  • Configurable API base URLs for different MediaWiki and WikiBase instances.

Requirements

  • Node.js (v16 or later)
  • TypeScript (for development)
  • MediaWiki instance with API access enabled

       git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mediawikiadapter.git
       cd mediawikiadapter
       ```

    ## Usage
    
    ### Configure the Adapter
    
    You can configure the adapter to use custom MediaWiki and WikiBase API endpoints:
    
    ```javascript
    server.configure({
      mediaWikiAPIBase: "https://my.mediawiki.instance/api.php",
      wikiBaseAPIBase: "https://my.wikibase.instance/api.php",
    });

Start the MCP Server

Run the MCP server using the following command:

node build/index.js
