wikipedia-mcp-server
Wikipedia is the kind of data source you end up wanting in half your agent workflows, and this server gives you seven tools to get at it without scraping. Search returns ranked hits with Wikidata QIDs and spelling suggestions, and you can narrow with CirrusSearch operators like incategory or morelike. Summaries and full articles come back as clean plain text with section markers, and get_sections gives you section_index values so you can pull just the part you need instead of blowing your context on a whole page. There's also geosearch by coordinate, a language-edition lister, and a references tool that returns footnotes with their DOIs and archive links. It runs over STDIO or Streamable HTTP, and a public hosted instance is available if you don't want to run it yourself.
