Wraps the Wikipedia REST API so you can query articles, summaries, and metadata directly from your MCP client without dealing with authentication or rate limits. The source doesn't list specific tools, but this is a Pipeworx gateway implementation, meaning it's hosted and ready to use immediately. Drop the URL into your config and you get programmatic Wikipedia access. Useful when you need quick factual lookups, article content for context, or reference material during research tasks. Free to use, MIT licensed, and you can self-host from the source repo if you prefer running your own instance.
Wikipedia MCP — wraps Wikipedia REST API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"wikipedia": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wikipedia/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Wikipedia data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
