What it does

Reads and searches MediaWiki content. Most companies with a wiki have the same problem — the answer exists and cannot be found — and an agent with search access solves the finding part. Keep edits behind approval; a wiki's value is that a person vouched for each page.

Install

Terminal

npx -y @professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mediawiki": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@professional-wiki/mediawiki-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Use it for

Searching a corporate or community wiki for the page nobody can find

Skip it if

Editing pages unattended; wikis are reviewed by humans for a reason

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs wiki inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
