Returns ranked results with plain-text titles, short descriptions, Wikidata QIDs, snippets (HTML stripped), page IDs, and word counts — the description is usually enough to tell same-named articles apart without a summary call per result.

The extract is a truncated fragment from the start of the lead section — usually a sentence or two, and as little as a tenth of the lead — alongside the Wikidata QID (wikibase_item) for cross-referencing with wikidata-mcp-server, a short des
  • wikipedia_get_article Fetch article content as clean plain text.

Returns articles sorted by distance from the query point, with titles, short descriptions, Wikidata QIDs, page IDs, coordinates, and distance in meters. Useful for "what is notable near X?" research workflows. Only articles carrying
  • wikipedia_get_languages List the language editions available for a Wikipedia article. Returns language codes, article titles in each language, and full URLs. Useful for cross-language research and for discovering the correct article title in a target language before fetching it. A popular article exists in hundreds of edit
