Wikidata knowledge graph via @cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server — entity search, SPARQL, statements, sitelinks, external ID resolution

intentquery the Wikidata knowledge graph: search entities by text, fetch entity details with field/language filtering, batch-resolve QIDs to labels, retrieve structured statements with qualifiers, get Wikipedia sitelinks, execute arbitrary SPARQL queries, and resolve external identifieconstraints

@cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server v0.10.9 — verified recipe

Install: npm install @cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Entry: node node_modules/@cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server/dist/index.js Transport: stdio | Auth: none (Wikidata public API) | Node: >=22 works (warns >=24)

7 tools discovered

ToolPurpose
wikidata_search_entitiesText search for items or properties, returns QIDs/PIDs with descriptions
wikidata_get_entityFetch full entity by QID/PID, with field and language filtering
wikidata_get_labelsBatch-resolve multiple QIDs/PIDs to human-readable labels + descriptions
wikidata_get_statementsFetch property claims with qualifiers and label resolution
wikidata_get_sitelinksGet Wikipedia/Wikimedia article URLs for an entity
wikidata_sparql_queryExecute arbitrary SPARQL queries against Wikidata Query Service
wikidata_resolve_external_idLook up entities by external ID (DOI, ORCID, ISBN, etc.)

Verified calls (21 successful data returns across 26 total calls, 0 crashes)

Search: "Istanbul" → Q406 (largest city in Turkey) | "Claude AI" → Q118876059 (LLM family by Anthropic) | property search "instance of" → P31 | nonexistent query → graceful empty result.

Entity: Q406 (Istanbul) full → 269 labels, 232 sitelinks | Q406 filtered fields:["labels","descriptions"], languages:["en","tr"] → en: Istanbul, tr: İstanbul | Q5 (human) → 312 labels | P31 (instance of) property → data type wikibase-item.

Labels batch: ids:["Q406","Q5","Q64","P31"] → Istanbul, human, Berlin, instance of — all resolved with descriptions in one call.

Statements: Q406 properties:["P17","P625","P1082"] with resolve_labels:true → country: Turkey (Q43) since 1923-10-29, prior: Ottoman Empire since 1453, Byzantine Empire since 1260; population claims; coordinates | Q5 properties:["P279"] → subclass of: person, omnivore, natural person, Homo sapiens.

Sitelinks: Q406 wikis_only → 232 Wikipedia editions | Q406 sites:["enwiki","trwiki","dewiki"] → 3 filtered links with URLs.

SPARQL: Turkey cities by population → Ankara 5.8M, Bursa 2.9M, Antalya 2.4M, Konya 2.2M | Count female scientists (Q3320743) → 1,555 | AI companies → Xinity AI, Therml, etc. | COUNT all humans → expected 30s timeout with graceful error and recovery hint.

External ID resolution: P356 (DOI) and P496 (ORCID) tested — returns "no match" for entries not in Wikidata (correct behavior, not all external IDs are indexed).

Gotchas

  • Array params required: fields, ids, properties, sites, languages must be JSON arrays, NOT comma-separated strings. Passing strings returns a clear validation error (not a crash).
  • env: { LOG_LEVEL: "error" } keeps stderr clean
  • SPARQL has 30s timeout — heavy aggregations (COUNT all humans) will timeout. Add LIMIT or narrow WHERE clauses.
  • Node >=24 engine field is advisory; works fine on Node 22
  • resolve_external_id depends on Wikidata indexing — many valid DOIs/ORCIDs won't resolve if the corresponding paper/person has no Wikidata entry
  • resolve_labels: true on statements adds ~200ms but makes output human-readable
