Can I use this with Wikipedia?

Yes. This MCP works with any MediaWiki instance, including public sites like Wikipedia.

Do I need special permissions to edit pages?

Yes. To use the edit_page capability, you must provide the correct credentials and fetch a CSRF token via the MCP.

Which AI clients can I use this with?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

How does the agent handle security tokens?

The MCP includes a get_tokens capability specifically to fetch the tokens required for modifying data.

Can the agent see who made recent changes?

Yes. The list_recent_changes capability provides information about recent edits and the users who made them.

How do I get the actual text content of a specific wiki page?

Use the get_page_revisions capability with the page title. You can specify rvprop as 'content' to retrieve the full text of the latest revision.

Can I see all pages that belong to a specific category like 'Physics'?

Yes! Use the list_category_members capability and provide the category title (e.g., 'Category:Physics'). It will return a list of all pages filed under that category.

How do I check the general settings and namespaces of the wiki?

Simply run the get_site_info capability. It fetches general information about the MediaWiki site, including its configuration and available namespaces.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Automated Documentation Updates

Your agent can update technical docs directly after you provide the new information.

Rapid Knowledge Retrieval

Instead of clicking through categories, your agent finds the exact page you need instantly.

Wiki Activity Tracking

Your agent monitors recent changes to alert you to important updates in the knowledge base.

Research Synthesis

Your agent pulls data from multiple Wikipedia pages to compile a single report.

Automate a task

Put MediaWiki to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

How to extract wiki data

One connector, every AI

MediaWiki works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put MediaWiki to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 13 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of MediaWiki, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with MediaWiki. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
