## Description

Wikipedia MCP Server provides a structured interface for language models to search and retrieve Wikipedia articles programmatically. Built with TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK, it converts HTML content to clean Markdown format using the Turndown library, making it easier for AI assistants to process and present Wikipedia knowledge. The server offers two main functions: searching for articles matching specific terms and retrieving complete article content by title or page ID, enabling AI tools to access up-to-date encyclopedia information without hallucinating facts.
