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.

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 | $0.00084 | $0.01705 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00682 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00341 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
wikipedia-guide scanned grade A with 0 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 today.
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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scope
Wikipedia prose in every language edition: full-text search, summaries, section and full-article reads, geotagged articles near a coordinate, an article's interlanguage links, and the footnotes it cites. Keyless and read-only.
Each call reads one edition. No tool searches several editions at once, and none covers Wikidata statements, page history, or other Wikimedia projects. For structured facts, or to turn a QID into titles, hand the wikibase_item QID to a Wikidata tool.
Identifiers
| Identifier | Where it comes from | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Search results, the resolved title of any read, languages[].title from wikipedia_get_languages |
Belongs to one edition. The same spelling can name a different subject elsewhere: Gift is the present article on en (Q184303) and the poison article on de (Q40867) |
Edition (language) |
edition_code from wikipedia_get_languages |
Simple English is simple |
section_index |
index from wikipedia_get_sections, or the (section_index: N) labels on an outlined full read |
Not the number column. On Seine, index 10 is section number "6" |
QID (wikibase_item) |
wikipedia_get_summary, search results, and nearby results, each when present | The same across editions (Seine is Q1471 on en, fr, and simple). Output only: as a title it fails not_found, and as a query it matches nothing |
| Coordinates | latitude/longitude on wikipedia_get_summary |
Geotags belong to each edition's article. Seine has them on en but not on fr |
Gates
Never carry a title across editions. Get the target edition's title from wikipedia_get_languages. If you found it by searching that edition instead, check that its wikibase_item matches the source article's before treating it as the same subject.
Check page_type before reading an ambiguous title in depth. Only wikipedia_get_summary flags a disambiguation page. wikipedia_get_sections and wikipedia_get_article read one as if it were an article: Mercury returns dozens of "sections" (Companies, Computing, Film and television …) with no flag. To pick the intended article:
- Read the disambiguation page's sections. They list one candidate per line, title first ("Mercury Drug, a Philippine pharmacy chain").
- Or search. On en, the disambiguation page's own result carries the description "Topics referred to by the same term", and the other results' descriptions separate the candidates.
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.

wikipedia-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/wikipedia-mcp-server (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,705 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-29.
