Implementation Reference

• src/mediawiki_mcp_server/main.py:73-83 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'get_page' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration and uses the make_request helper to fetch the page content from the MediaWiki API given the page title.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def get_page(title: str):
      """Get a page from mediawiki.org
      Args:
          title: The title of the page to get, which can be found in title field of the search results
      Returns:
          The page content
      """
      path = f"page/{title}"
      response = await make_request(path, {})
      return response

• src/mediawiki_mcp_server/main.py:75-79 (schema)

• src/mediawiki_mcp_server/main.py:28-46 (helper)

  Supporting helper function that performs the actual HTTP request to the MediaWiki API, handling proxies, redirects, and errors. Invoked by the get_page handler.

  async def make_request(path: str, params: dict) -> httpx.Response:
      headers = {
          "User-Agent": USER_AGENT,
      }
      url = config.base_url + config.path_prefix + path
      proxies = get_proxy_settings()
      async with httpx.AsyncClient(proxies=proxies, follow_redirects=True) as client:
          try:
              response = await client.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
              if response.status_code in (301, 302, 303, 307, 308):
                  final_response = await client.get(
                      response.headers["Location"], headers=headers
                  )
                  return final_response.json()
              return response.json()
          except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
              logger.error(e)
              return {"error": e}
