Connect AI assistants and scripts to MediaWiki sites for search, page editing, link analysis, history, and Markdown conversion.
Quick Install
Automated & IDE SetupCopy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.
One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.
Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON ▾
No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for olgasafonova/mediawiki-mcp-server, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.

Documentation Overview
MediaWiki MCP Server
Connect your AI assistant to any MediaWiki wiki, or script it directly from the terminal. Search, read, and edit wiki content using natural language or the wiki CLI.
Three ways to use it:
- MCP server — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, n8n, VS Code, Google ADK, or any MCP-compatible tool. See SETUP.md.
wikiCLI — same API client, same auth, no AI needed. For shell pipelines, CI checks, cron jobs. See CLI.md.- Claude Code plugin —
/plugin marketplace add olgasafonova/mediawiki-mcp-serveradds wiki skills directly to Claude Code. See .claude-plugin/README.md.

What Can You Do?
The same operation works from a prompt (via MCP) or directly in your shell (via the wiki CLI):
| Goal | Prompt your AI | From your terminal |
|---|---|---|
| Search the wiki | "What does our wiki say about onboarding?" | wiki search "onboarding" |
| Read a page | "Show me the Getting Started page" | wiki page "Getting Started" |
| Find broken links | "Are there broken links on the Docs page?" | wiki links broken --json |
| Find stale content | "Which pages haven't been updated in 90 days?" | wiki stale-pages --days 90 |
| Cross-link suggestions | "What pages are similar to the API Reference?" | wiki similar "API Reference" |
| Audit wiki health | "Run a health check on the wiki" | wiki audit --json |
| Publish markdown | "Publish this README to the wiki" | wiki publish README.md "Page Title" |
| Strike a name | "Strike out John Smith on the Team page" | wiki replace "Team" --find "John Smith" --replace "<s>John Smith</s>" |
For the full tool list, see TOOLS.md. The CLI returns typed exit codes for CI-friendly branching — see CLI.md.
30-Second Start
- Get the binary. Download from Releases or
go build -o mediawiki-mcp-server .(requires Go 1.24+). - Find your wiki API URL — usually
https://your-wiki.com/api.php. Wikipedia ishttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php. VisitSpecial:Versionto confirm. - Wire it up to your AI tool — see SETUP.md for the configuration that matches your client.
Reading public wikis works without login. Private/corporate wikis and editing require a bot password — SETUP.md#editing-wiki-pages.
Example Prompts
📖 More examples: see WIKI_USE_CASES.md for detailed workflows by persona (content editors, documentation managers, developers).
Search and read:
- "What does our wiki say about deployment?"
- "Give me a quick overview of the Configuration page"
- "Get the content of Main Page, FAQ, and Setup all at once"
Track changes:
- "What pages were updated this week?"
- "Show me the diff between the last two versions"
- "Who are the most active editors this month?"
Check quality:
- "Are there broken links on this page?"
- "Find orphaned pages with no links to them"
- "Find pages similar to the Installation Guide"
- "Find pages not updated in the last 90 days"
Page management (requires auth):
- "Rename 'Old Guide' to 'Updated Guide'"
- "Strike out John Smith on the Team page"
- "Replace 'version 2.0' with 'version 3.0' on Release Notes"
File uploads and search (requires auth):
- "Upload this image from URL to the wiki"
- "Upload this local file to the wiki" (the agent base64-encodes the bytes; no public URL needed)
- "Search for 'budget' in File:Annual-Report.pdf"
Convert Markdown:
- "Convert this README to wiki format"
- "Convert with Tieto branding and CSS" (use theme="tieto", add_css=true)
PDF Search Setup
PDF search requires the pdftotext tool from poppler-utils. Text file search (TXT, MD, CSV, etc.) works without any dependencies.
| Platform | Install Command |
|---|---|
| macOS | brew install poppler |
| Ubuntu/Debian | apt install poppler-utils |
| RHEL/CentOS | yum install poppler-utils |
| Windows | choco install poppler |
Windows alternative: Download binaries from poppler-windows releases and add to PATH.

Troubleshooting
Common issues and fixes live in SETUP.md#troubleshooting. For deeper diagnostics, the HTTP server exposes /health, /ready, and /status endpoints — see DEPLOYMENT.md.
Development
Build, test, and contribute: see CONTRIBUTING.md. For the system design, package layout, and data flow, see ARCHITECTURE.md.
Run the full check before pushing:
Integration tests run against a real MediaWiki instance via docker-compose.test.yml. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the workflow.
