  • Wikipedia MCP — wraps Wikipedia REST API (free, no auth)

  • Search and read Wikipedia in any language: summaries and full articles. Free, no key.

  • Search Wikipedia articles by full-text query. Returns ranked results with plain-text titles, short descriptions, Wikidata QIDs, snippets (HTML stripped), page IDs, and word counts — the description is usually enough to tell same-named articles apart without a summary call per result. When Wikipedia has a spelling correction for the query, it is returned as suggestion. Best when the exact article title is unknown or when multiple articles on a topic are needed. Pass a result title to wikipedia_get_summary, wikipedia_get_article, or wikipedia_get_sections for follow-up reads. Use offset to page beyond the first result page. Supports all Wikipedia language editions.

  • Fetch the table of contents for a Wikipedia article. Returns section titles, heading levels, section numbering (e.g. "2.1"), and section_index values. The first entry is the lead section, index 0, titled Introduction — the text above the first heading, which Wikipedia's own table of contents omits. Pass a section_index to wikipedia_get_article to retrieve just that section. Useful for enumerating article structure before doing a targeted section read. Redirect pages are followed automatically.

  • List the language editions available for a Wikipedia article. Returns language codes, article titles in each language, and full URLs. Useful for cross-language research and for discovering the correct article title in a target language before fetching it. A popular article exists in hundreds of editions, so pass editions to narrow the answer to the codes you care about — the codes with no article come back under missing, and total_languages still reports the full count. Redirect pages are followed automatically, and source_title reports the resolved article the links belong to. The language parameter specifies which edition to query from.

  • AUTHORITATIVE summary of a Wikipedia article by exact title — typically faster + cheaper than search_wikipedia + get_article_sections + scrape. Returns the article's lead paragraph (the editorial overview), one-line description, thumbnail image, and a few related-content links. Use when you already have the canonical title (got it from search_wikipedia, or it's a well-known entity) and need the standard "what is X" prose answer. For the full section breakdown use get_article_sections.

  • List Wikipedia articles that reference the given domain. Read-only. One HTTPS GET to the Wikipedia API (en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=exturlusage). No auth required; no API keys; no rate limits beyond Wikipedia's public API fair-use policy (~1 request/second). Returns article titles and URLs. Wikipedia backlinks are the highest-lift signal for LLM training corpora — a domain cited from Wikipedia is far more likely to appear in AI training data and citation pools. Use lang to query non-English Wikipedias.

  • Full text of a Wikipedia article by title — the ACTUAL prose AND its tables, not just the lead paragraph. This is how you read a competition schedule, fixture list, medal table, results grid or roster: get_article_extract({title: "Table tennis at the 2026 Asian Games"}) returns the venue, the dates and the day-by-day event schedule. Answers "when is <sport> at <the games>", "what are the <event> dates", "who won <medal event>", "explain X in detail", "what does the article say about <topic>", reading the history/methods/etc. CALL IT DIRECTLY when the title is predictable from the question — Wikipedia titles are regular, so "when is table tennis at the Asian Games" is the article "Table tennis at the 2026 Asian Games", and the same pattern gives "Athletics at the 2028 Summer Olympics", "India at the 2026 Asian Games", "2026 FIFA World Cup". Constructing the title and reading the article beats searching first, because the search snippet is one truncated line and this returns the whole thing. Titles are exact: on a miss you get a user_error naming search_wikipedia as the recovery. PREFER OVER get_article_summary whenever the lead paragraph is not enough. Omit section for the whole article (capped by max_chars); pass a section number (from get_article_sections) for just that one. Returns plain text with headings marked == like this == and table rows one per line, cells separated by | .

  • 1 free call per caller, then $0.005 USDC via x402 (paid in-band: params._meta["x402/payment"]). Wikipedia fact lookup: best-matching Wikipedia article for a query with summary, description, URL and structured Wikidata facts (type, country, headquarters, founded, founders, CEO, website, industry, employees, ticker, population, coordinates). Any Wikipedia language. When to use: Use wiki-fact to ground an entity: summary plus structured facts (founded, HQ, CEO, website).

  • Fetch Wikipedia and Wikimedia project article URLs for a Wikidata item. A sitelink maps a site code (e.g., "enwiki") to a Wikipedia article title and URL. Major items can have 300+ sitelinks across languages. Use sites to filter to specific language editions, or wikis_only to return only Wikipedia links. Only Q-IDs (items) have sitelinks — properties (P-IDs) do not.

  • The plain-language summary of a Wikipedia article in any language edition: title, short description, lead extract, canonical URL, thumbnail and coordinates when the subject has them. Falls back to the best matching title. Query: ?title=Guadeloupe&lang=fr — $0.005000/call, paid per request via x402 (USDC). Use when asked: "wikipedia summary of guadeloupe", "what is x402 on wikipedia", "encyclopedia entry for".

  • Search Wikipedia for encyclopedic facts, sports event schedules, medal tables, officeholder rosters and biographies. Covers multi-sport games and tournaments edition by edition — Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, SEA Games, World Cup — with per-sport competition schedules, session dates, venues, results and medal tables, each on its own article ("Table tennis at the 2026 Asian Games", "Athletics at the 2028 Summer Olympics"). Use it when the article title is NOT predictable from the question, to find the exact title, then read the article body with get_article_extract; when the title IS predictable ("Table tennis at the 2026 Asian Games") skip straight to get_article_extract, since a search snippet is one truncated line. Also the right tool for government composition and officeholder rosters — "current cabinet members of Japan", "list of ministers and their positions", "who is in the German government", "cabinet of <country> 2025" — Wikipedia keeps cabinet, ministry, and government lists current for every country. And for general knowledge: "who is X", "what is Y", "history of Z", definitions. Returns matching article titles, snippets, page IDs, word counts. Chain with get_article_extract for the full text or a single section. Cheaper + more structured than scraping web search results; covers ~7M English articles updated continuously by the Wikipedia community.
