How to Use the MediaWiki MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf edit MediaWiki content directly?

Yes. After you authenticate, Cascade uses gettokens and editpage to modify wiki content. It follows your instructions to update text or fix errors without manual copy-pasting.

Q: How does this server handle user authentication?

The server manages your credentials via the gettokens tool. This allows your agent to perform authenticated actions like creating accounts or editing protected pages securely.

Windsurf connects directly to your MediaWiki instance so Cascade can read, edit, and categorize pages without leaving your IDE.

Autonomous page editing in Windsurf

Cascade handles the token handshake for you. It uses `get_tokens` to secure your session before triggering `edit_page` to push updates directly to the server. You describe the goal, and Cascade chains the logic. It verifies your changes using `get_page_info` to ensure the wiki reflects your latest edits immediately.

Search and navigate MediaWiki sites

Stop digging through web browsers to find documentation. Use `search_pages` to pull relevant content into your editor context, then parse relationships with `get_page_links`. Windsurf maps out your wiki structure while you focus on code. It identifies internal dependencies and category hierarchies by executing `get_page_categories` on demand.

Monitor wiki updates in real-time

Track active development on your internal documentation by querying `list_recent_changes`. Cascade keeps you informed by pulling the latest edit metadata automatically. It flags inconsistencies in real-time. By comparing `get_page_revisions` against your local files, the agent highlights exactly what changed since your last sync.
