What is mcp-wikidata

Wikidata MCP Server

A server implementation for Wikidata API using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This project provides tools to interact with Wikidata, such as searching identifiers (entity and property), extracting metadata (label and description) and executing sparql query.


Installation

Install uv if it is not installed yet.

$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Then, install dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/zzaebok/mcp-wikidata.git
$ cd mcp-wikidata
$ uv sync
# if you want to run client example together
$ uv sync --extra example

Run

Run the server with:

$ uv run src/server.py

If you want to test it with a simple client code (with langchain-mcp-adapters), run the client with:

# in another shell
$ uv run src/client.py

The LLM extracts valid entity and property identifiers, executes a sparql query, and finally recommend a movie directed by Bong Joon-ho.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
