Wikispecies Mcp

A local MCP server that gives an assistant access to Wikispecies, the Wikimedia taxonomy wiki, for looking up species taxonomy without an API key.

What you can do

Provides species taxonomy information sourced from Wikispecies, the Wikimedia project for taxonomic classification of living organisms. The manifest lists no individual tools, so the exact operations are not documented; expect lookup-style access to taxonomy data rather than editing. Runs as a local process on the user's machine over stdio.

When to use it

Useful when an assistant needs to check or reference the taxonomic classification of a species and you want a keyless source tied to Wikispecies. Less relevant for general web search or non-taxonomic biology content.

Requirements

Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package wikispecies-mcp, so a Node.js runtime is needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access is implied to reach Wikispecies data.
