MediaWiki MCP Server
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| CONFIG | No | Path to your configuration file. | config.json |
| MCP_BIND | No | The HTTP transport binds to `127.0.0.1` by default. When you open it up with `MCP_BIND=0.0.0.0`, set `MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS` to the hostnames your proxy forwards and `MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` to the browser origins allowed to call the server. | 127.0.0.1 |
| MCP_LOG_LEVEL | No | Minimum severity for logger output. One of `debug`, `info`, `notice`, `warning`, `error`, `critical`, `alert`, `emergency`, or `silent`. | debug |
| MCP_TRANSPORT | No | Type of MCP server transport (`stdio` or `http`). | stdio |
| MCP_USER_AGENT | No | Replaces the `User-Agent` header of every outbound request, so wiki operators can reach you. Give a name and an email or URL, e.g. `ExampleBot/1.0 (bot@example.org)`. | mediawiki-mcp-server/<version> (https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/MediaWiki-MCP-Server) |
| MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS | No | Set to the hostnames your proxy forwards, to block DNS rebinding attacks when `MCP_BIND` is set to `0.0.0.0`. | |
| MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS | No | Set to the browser origins allowed to call the server, to block DNS rebinding attacks when `MCP_BIND` is set to `0.0.0.0`. | |
| MCP_OAUTH_NO_BROWSER | No | Set to `1` to skip launching a browser during the OAuth flow; the auth URL is logged to stderr instead. Useful in headless environments. | |
| MCP_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES | No | Memory cap on the server-side fetch used by `upload-file-from-url` / `update-file-from-url`. Files larger than this are handed to the wiki's own copy-upload instead of being buffered by the server. Guards this server's memory, not the wiki's `$wgMaxUploadSize`. | 104857600 |
| MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES | No | Byte cap for the content bodies and result blocks tools return (wikitext, rendered HTML, diffs, statement and row listings), applied once per response. Tune to the target LLM client's tool-response budget. | 75000 |
| MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES | No | Hard cap on the base64-encoded size of a `get-file-data` response. A transport/safety backstop; tune the actual size per call with the tool's `width`. Over-cap calls error rather than truncate. | 1000000 |
| MCP_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS_FILE | No | Override the default credentials store path. Default: `~/.config/mediawiki-mcp/credentials.json` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\mediawiki-mcp\credentials.json` (Windows). |
