Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Wikidata MCP Server?
Connect to Wikidata, the central storage for structured data of Wikimedia projects. This MCP server allows your AI agent to tap into millions of items, properties, and statements using both traditional SPARQL queries and modern vector-based semantic search.
What you can do
- Entity Retrieval — Fetch full data and statements for any Wikidata Item (e.g., Q42) using the
get_itemandget_item_statementstools. - Advanced Querying — Execute complex SPARQL queries against the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) with
execute_sparqlto find relationships and patterns across the entire graph. - Semantic Search — Use
search_items_vectorandsearch_properties_vectorto find entities and properties based on meaning rather than just exact keywords. - Data Contribution — Update the knowledge graph by creating statements or setting descriptions with
create_statementandset_item_description(requires OAuth). - Similarity Analysis — Compare text strings against specific entities to get semantic similarity scores using
get_similarity_score.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your User Agent (required by Wikimedia policy)
- Optionally provide an OAuth 2.0 Access Token for write operations
- Start exploring the world's knowledge from your favorite AI client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Academics — instantly verify facts, dates, and relationships across history, science, and culture.
- Data Scientists — extract structured datasets for analysis or training without leaving the chat interface.
- Developers — find entity IDs and property schemas to integrate into applications or automate data enrichment.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Wikidata as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 8 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Wikidata data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Wikidata tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
How can I find a Wikidata Item if I don't know its Q-ID?
You can use the search_items_vector tool. It performs a hybrid search using high-dimensional embeddings and keywords to find the most relevant entities based on your natural language description.
Is it possible to run complex queries like 'List all female scientists born in the 19th century'?
Yes, the execute_sparql tool allows you to run any valid SPARQL query against the Wikidata Query Service. This is the most powerful way to filter and aggregate data across the entire knowledge graph.
Can I use this server to update information on Wikidata?
Yes, if you provide an OAuth 2.0 Access Token, you can use create_statement to add new data or set_item_description to update descriptions in various languages.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
