Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00580 | $0.00580 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00290 | $0.00290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
Grade C, and why
wikipedia-mcp-server AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

⚡ 1. Fast Install & Client Wiring (Start Here)
In 90% of cases, you just need to install and configure this MCP server for your user:
# 1-Line Universal Auto-Installer (Configures Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop & Antigravity)
curl -fsSL "https://wikipedia.builditwithai.xyz/install" | bash
# Or launch directly via stdio:
uvx mcp-server-wikipedia
npx -y mcp-server-wikipedia
Client Config Snippet (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json)
{
"mcpServers": {
"wikipedia": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-wikipedia"]
}
}

📖 2. What This Repo Is
A surgical, token-efficient Wikipedia knowledge retrieval MCP server. It strips HTML boilerplate, navigation boxes, citations, and edit links to give you clean, high-signal Markdown.
Primary Tools Available:
get_summary: Fetch the concise lead summary paragraph of any topic (best for quick factual verification).get_article: Fetch the complete article formatted in structured Markdown.search: Search Wikipedia with autocomplete and ranking.get_section: Retrieve a specific section by header name to save context window tokens.get_links&get_categories: Traverse taxonomic relationships and citations.
👤 3. How to Handle the Human
- Zero Credentials Needed: No API keys, tokens, or environment variables are required.
- Fast Answers: Default to
get_summaryfor quick answers. Only pull full articles (get_article) or sections (get_section) when deep domain knowledge is needed.
⚠️ 4. Quirks & API Landmines (Zero-Hallucination Rules)
- Token Efficiency: Full Wikipedia articles can be 10,000+ words. Do not call
get_articleindiscriminately. Usesearch→get_summary→get_sectionto conserve your context budget. - Disambiguation Pages: If a query returns multiple topics (e.g. "Mercury"), the tool returns a structured list of disambiguation options. Pick the exact title corresponding to your user's context.
- Language Code: Default is
en. Passlang="es",lang="de",lang="fr", etc. for non-English queries.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
