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_item and get_item_statements tools.
Advanced Querying — Execute complex SPARQL queries against the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) with execute_sparql to find relationships and patterns across the entire graph.
Semantic Search — Use search_items_vector and search_properties_vector to 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_statement and set_item_description (requires OAuth).
Similarity Analysis — Compare text strings against specific entities to get semantic similarity scores using get_similarity_score.

How it works

FAQ

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
