Headless MediaWiki management for Claude Code

Automate your documentation updates using command-line instructions. Claude Code connects to the server and uses `get_site_info` to configure its environment parameters. It executes changes without a browser. By chaining `get_tokens` and `edit_page`, the agent pushes updates during your build process or deployment scripts.

Pipeline integration with Claude Code

Incorporate wiki data into your CI/CD workflow. Use `list_recent_changes` to trigger alerts or documentation syncs whenever your wiki receives a new edit. It handles data programmatically. The agent passes results from `get_page_info` into downstream tools to verify documentation health before your code reaches production.

Bulk data extraction for Claude Code

Query your entire wiki with `list_all_pages`. Claude Code iterates through your repository to extract metadata or verify links without manual overhead. It processes large datasets quickly. The agent uses `get_page_categories` to group findings, making it easy to identify orphaned pages or broken documentation paths.
