Wikimedia Commons file/image/audio/video search via MediaWiki Action API

Server endpointStreamable HTTP

This is the third-party server itself — Odel doesn't run it. Hitting this URL directly talks straight to the upstream server with no auth or proxying. Connect through Odel to front it with managed auth.

mcp-commons-wikimedia

Wikimedia Commons MCP — Action API for files.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
searchFull-text search across Commons.
file_infoFile metadata (size, mime, license, upload date, thumbnail urls).
file_revisionsFile revision history.
category_membersItems in a Commons category.
random_imageRandom image (optionally from a category).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "commons-wikimedia": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/commons-wikimedia/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Commons Wikimedia data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
