Installation
Quick Start with uv
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/L3-N0X/Minecraft-Wiki-MCP.git
cd Minecraft-Wiki-MCP
# Install dependencies
uv sync
# Run the server
uv run minecraft-wiki-mcpWith pip
pip install -e .
minecraft-wiki-mcpConfiguration
Claude Desktop
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
{
"mcpServers": {
"minecraft-wiki": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory", "/path/to/Minecraft-Wiki-MCP",
"run", "minecraft-wiki-mcp"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
claude mcp add minecraft-wiki -- uv --directory /path/to/Minecraft-Wiki-MCP run minecraft-wiki-mcpMulti-Language Support
By default, the server connects to the English wiki (`https://minecraft.wiki/api.php`).
Set the `MINECRAFT_WIKI_API_URL` environment variable to use a different language:
{
"mcpServers": {
"minecraft-wiki": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory", "/path/to/Minecraft-Wiki-MCP",
"run", "minecraft-wiki-mcp"
],
"env": {
"MINECRAFT_WIKI_API_URL": "https://de.minecraft.wiki/api.php"
}
}
}
}Streamable HTTP Transport
By default, the server uses stdio transport (communication via stdin/stdout).
For remote or multi-client access, you can use Streamable HTTP transport:
# Start the HTTP server (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp)
uv run minecraft-wiki-mcp --transport streamable-httpThen connect clients to the HTTP endpoint. For example, to connect to the public hosted instance using Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http minecraft-wiki https://minecraft-wiki-mcp.goett.top/mcpOr for a local server:
claude mcp add --transport http minecraft-wiki http://localhost:8000/mcpConnecting Major Platforms to the Public Instance
The public hosted URL `https://minecraft-wiki-mcp.goett.top/mcp` can be easily added across major platforms that support remote MCP connections or custom apps:
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http minecraft-wiki https://minecraft-wiki-mcp.goett.top/mcp- Claude (Web & Desktop) & Perplexity:
1. Open your settings/customization page (e.g., Customize -> Connectors in Claude).
2. Select the option to add a remote server using the HTTP/SSE transport.
3. Enter `https://minecraft-wiki-mcp.goett.top/mcp` as the server URL.
- ChatGPT Website (Custom Apps):
ChatGPT supports connecting custom MCP servers natively (even on the free tier) when developer mode is enabled:
1. Open ChatGPT Settings -> Apps -> Advanced Settings and enable Developer Mode.
2. Go back and create a new app.
3. Enter `https://minecraft-wiki-mcp.goett.top/mcp` as the MCP server URL to connect.
Configuration
Configure host, port, and security via environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Host to bind the HTTP server to |
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_PORT` | `8000` | Port for the HTTP server |
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_API_URL` | `https://minecraft.wiki/api.php` | MediaWiki API endpoint |
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_ENABLE_SECURITY` | *Auto* | Enforce DNS rebinding protection (Host/Origin header check). Defaults to `true` if hosting on localhost/loopback, and `false` otherwise (e.g. when binding to `0.0.0.0` on a VPS). |
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_ALLOWED_HOSTS` | *Auto* | Comma-separated list of allowed `Host` headers. (e.g. `mcp.example.com:*,123.45.67.89:*`). Only active if security is enabled. |
| `MINECRAFT_WIKI_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | *Auto* | Comma-separated list of allowed `Origin` headers. (e.g. `https://mcp.example.com:*`). Only active if security is enabled. |
Available Tools
Search & Navigation
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `minecraft_wiki_search` | Search for pages by name (items, blocks, entities, structures) |
| `minecraft_wiki_get_page` | Get page summary + section list, or full page content |
| `minecraft_wiki_get_section` | Read a specific section's raw wikitext |
| `minecraft_wiki_resolve_redirect` | Check if a title redirects and find the target |
Categories
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `minecraft_wiki_get_categories` | Get categories for a page, or browse categories by prefix |
| `minecraft_wiki_get_category_members` | List all pages in a category |
Recommended Workflow
For best results, LLMs should follow this pattern:
1. Search — `minecraft_wiki_search` to find the right page
2. Summarize — `minecraft_wiki_get_page` to see the intro and available sections
3. Deep dive — `minecraft_wiki_get_section` to read specific sections
Development
# Install dependencies
uv sync
# Run with the MCP Inspector for interactive testing
uv run mcp dev src/minecraft_wiki_mcp/server.py
# Syntax check
uv run python -m py_compile src/minecraft_wiki_mcp/server.pyAcknowledgements
A special thank you to stone-brick for developing the fantastic minecraft-wiki-MDifier library! This library converts complex Minecraft wikitext into clean, easy-to-read Markdown, which not only improves the parsing results of the MCP server but also significantly saves token usage for LLMs. Thank you for the help and for building this great library!
Migrating from v1
v2 is a complete rewrite from TypeScript to Python. Key changes:
| v1 Tool | v2 Tool | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `MinecraftWiki_searchWiki` | `minecraft_wiki_search` | Renamed |
| `MinecraftWiki_getPageSummary` | `minecraft_wiki_get_page` | Now includes section list |
| `MinecraftWiki_getPageContent` | `minecraft_wiki_get_page` | Use `include_all_content=true` |
| `MinecraftWiki_getSectionsInPage` | `minecraft_wiki_get_page` | Section list included in response |
| `MinecraftWiki_getPageSection` | `minecraft_wiki_get_section` | Returns wikitext instead of stripped HTML |
| `MinecraftWiki_getCategoriesForPage` | `minecraft_wiki_get_categories` | Pass `title` parameter |
| `MinecraftWiki_listAllCategories` | `minecraft_wiki_get_categories` | Pass `prefix` parameter |
| `MinecraftWiki_listCategoryMembers` | `minecraft_wiki_get_category_members` | Renamed |
| `MinecraftWiki_resolveRedirect` | `minecraft_wiki_resolve_redirect` | Renamed |
Other breaking changes:
- Configuration via `MINECRAFT_WIKI_API_URL` env var instead of `--api-url` CLI flag
- Runtime: Python 3.12+ with `uv` instead of Node.js
- Content is raw wikitext instead of HTML-stripped text
