Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Wikidata MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @zzaebok/mcp-wikidata --client claude

Installing Manually

Install uv if it is not installed yet.

$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Then, install dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/zzaebok/mcp-wikidata.git
$ cd mcp-wikidata
$ uv sync
# if you want to run client example together
$ uv sync --extra example

---

Run

Run the server with:

$ uv run src/server.py

If you want to test it with a simple client code (with langchain-mcp-adapters), run the client with:

# in another shell
$ uv run src/client.py

The LLM extracts valid entity and property identifiers, executes a sparql query, and finally recommend a movie directed by Bong Joon-ho.
