How to install Wikexa Knowledge in Claude CodeAnthropic's agentic CLI
Add the server
bashclaude mcp add --transport http knowledge https://wikexa.com/mcpVerify it's connected
bashclaude mcp listSharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. lookup, article, define). It discovers them automatically.
How to install Wikexa Knowledge in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)
Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add this server
json{ "mcpServers": { "knowledge": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://wikexa.com/mcp" ] } } }Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.
How to install Wikexa Knowledge in CursorAI-first code editor
Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project
json{ "mcpServers": { "knowledge": { "url": "https://wikexa.com/mcp" } } }Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.
How to install Wikexa Knowledge in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml
toml[mcp_servers.knowledge] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://wikexa.com/mcp"]Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.
How to install Wikexa Knowledge in WindsurfCodeium's agentic IDE
Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
json{ "mcpServers": { "knowledge": { "serverUrl": "https://wikexa.com/mcp" } } }Reload
Windsurf → Cascade → refresh MCP servers. Cascade can now call the tools.
How to install Wikexa Knowledge in ClineVS Code autonomous agent
Open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure
Adds to cline_mcp_settings.json.
Add the server

How to install Wikexa Knowledge in VS CodeCopilot / MCP support
Create .vscode/mcp.json
json{ "servers": { "knowledge": { "type": "http", "url": "https://wikexa.com/mcp" } } }Start it
VS Code shows a ▶ Start action above the server entry. Agent mode (Copilot Chat) can then use the tools.
What tools does Wikexa Knowledge expose? (6)
Read from the live server. Click any tool for its input schema.
- lookupFacts about any named thing — person, company, place, species, event, concept. Returns structured fields (dates, identifiers, relationships) plus a ~200-token summary, drawn from 10.2M entity records. Prefer this over fetching an encyclopedia page: the HTML costs ~15,000 tokens to recover ~500 tokens of fact. Resolves aliases and Wikidata Q-ids, so "Apple", "Apple Inc" and "Q312" all reach the sam
- articleThe full text of an article, for when lookup()'s summary is not enough — sections as a JSON array, infobox as key/value facts, no HTML or wikitext to parse. Pass `sections` to pull only the parts you need (e.g. ["Early life"]) and `max_chars` to cap the payload; both exist because a long article will otherwise flood your context.
- defineWhat a word means, in thousands of languages — 8.15M dictionary entries with senses, part of speech, etymology and pronunciation. Covers what a general model is weakest at: historical languages (Old English, Gothic, Ancient Greek, Middle French) and hundreds of regional and indigenous ones. A single spelling often has entries in many languages and you get all of them — `hund` returns Danish, Gothi
- searchFind the right title when you only have a partial name or a rough description. Returns ranked {title, wikidata_id, description, summary_snippet}; ranking blends text relevance with monthly pageviews and follows redirects, so abbreviations land on the real article — "usa" returns United States, "jfk" returns John F. Kennedy, "apple" returns Apple Inc. rather than a disambiguation page. Searches eve
- recentWhat changed in the last hours or days — the escape hatch for facts newer than your training cutoff. Reach for this whenever the answer could have moved since you were trained: elections, appointments, acquisitions, releases, deaths, records. Returns titles with timestamps and edit comments; resolve any of them with lookup(). Pass `topic` to filter and `hours` to widen the window up to a week.
- papersAcademic paper metadata from 57M+ works — title, abstract, authors, citations, DOI and open access URL. Covers every field: CS, medicine, physics, economics, biology, and more. Search by keywords (e.g. "transformer attention"), by topic name (e.g. "machine learning"), or by OpenAlex topic ID. Returns papers sorted by citation count. Source: OpenAlex (CC0 metadata). Use this when the user needs sch
What the code can do
This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.
