Environment variables

Name Description Default
CONFIG Path to your configuration file config.json
MCP_TRANSPORT Type of MCP server transport (stdio or http) stdio
PORT Port used for StreamableHTTP transport 3000

Configuration

Note: Config is only required when interacting with a private wiki or using authenticated tools.

Create a config.json file to configure wiki connections. Use the config.example.json as a starting point.

Basic structure

{
  "defaultWiki": "en.wikipedia.org",
  "wikis": {
    "en.wikipedia.org": {
      "sitename": "Wikipedia",
      "server": "https://en.wikipedia.org",
      "articlepath": "/wiki",
      "scriptpath": "/w",
      "token": null,
      "username": null,
      "password": null,
      "private": false
    }
  }
}

Configuration fields

Field Description
defaultWiki The default wiki identifier to use (matches a key in wikis)
wikis Object containing wiki configurations, keyed by domain/identifier

Wiki configuration fields

Field Required Description
sitename Yes Display name for the wiki
server Yes Base URL of the wiki (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org)
articlepath Yes Path pattern for articles (typically /wiki)
scriptpath Yes Path to MediaWiki scripts (typically /w)
token No OAuth2 access token for authenticated operations (preferred)
username No Bot username (fallback when OAuth2 is not available)
password No Bot password (fallback when OAuth2 is not available)
private No Whether the wiki requires authentication to read (default: false)

Authentication setup

For tools marked with 🔐, authentication is required.

Preferred method: OAuth2 Token

  1. Navigate to Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose/oauth2 on your wiki
  2. Select "This consumer is for use only by [YourUsername]"
  3. Grant the necessary permissions
  4. After approval, you'll receive:
    • Client ID
    • Client Secret
    • Access Token
  5. Add the token to your wiki configuration in config.json

Note: OAuth2 requires the OAuth extension to be installed on the wiki.

Fallback method: Username & Password

If OAuth2 is not available on your wiki, you can use bot credentials (from Special:BotPasswords ) instead of the OAuth2 token.

    }
  }
},

Development

🐋 Develop with Docker: Replace the npm run part of the command with make (e.g. make inspector).

MCP Inspector

Test and debug the MCP server without a MCP client and LLM.

To start the development server and the MCP Inspector together:

npm run inspector

The command will build and start the MCP Proxy server locally at 6277 and the MCP Inspector client UI at http://localhost:6274.

MCPJam Inspector

Test and debug the MCP server, with a built-in MCP client and support for different LLMs.

To start the development server and the MCP Inspector together:

npm run mcpjam

Test with MCP clients

To enable your MCP client to use this MediaWiki MCP Server for local development:

  1. Install the MCP server on your MCP client.

  2. Change the command and args values as shown in the mcp.json file (or mcp.docker.json if you prefer to run the MCP server in Docker).

  3. Run the dev command so that the source will be compiled whenever there is a change:

    npm run dev

Release process

To release a new version:

1. Use npm version to create a release 
# For patch release (0.1.1 → 0.1.2)
npm version patch

# For minor release (0.1.1 → 0.2.0)
npm version minor

# For major release (0.1.1 → 1.0.0)
npm version major

# Or specify exact version
npm version 0.2.0

This command automatically:

  • Updates package.json and package-lock.json
  • Syncs the version in server.json, mcpb/manifest.json, Dockerfile (via the version script)
  • Creates a git commit
  • Creates a git tag (e.g., v0.2.0)
2. Push to GitHub 
git push origin master --follow-tags

The release GitHub workflow will trigger automatically:
