Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Faceabot Wikipedia: search and read Wikipedia in any language, free, no key. Start with wiki_search {"query":"…","lang":"en"}, then wiki_summary or wiki_article with the exact title. Text is from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0): cite the page url when you reuse it. Cached a few minutes. Also on its own site: https://wikiaibot.com (same tools, plain HTTP API too). Part of Faceabot (https://faceabot.com): any other tool: solve_need at https://faceabot.com/api/mcp.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http faceabot-wikipedia-mcp https://faceabot.com/tools-mcp/wikipedia

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add faceabot-wikipedia-mcp --url https://faceabot.com/tools-mcp/wikipedia

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable faceabot-wikipedia-mcp in your MCP settings.
