## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_entities` (~126 tokens)

Search Wikidata entities by label or alias (e.g., "Albert Einstein", "Python programming language", "Tokyo"). Returns entity IDs, labels, descriptions, and aliases. Useful for finding the Wikidata ID of any concept.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): Language code for labels (default "en"). E.g., "fr", "de", "ja"
- `limit` (number): Max results to return (1-50, default 10)
- `query` (string, required): Search query (e.g., "Marie Curie", "Bitcoin", "Great Wall of China")

### `get_entity` (~320 tokens)

Get full Wikidata entity by ID (e.g., "Q42" for Douglas Adams, "Q5" for human, "Q1764" for Budapest). Returns labels, descriptions, aliases, claims/statements (properties and values), sitelinks, and the revision the data came from — lastrevid plus the modified timestamp — so live statements can be pinned to a specific edit. Pass "language" (comma/pipe-joined for several) to get labels/descriptions in languages other than English, side by side. For checking several ids at once, use get_entities instead of looping this.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Wikidata entity ID (e.g., "Q42", "Q937", "P31")
- `language` (string): Language code(s) for labels/descriptions/aliases — a single code (e.g. "ka") or a comma/pipe-joined list to compare several at once (e.g. "ka,ru,en"), which returns every requested language's label s…

### `get_entities` (~358 tokens)

Batch version of get_entity — resolve up to 50 Wikidata Q-ids in ONE call instead of looping single get_entity calls. Same fields as get_entity per entity (labels, descriptions, aliases, claims, sitelinks, revision info), keyed by Q-id. Any id that does not resolve (bad format, deleted, or genuinely unknown) is reported in "not_found" rather than failing the whole batch — the other ids still resolve. Pass "language" (comma/pipe-joined for several) the same as get_entity to get multilingual labels for every entity in the batch.

Input parameters:

- `ids` (required): Wikidata Q-ids to resolve, up to 50 — either an array of strings (e.g. ["Q162887","Q1326165","Q3493773"]) or a single comma/pipe-joined string (e.g. "Q162887,Q1326165,Q3493773").
- `language` (string): Language code(s) for labels/descriptions/aliases — a single code (e.g. "ka") or a comma/pipe-joined list to compare several at once (e.g. "ka,ru,en"), which returns every requested language's label s…

### `get_wikidata_facts` (~355 tokens)

Structured facts about a Wikidata entity in HUMAN-READABLE form — property names and values resolved to labels, not raw P/Q codes. PREFER OVER get_entity for "what is X's <attribute>", "facts about X", "X's date of birth / capital / population". E.g. Q42 (Douglas Adams) -> {"date of birth":["1952-03-11..."],"occupation":["writer",...],"place of birth":["Cambridge"]}. Also returns lastrevid and modified, the revision these statements were read at, for questions asking about an item's state after its latest edit. Pass "language" (comma/pipe-joined for several) for facts and labels in languages other than English. Pass a Q-id from search_entities.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Wikidata entity Q-id (e.g. "Q42"). Find it with search_entities.
- `language` (string): Language code(s) for labels/descriptions/aliases — a single code (e.g. "ka") or a comma/pipe-joined list to compare several at once (e.g. "ka,ru,en"), which returns every requested language's label s…

### `wikidata_recent_changes` (~288 tokens)

Newest items created or edited on Wikidata right now, from the live MediaWiki recent-changes feed. Answers "which Wikidata item was created most recently", "what QIDs were created today", "what changed on Wikidata in the last hour", "recent edits to Wikidata items". Returns each change newest-first with its Q-id, revision id, previous revision id, UTC timestamp, editing user, edit comment and byte size, plus a cursor for paging further back.

Input parameters:

- `cursor` (string): Continue token from a previous call's "cursor" field, to page further back in time.
- `limit` (number): Max changes to return (1-50, default 10).
- `namespace` (number): Wikidata namespace: 0 = items/Q-ids (default), 120 = properties/P-ids, 146 = lexemes.
- `since` (string): Stop at this UTC timestamp, ISO 8601 (e.g. "2026-08-22T00:00:00Z"). Listing runs newest-first back to this point.
- `type` (string): Which changes to list: "new" for freshly created items (default), "edit" for edits to existing items, "all" for both.
- `user` (string): Only changes made by this Wikidata username (e.g. "Dsp13").

## Common questions

### What is the Wikidata MCP server?

Wikidata is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/wikidata. Wikidata MCP, wraps Wikidata API (wikidata.org/w/api.php). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-wikidata).

### Is the Wikidata MCP server safe to use?

Wikidata scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Wikidata MCP server expose?

Wikidata exposes 5 tools: search_entities, get_entity, get_entities, get_wikidata_facts, wikidata_recent_changes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,447 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Wikidata MCP server still maintained?

Wikidata is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Wikidata MCP server under?

Wikidata declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Wikidata MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Wikidata, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
