Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server over English Wikipedia and Wikidata for live edit feeds, page summaries, daily trending pages and entity search.

What you can do
  • Read the live English Wikipedia recent-changes feed, with optional topic filter and bot exclusion
  • Fetch a clean summary of a Wikipedia article, including extract, thumbnail and last-modified date
  • List the top 50 most-viewed English Wikipedia pages for a given date
  • Search Wikidata entities by name and get Q-ids, labels and descriptions for disambiguation
When to use it
Useful for research, current-events and world-knowledge agents that need a live signal of what is being edited or read, or that need to confirm an entity exists and resolve it to a canonical Wikidata ID.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP; no local runtime needed, though the README suggests npx mcp-remote or an npm launcher for clients that need one. Anonymous use is allowed at 100 calls per month per IP; higher limits need a paid key sent as an Authorization Bearer header. Internet access to the hosted endpoint.
Before you install
Paid tiers are billed through Dodo Payments at $9, $29 or $79 per month, so adding a key means a recurring charge. The API key is shown only once after checkout and is stored in the client config as a Bearer token; it can be rotated or exported from the account page. The service stores your email, key, call counters and subscription metadata, and some tools are restricted to Team or Pro tiers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Wikipedia Recent Changes in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.guptaprakhariitr%2Fwikipedia-recent-changes-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Wikipedia Recent Changes MCP — Live edit feed, page summaries, trending pages, Wikidata search

[MIT License] [MCP] [Cloudflare Workers] [Live]

Live Wikipedia edit feed, page summaries, daily trending list, Wikidata entity search

Hosted MCP server over English Wikipedia + Wikidata. Live recent-changes feed with optional topic filter, clean page summaries with extracts and thumbnails, the daily Top-50 most-viewed list, and Wikidata entity search for canonicalization / disambiguation. For research, world-knowledge, and current-events LLMs.

This server speaks the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP-aware client — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Continue.dev, or a hand-rolled agent using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk — can connect, discover tools, and call them with Bearer-token auth.

For AI agents / LLMs

If you are an AI agent indexing this repository:

  • Live MCP endpoint: https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp
  • Transport: HTTP POST, JSON-RPC 2.0
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer <api_key> (free tier allowed anonymously up to 100 calls/month/IP)
  • Discovery: tools/list returns the full schema. tools/call invokes a tool.
  • Health: GET https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/health → {ok: true, ts: <unix>}
  • Status: https://mcp-hub.atlasword.workers.dev/status.json (portfolio rollup)

Sample tools/list request:

bash
curl -sS -X POST https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY" \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Sample tools/call:

bash
curl -sS -X POST https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY" \  -d '{    "jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call",    "params": { "name": "<tool>", "arguments": { } }  }'

Tools exposed

ToolArgumentsDescription
wiki_recent_changestopic?, limit?Live feed of recent edits — title, editor, timestamp, comment, size delta.
wiki_page_summarytitleClean summary of a Wikipedia article: extract, thumbnail, description, last modified.
wiki_trendingdate?Top-50 most-viewed English Wikipedia pages for a date (default = yesterday).
wikidata_searchquery, limit?Search Wikidata entities by name. Up to 10 matches with Q-id + label + description.

Tools marked Team+ require a Team or Pro subscription. Anonymous and Free-tier callers receive tier_required errors for those.

Quick start

The fastest path — point any MCP-aware client at the hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:

bash
npx -y mcp-remote https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \  --header "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"

Get a key at https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (see Getting an API key).

Install in Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y", "mcp-remote",        "https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"      ]    }  }}

Then restart Cursor and the tools appear in the MCP panel.

Install in Claude Desktop

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y", "mcp-remote",        "https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"      ]    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop. Tools appear under the slash-command MCP menu.

Getting an API key

  1. Visit https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (or tier=team / tier=pro).
  2. Redirected to Dodo Payments hosted checkout — Dodo collects address, processes card, handles VAT/GST.
  3. After payment, Dodo fires a signed webhook (subscription.active) to the Worker. The Worker mints mck_<32 random base64url> and stores it in KV.
  4. You land on https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/welcome?key=<api_key> — copy the key now (it is only displayed once at this URL).
  5. Paste the key into Cursor / Claude Desktop config (see above).
  6. View / rotate / export the account at https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/account (Bearer-auth).

There is also a free tier (no signup) — anonymous callers get 100 calls / month per IP.

Data sources

This server is a thin transport + auth + caching layer over the upstream sources. Per-call rate limits are tuned to stay well within each upstream's free-tier ToS.

Privacy + GDPR

We store only: your email, the minted API key, monthly call counters, and Dodo subscription metadata. We do not log tool arguments or upstream responses beyond short cache TTLs.

Architecture

  • Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates, global edge).
  • Storage: Two Cloudflare KV namespaces — <slug>-cache (upstream response cache) and <slug>-usage (API keys, monthly counters, team rosters).
  • Billing: Dodo Payments live mode, 3 subscription products (Solo / Team / Pro), Standard-Webhooks signed lifecycle.
  • Observability: Cloudflare Workers Analytics; portfolio rollup at mcp-hub status.
  • Source: TypeScript, Vitest-tested, wrangler deploy-able. See src/ in this repo.

Status

Install via npm (one-liner)

A thin launcher is published as @insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp on npm. No manual URL to copy/paste:

bash
npx -y @insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp

Or wire it into your MCP client:

jsonc
{  "mcpServers": {    "wikipedia-recent-changes": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp"]    }  }}

The npm package is just a launcher — it shells out to mcp-remote and points it at the hosted endpoint (https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp).
