Pull live MediaWiki context into Cursor Agent

The `search_pages` tool feeds live wiki documentation directly into your Cursor Agent sessions. When you write code against a custom wiki API, Cursor runs `get_site_info` to inspect the settings of your target MediaWiki instance. This eliminates the need to keep a documentation tab open while writing code in Cursor. The editor inspects real-time wiki schemas and page structures to write accurate, tailored code.

Write wiki updates directly from this MCP Server

The `edit_page` tool lets you commit code documentation or release notes from Cursor straight to your wiki. Your agent gets a secure token using `get_tokens` and executes the edit without leaving the terminal view. You can write a markdown file in Cursor and tell the agent to publish it. The agent handles the MediaWiki write protocol, saving you from navigating the web interface.

Track MediaWiki revisions inside Cursor

The `get_page_revisions` tool retrieves the edit history of any article directly into your Cursor chat using this MCP integration. The agent uses this data to compare versions or roll back bad edits using raw metadata. When debugging a broken system, you ask Cursor to check the wiki for recent configuration changes. The agent calls `list_recent_changes` to pinpoint exactly when and why a document was updated.

Setup guide

Set up MediaWiki MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the MediaWiki MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent MediaWiki transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the MediaWiki tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
