Wowhead MCP

Lets AI agents read Wowhead for every World of Warcraft version: items, drops, quests, NPCs, spells, guides, news and patch notes. It is a read-only MCP server that runs on your own computer and needs no account, key or browser.

Unofficial and not affiliated with Wowhead or Blizzard.

Tools

Related MCP server: wow-vanilla-mcp

Editions

get_page reads the version from the page itself and keeps only comments written for that version, so a Classic page never shows Retail comments.

A server locked to one edition drops the edition input and refuses pages of other versions, checked after redirects. Lock it with WOWHEAD_EDITION, like forever.

Install

Requires Node 22 or later and git. Your agent starts the server itself, so nothing needs to keep running.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user wowhead -- npx -y github:miyankooo/wowhead-mcp#semver:^1

Locked to one version, like WoW Forever:

claude mcp add --scope user wowhead --env WOWHEAD_EDITION=forever -- npx -y github:miyankooo/wowhead-mcp#semver:^1

Claude desktop app

In Settings, Developer, Edit Config, add the server and restart the app. Leave out env to read every version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wowhead": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:miyankooo/wowhead-mcp#semver:^1"],
      "env": { "WOWHEAD_EDITION": "forever" }
    }
  }
}

Other agents

Cursor, VS Code, Codex and other MCP clients run the same command as a stdio server: npx -y github:miyankooo/wowhead-mcp#semver:^1, with WOWHEAD_EDITION in its environment to lock a version.

Your own Worker

src/worker.js serves the same tools on Cloudflare Workers at /mcp, and locked to one edition at paths like /forever/mcp. Callers from the internet get 30 requests a minute per IP. Your other Workers can call it through a service binding, which skips that limit.

This repo runs no Worker of its own. For a public copy of your own, change name and set workers_dev to true in wrangler.jsonc, then deploy:

npm install
npx wrangler deploy

A public copy also works in claude.ai and the Claude apps: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste its URL. Every request counts against your Cloudflare account's free daily requests.

Your own code

Import createServer from wowhead-mcp/src/server.js, optionally with { edition: 'forever' }, and connect it to any MCP transport.

How it behaves

• Tells agents how to use it when they connect: look facts up instead of answering from memory, read long pages to the end and read the change markers in patch notes.

• Follows Wowhead's robots.txt. Names are looked up in database listings like /forever/quests/name:library, because /search is disallowed for bots.

• Names this repo in its User-Agent, and caches answers for an hour.

• Fetches nothing outside Wowhead.

Limits

• Lookups match names in English.

• Wowhead's page layout can change. The live tests catch that, and the parser then needs an update.

• For personal, non-commercial use. The data belongs to Wowhead, and its terms apply.

Develop

npm install
npm test

The tests read Wowhead live. Try the server in the MCP Inspector with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node src/index.js.
