Wikijs Http

Native HTTP/SSE MCP server for Wiki.js. A clean, production-oriented replacement for supergateway-based setups.

This fork exists because the original transport layer was janky. We replaced it with Wiki.js's built-in --http / SSE support so you get a proper, stable, long-lived MCP server you can actually run behind a reverse proxy.

Features

• 29 tools (19 read + 10 write) covering pages, comments, tags, assets, users, navigation, and system info
• Full-text search, page tree browsing, link graphs, and version history
• Complete comment system (list, read, create, update, delete)
• Asset and folder management
• Tag management
• System diagnostics and site config
• Optional mutations with multiple safety layers (WIKI_MUTATIONS_ENABLED, dry-run mode, confirm tokens, path prefix restrictions)
• Built-in resources: wikijs://markdown-guide, wikijs://mermaid-guide, wikijs://api-permissions-guide
• Typed errors with LLM-friendly messages
• GraphQL client with timeout + exponential backoff
• Sensitive field filtering and input hardening

Quick Start (HTTP/SSE Mode)

cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run build

Edit .env:

WIKI_BASE_URL=https://your-server
WIKI_API_TOKEN=your_wikijs_jwt_token
MCP_TRANSPORT=http
MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0
MCP_PORT=3200
WIKI_MUTATIONS_ENABLED=false          # set true only when you need writes
WIKI_MUTATION_DRY_RUN=true

Run it:

npm start

Connect your MCP client to:

https://your-server:3200/sse

Recommended Production Setup (systemd + Caddy)

See the full systemd service and Caddyfile examples in the repo (or the one running at 666temple.love right now).

Basic pattern:

• Run as a dedicated user
• Bind to localhost only
• Put Caddy (or nginx) in front with HTTPS + subdomain (e.g. mcp.website.com)
• Use a strong WIKI_MUTATION_CONFIRM_TOKEN if you enable writes

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
WIKI_BASE_URL	Yes	-	Your Wiki.js URL (e.g. https://website.com)
WIKI_API_TOKEN	Yes	-	Wiki.js JWT API token
MCP_TRANSPORT	No	stdio	Use http for network mode
MCP_HOST / MCP_PORT	No	0.0.0.0:3200	Bind address for HTTP mode
WIKI_MUTATIONS_ENABLED	No	false	Enable write tools
WIKI_MUTATION_DRY_RUN	No	true	Preview mutations without writing
WIKI_MUTATION_CONFIRM_TOKEN	No	(empty)	Extra safety gate — write tools must supply matching confirm value
WIKI_ALLOWED_MUTATION_PATH_PREFIXES	No	(empty)	Comma-separated path prefixes allowed for mutations

Full reference is in .env.example.

Wiki.js Setup

1. Go to Administration → API in Wiki.js and enable API access
2. Create an API key (JWT) with appropriate permissions
3. Paste it into WIKI_API_TOKEN

For heavy read usage you usually only need read:pages + read:source + read:comments.

Mutation Safety

Write tools are disabled by default. When enabled they still have multiple guardrails:

• WIKI_MUTATION_DRY_RUN=true (default) → tools only preview
• WIKI_MUTATION_CONFIRM_TOKEN → forces you to pass a matching confirm argument on every write
• WIKI_ALLOWED_MUTATION_PATH_PREFIXES → scope writes to specific path prefixes
• All mutation attempts are logged to stderr with structured audit info

MCP Client Config

HTTP/SSE (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wikijs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/wikijs-mcp-http/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "WIKI_BASE_URL": "https://website.com",
        "WIKI_API_TOKEN": "your_token",
        "MCP_TRANSPORT": "http",
        "MCP_PORT": "3200"
      }
    }
  }
}

Stdio (local only)

Still supported if you prefer the classic style.

Development

npm run dev          # HTTP dev server with hot reload
npm run dev:stdio    # stdio dev mode
npm run build
