## Description

This MCP server provides seamless integration with MediaWiki instances, enabling AI assistants to interact with wiki content through the MediaWiki REST API. Built by Professional Wiki using TypeScript with comprehensive OAuth authentication support, it offers tools for searching pages, retrieving page content in multiple formats (source, HTML, or metadata only), accessing file information with download links, viewing page revision history, and performing authenticated operations like creating and updating pages. The implementation includes intelligent wiki discovery that automatically detects MediaWiki installations from any wiki URL by probing common paths and parsing HTML content, dynamic configuration management for switching between different wikis during sessions, and support for both read-only operations and authenticated editing workflows. It's valuable for AI assistants that need to research information from Wikipedia or other MediaWiki sites, maintain documentation wikis, or automate content management tasks across multiple MediaWiki installations.
