Agent Wikis MCP server

agentwikis-mcp

MCP server for Agent Wikis — maintained, agent-readable knowledge bases compiled from messy, fast-moving sources. Read-only; no API key or account needed for the free tier, and an optional Pro key adds the XL tier.

Four tools shaped for an agent's loop:

The scope declarations and the confident flag exist so your agent knows when not to trust the wiki — measured ~94% correct abstention. Details and the full eval: agentwikis.com/why-wikis.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add agentwikis -- npx -y agentwikis-mcp

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.agentwikis]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "agentwikis-mcp"]

Any MCP client (JSON config)

{ "mcpServers": { "agentwikis": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "agentwikis-mcp"] } } }

Pro (XL) access

Wikis ship in two tiers: the free wiki/ pages, and an XL tier of deeper per-item reference pages included with Agent Wikis Pro.

Set AGENTWIKISAPIKEY to your Pro key and all three read tools widen to cover it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentwikis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentwikis-mcp"],
      "env": { "AGENTWIKIS_API_KEY": "aw_..." }
    }
  }
}

Hermes Agent: keep the key in your profile's .env and map it in config.yaml. Hermes passes a stdio server only its configured env, never the .env itself. If the variable is unset, the server falls back to the free tier.

mcp_servers:
  agentwikis:
    command: npx
    args: ["-y", "agentwikis-mcp"]
    env:
      AGENTWIKIS_API_KEY: "${AGENTWIKIS_API_KEY}"

Without a key, a confident: true search result means "the best free page covers your terms" — the xl field on the response tells you how much you didn't see.

Routing tip. XL pages are per-item depth, not broader coverage. When a question names a specific plugin, hook, CLI surface, runtime, API, or deployment procedure, prefer the gated: true page over the general concept page.

Self-hosted instances

Point the bridge at your own Agent Wikis deployment (e.g. a private-wiki install):

AGENTWIKIS_URL=https://wikis.internal.example npx -y agentwikis-mcp

What's inside

The bridge talks to agentwikis.com/api/* and returns the same payloads as the self-hosted stdio server — same document formatting, same provenance footers, same search calibration. Requires Node 18+.

Agent Wikis also serves everything as plain Markdown + llms.txt if you'd rather skip MCP entirely: see agentwikis.com/for-agents.
