Package (mcpb)
Package: mcpb https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/MediaWiki-MCP-Server/releases/download/v0.21.0/MediaWiki-MCP-Server.mcpb
CONFIG— Path to your configuration fileMCP_ALLOW_STATIC_FALLBACK— Set to 'true' to allow HTTP startup when config.json has static credentials. Otherwise the server refuses to start, preventing silent shared-identity fallback for unauthenticated requests.MCP_CONTENT_MAX_BYTES— Byte cap for the content bodies and result blocks tools return (wikitext, rendered HTML, diffs, statement and row listings). An oversized response is truncated with a trailing marker describing what was left out.MCP_FILE_DATA_MAX_BYTES— Hard cap on the base64-encoded size of a get-file-data response. A transport/safety backstop; callers tune actual size with the tool's width parameter. Over-cap responses error rather than truncate.MCP_LOG_LEVEL— Minimum severity for logger output (stderr telemetry and sendLoggingMessage broadcast). Invalid values fail loudly on first log call.MCP_MAX_REQUEST_BODY— Maximum HTTP request body size on the StreamableHTTP transport. Accepts size strings like 1mb or 512kb.MCP_METRICS— Set to 'true' to expose Prometheus metrics at GET /metrics on the HTTP transport. Has no effect on the stdio transport.MCP_OAUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECTS— Additional allowed redirect URIs for hosted-proxy client registration: comma-separated exact URIs (which must include a host) and https prefix patterns ending in /*. Loopback, claude.ai, and verified first-party clients (ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code) are always allowed; unset means no additional clients.MCP_OAUTH_CIMD_ALLOWED_HOSTS— Comma-separated additional client_id document hosts trusted for CIMD (bare host or host:port). Verified first-party hosts are always trusted.MCP_OAUTH_CREDENTIALS_FILE— Override the default OAuth credentials store path. Default: ~/.config/mediawiki-mcp/credentials.json on Linux/macOS, %APPDATA%\mediawiki-mcp\credentials.json on Windows.MCP_OAUTH_NO_BROWSER— Set to '1' to skip launching a browser during the OAuth dance and log the auth URL to stderr instead. Useful in headless environments and CI.MCP_OAUTH_PROXY_STORE_FILE— Path to the hosted OAuth proxy's encrypted state file, which lets sign-ins survive restarts. Default: proxy-store.enc under the mediawiki-mcp config dir; /app/data/proxy-store.enc in the Docker image.MCP_PUBLIC_URL— Override the request-derived public URL used in the protected-resource discovery doc and WWW-Authenticate header. Set this when running behind a proxy that rewrites the request Host.MCP_SHUTDOWN_GRACE_MS— Maximum milliseconds to wait for in-flight /mcp calls to drain on SIGTERM/SIGINT before exiting. Capped at 600000.MCP_TRANSPORT— Type of MCP server transportMCP_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES— Memory cap on the server-side fetch used by upload-file-from-url and update-file-from-url. Files larger than this are routed to the wiki's own copy-upload instead of being buffered by the server. Guards this server's memory, not the wiki's $wgMaxUploadSize.MCP_USER_AGENT— Replaces the User-Agent header of every outbound request, which defaults to mediawiki-mcp-server/<version> (https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/MediaWiki-MCP-Server). If you set it, give a name and an email or URL, e.g. 'ExampleBot/1.0 ([email protected])'.PORT— Port used for StreamableHTTP transport
