### Description (declared)

# wg21-wiki-mcp

A local [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (stdio) server
that gives an LLM agent read access to the **WG21 (ISO C++) committee wiki** at
`wiki.isocpp.org` as a **verifiable source of truth**.

The server authenticates with your credentials, fetches pages over the
MediaWiki API, and returns **exact** wiki text with a clickable URL and revision
id. See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for design detail and
[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for credential handling.

> Access requires WG21 membership. This tool stores nothing confidential in its
> source and never logs page content.

## Install

Install from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/wg21-wiki-mcp/) (recommended):

```bash
pipx install wg21-wiki-mcp
# or: pip install wg21-wiki-mcp==0.3.1
```

Or run without a manual install via [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```bash
uvx --from wg21-wiki-mcp==0.3.1 wg21-wiki-mcp
```

Install from GitHub when you need a specific commit or branch:

```bash
pipx install "git+https://github.com/cppalliance/wg21-wiki-mcp.git@v0.3.1"
# development branch:
uvx --refresh --from git+https://github.com/cppalliance/wg21-wiki-mcp.git@develop wg21-wiki-mcp
```

Or from a local clone (for development):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/cppalliance/wg21-wiki-mcp
cd wg21-wiki-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

Requires Python 3.10+. Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Configure

The wiki base URL is fixed (`https://wiki.isocpp.org`); only credentials are
needed. Pass them in the MCP host's launch `env` block. Full host setup,
troubleshooting, and env-var reference: [docs/RUNBOOK.md](docs/RUNBOOK.md).

Minimal Cursor / `uvx` example:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wg21-wiki": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "wg21-wiki-mcp==0.3.1", "wg21-wiki-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WIKI_BOT_USERNAME": "YourAccount@yourbot",
        "WIKI_BOT_PASSWORD": "the-bot-password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
