This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WB_USER_AGENT (Identify your own client. This project's identifier stays appended, so Wikimedia can always reach a human.), WB_MIN_INTERVAL_MS (Minimum milliseconds between requests. Default 1000, floor 500, ceiling 60000.), WB_TIMEOUT_MS (Deadline for one request, in milliseconds. Default 20000.), WB_MAX_RETRIES (Retries on a busy or rate-limited gateway. Default 3.), WB_CACHE_TTL_MS (In-memory cache lifetime, in milliseconds. Default 900000. Set 0 to turn it off.), WB_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES (In-memory cache size. Default 200.), WB_LOG_LEVEL (silent, error, info or debug. Default error. Logs go to stderr.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Wikibooks Cookbook — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Wikibooks Cookbook?
MCP Wikibooks Cookbook runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-wikibooks-cookbook was installed 144 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Wikibooks Cookbook?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-wikibooks-cookbook straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Wikibooks Cookbook?
The npm package mcp-wikibooks-cookbook was installed 144 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Wikibooks Cookbook open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
