Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • wikipedia_search unknown never probed

    Search Wikipedia articles by full-text query. Returns ranked results with plain-text titles, snippets (HTML stripped), page IDs, and word counts. Best when the exact article title is unknown or when multiple articles on a topic are needed. Pass a result title to wikipedia_get_summary, wikipedia_get_article, or wikipedia_get_sections for follow-up reads. Use offset to page beyond the first result page. Supports all Wikipedia language editions.

  • wikipedia_get_summary unknown never probed

    Fetch the lead-section summary for a Wikipedia article — the 2–4 paragraph intro that answers "what is X?". Returns plain-text extract, Wikidata QID (wikibase_item) for cross-referencing with wikidata-mcp-server, short description, and thumbnail URL. Redirect pages are followed automatically. When page_type is "disambiguation", the title matched a disambiguation page — call wikipedia_search with a more specific query to find the intended article. Prefer this over wikipedia_get_article unless full article depth is needed.

  • wikipedia_get_article unknown never probed

    Fetch article content as clean plain text. Without section_index: returns the full article with == Section == markers preserved for structure — or, when the article exceeds the size budget, a compact section outline (truncated: true) that points to wikipedia_get_sections plus a section_index read instead of the full text. With section_index (from wikipedia_get_sections): returns that section and every subsection nested under it, each heading above its own body. Section-targeted reads are faster and smaller when only part of the article is needed. Data tables are omitted from both paths, so a section whose body is entirely a data table returns its heading and little else; tables used only for layout, such as multi-column lists, keep their content. Page furniture is omitted as well — maintenance banners, sister-project and library-resource boxes, portal bars, and spoken-article notices — while a hatnote naming a related article is kept. Redirect pages are followed automatically.

  • wikipedia_get_sections unknown never probed

    Fetch the table of contents for a Wikipedia article. Returns section titles, heading levels, section numbering (e.g. "2.1"), and section_index values. Pass a section_index to wikipedia_get_article to retrieve just that section. Useful for enumerating article structure before doing a targeted section read. Redirect pages are followed automatically.

  • wikipedia_search_nearby unknown never probed

    Find Wikipedia articles about places near a geographic coordinate. Returns articles sorted by distance from the query point, with titles, page IDs, coordinates, and distance in meters. Useful for "what is notable near X?" research workflows. Only articles with geographic coordinates in their Wikidata record are returned — not all articles about locations are geotagged.

  • wikipedia_get_languages unknown never probed

    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. Redirect pages are followed automatically, and source_title reports the resolved article the links belong to. The language parameter specifies which edition to query from.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
