# MediaWiki MCP Server — Read & Write Wiki Pages

> MCP server for interacting with any MediaWiki wiki; verified 89 stars, npx install, and read/write tools (writes gated behind 🔐 auth).

## Install

Merge the JSON below into your `.mcp.json`:

## Quick Use

```bash
npx @professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server@latest
# optional: set CONFIG=path/to/config.json in your MCP client env
# start with a public wiki (e.g., en.wikipedia.org) to test reads
```

## Intro

MCP server for interacting with any MediaWiki wiki; verified 89 stars, npx install, and read/write tools (writes gated behind 🔐 auth).

**Best for:** Teams who want agents to search, diff, and update MediaWiki content via a tool surface (with auth-gated writes)

**Works with:** npx-based installs, Claude/Cursor MCP configs, multiple auth modes (OAuth/bearer/bot password), optional extension packs

**Setup time:** 5-15 minutes

## Main

- The tool inventory is explicit: page reads (search, history, parse wikitext) plus page writes (create/update/upload) gated behind 🔐 auth requirements.
- It includes quantitative limits that matter for agents: category members up to 500 per call, multi-page fetch up to 50 per call, and recent changes up to 50 per call with pagination.
- Auth and deployment choices are documented: browser OAuth, per-request bearer token, manual OAuth token, or bot password fallback.

### FAQ

- **Can I use it on any wiki?**: The README says it works with any MediaWiki wiki; start with a public wiki to validate read flows.
- **Are write tools always enabled?**: Write tools require authentication and may be hidden when `readOnly` is set in config.
- **What should I verify first?**: Run a `search-page` / `get-page` read before enabling any authenticated write capability.

## Intro

可连接任意 MediaWiki wiki 的 MCP server；已核验 89 stars，可用 npx 安装，提供读写工具（写操作需 🔐 认证），并支持 OAuth/token/bot password 多种方式。

**Best for:** 希望让 agent 通过工具面搜索、diff、更新 MediaWiki 内容，并对写操作做认证控制的团队

**Works with:** 基于 npx 的安装、Claude/Cursor MCP 配置、多种认证方式（OAuth/bearer/bot password），以及可选扩展包

**Setup time:** 5-15 minutes

## Main

- 工具清单非常明确：读操作（搜索、历史、解析 wikitext）+ 写操作（创建/更新/上传）且写操作以 🔐 认证门槛控制。
- README 给出对 agent 很关键的数量上限：category 成员每次最多 500，批量取页面最多 50，recent changes 每次最多 50 且支持分页。
- 认证与部署路径也比较完整：浏览器 OAuth、按请求 bearer token、手动 OAuth token、或 bot password 兜底方案。

### FAQ

- **能连任何 wiki 吗？**：README 写的是可连接任意 MediaWiki wiki；建议先用公有 wiki 验证读链路。
- **写工具默认可用吗？**：写工具需要认证；当配置为 `readOnly` 时会隐藏写工具。
- **第一步验证什么？**：先跑 `search-page` / `get-page` 之类读操作，再考虑开启写能力。
