Features ✨

  • 🔍 Search wiki pages with customizable wiki site. e.g. wikipedia.org, fandom.com, wiki.gg and more!
  • 📖 Retrieve detailed page content

Usage 💻

  1. Ensure that uv is installed on your device.
  2. Configure in your client:

The server defaults to using https://en.wikipedia.org/. Also, you can make the server search other wiki sites!

To see if a wiki site works with this server, check if it uses MediaWiki software (usually shown by an icon at the bottom of the site).

To check further and find the endpoint (usually the website's domain, like https://mediawiki.org/), check by going to base-url/rest.php/v1/page in a browser (like https://noita.wiki.gg/rest.php/v1/page) and see if the output looks right. If not, add '/w' to the base URL and try again.

Then, set this endpoint as --base-url.
