In-depth architectural comparison of the MediaWiki MCP Server and Routescore MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
MediaWiki MCP Server
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 57/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Routescore
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 49/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose MediaWiki MCP Server if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a local process. Choose Routescore if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose MediaWiki MCP Server when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
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, Routescore belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select MediaWiki MCP Server when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Routescore 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.

check_swap
Pre-trade check an agent runs before it signs: modeled route quality, price-impact / slippage band, modeled MEV/execution exposure where observable, and a token registry read (recognized vs unverified), as a `clear / caution / unsupported` verdict. Supports Ethereum (1) and Robinhood Chain (4663).…
get_preflight_record
Fetch one persisted preflight evidence record by `record_id` (owner-scoped to the configured key's account). The record embeds the original check response verbatim plus a canonical-JSON SHA-256 integrity hash so the evidence can be re-verified offline. Read-only evidence: record creation rejects kn…
