or the default, whether it is reachable, which extension-gated tools work on it, and, for an OAuth-configured wiki, its authorization server. Disabled when fewer than two wikis are configured.
