BookStack (Wiki)

What is the BookStack (Wiki) MCP Server?

Connect your BookStack instance to any AI agent and turn your documentation into an interactive knowledge base through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Content Hierarchy — List and manage shelves, books, chapters, and pages using list_shelves, list_books, and list_pages to maintain perfect organization.
  • Smart Search — Find exactly what you need across your entire wiki instance with the powerful search tool.
  • Full Content Lifecycle — Create, update, or delete pages and chapters directly from your agent to keep documentation fresh.
  • Multi-format Export — Use export_page to retrieve content in PDF, Markdown, HTML, or Plaintext formats for external use.
  • System Oversight — Monitor your instance with get_system_status, check list_audit_log for recent changes, or manage the list_recycle_bin.
  • Attachments — Manage file attachments linked to your documentation using the dedicated attachment tools.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your BookStack URL, Token ID, and Token Secret
  3. Start managing your knowledge base from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Documentation Leads — maintain and organize large wikis without manual navigation
  • Engineering Teams — search for technical specs and update READMEs directly from the IDE
  • Support Teams — quickly find and export help articles for customers

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings BookStack (Wiki) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 32 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I search across all my books and chapters at once?

Yes! Use the search tool with your query string. It will return relevant results from pages, chapters, and books across your entire BookStack instance.

02

Is it possible to retrieve a page's content in Markdown format?

Absolutely. Use the export_page tool and set the format to 'markdown'. You can also export to PDF, HTML, or plaintext.

03

How do I see what was recently deleted?

You can use the list_recycle_bin tool to view items that have been moved to the recycle bin before they are permanently removed from the system.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
