Wikipedia MCP Server

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.

Fetch the short article summary that answers "what is X?". The extract is a truncated fragment from the start of the lead section — usually a sentence or two, and as little as a tenth of the lead — alongside the Wikidata QID (wikibase_item) for cross-referencing with wikidata-mcp-server, a short description, a thumbnail URL, the canonical article URL, the revision the extract was read from, an

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 articl
