Secure MCP server for MediaWiki wikis — search, pages, categories, and more

−1 this week 79 Trust /100
Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 23 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency35
  • Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • License check failed: the license (GNU Affero General Public License v3 or later (AGPLv3+)) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license. See how to fix → Fail
  • Actively maintained (last published 201 days ago).Pass
  • Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 1130 tokens (~59/item across 19 items; 19 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management80
  • Stability observed for 24 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_page_tool" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 20 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

How do I install the MCP Mediawiki server?

MCP Mediawiki runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx mcp-mediawiki-crunchtools. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 93 to 97. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 28 days of observed history at the previous scan, 29 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools · 19 exposed · ~1,087 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Common questions

What is the MCP Mediawiki server?

MCP Mediawiki is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.crunchtools/mediawiki. Secure MCP server for MediaWiki wikis, search, pages, categories, and more. This page covers its PyPI package (mcp-mediawiki-crunchtools).

Is the MCP Mediawiki server safe to use?

MCP Mediawiki scores 79 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the MCP Mediawiki server expose?

MCP Mediawiki exposes 19 tools: search_tool, get_page_tool, get_page_html_tool, list_pages_tool, create_page_tool, and 14 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,087 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the MCP Mediawiki server still maintained?

MCP Mediawiki is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
