@pipeworx/wikimedia-rest

Wikimedia REST API v1 MCP — keyless access to Wikipedia/Wikimedia content endpoints (different surface from the wikipedia action API).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

• page_summary(title, project?, lang?) — page summary card (description, extract, thumbnail) — same shape as the "did you mean" card

• page_html(title, project?, lang?) — page HTML (Parsoid output)

• page_metadata(title, project?, lang?) — page metadata

• page_references(title, project?, lang?) — references on a page

• page_media(title, project?, lang?) — images + videos on a page

• page_related(title, project?, lang?) — related pages

• page_revisions(title, project?, lang?) — recent revisions

• page_pdf(title, project?, lang?) — returns URL only (the PDF endpoint streams binary)

• featured(year, month, day, project?, lang?) — daily featured content (TFA, MP image, news, on-this-day, most-read)

• onthisday(type, month, day, project?, lang?) — on-this-day events (all|births|deaths|events|holidays|selected)

• random(project?, lang?) — random page summary

Data source

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wikimedia-rest": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wikimedia-rest/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Wikimedia Rest data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
