Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account mrfentmen for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search Wikipedia, fetch article summaries, and pull random articles through the Wikimedia REST API.

What you can do: Search Wikipedia for articles matching a query and return results from the Wikimedia REST API. Fetch a summary of a specific Wikipedia article. Retrieve random Wikipedia articles for browsing or discovery.
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs encyclopedic background, quick topic lookups, or article summaries without leaving the conversation, and for casual discovery of random articles.
Requirements: Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed from the npm package @mrfentmen/wikipedia-mcp over stdio. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared. Network access to the Wikimedia REST API is needed. Desktop only.

Before you install

Queries and article requests are sent to the Wikimedia REST API, so search terms and topics leave the local machine. Results depend on Wikipedia's public content and API availability.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
