Wikipedia summary
An MCP tool from the Public Knowledge server, hosted on mcp.hjlabs.in.
Read the summary (lead section) of a Wikipedia article by title: description, extract, thumbnail, coordinates and canonical URL. Follows redirects, so "NYC" works. Use `full=true` to get the whole article as plain text instead.
Name on the gateway: knowledge__wikipedia_summary · read-only.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
title required | string | Article title, e.g. "Alan Turing". |
lang | string | Language edition. Default "en". |
full | boolean | Return the full article text (plain, up to 60 KB) instead of the summary. |
