llmwiki (llm-wiki-compiler) MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and More
Lets Claude or Cursor turn your documents into a cited knowledge wiki and query it.
llmwiki is the MCP side of the llm-wiki-compiler project. It runs on your computer against a wiki folder you choose. Read-only tools work with no key, and compile and query need a model provider key such as Anthropic or OpenAI.
It writes files into your wiki folder. Pass only URLs and file paths you trust to the ingest tool.
Good for
- People who keep research notes and want answers with citations
- Teams that hand evidence packs from one agent to another

Install llmwiki MCP
Claude Code
- 1
Copy this prompt.
Add the llmwiki MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command: claude mcp add llmwiki -- npx -y llm-wiki-compiler serve --root /path/to/wiki-project Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
- 2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.
Requires Node.js, Node.js 24+.
Replace /path/to/wiki-project with your wiki folder. The serve subcommand starts the MCP server. Read-only tools work with no key, and compile, query and search need a provider key in the server's env. The guide shows Claude Desktop and Cursor; the other clients use the same command, adapted by us.
Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.
Tools
Shows the state of your wiki
Reports page and source counts, stale and orphaned pages, pending review candidates and the last compile time. Needs no provider key.
Try: “What is the status of my wiki?”
Read ·
wiki_statusBuilds an evidence pack for a task
Assembles relevant pages, text chunks, graph neighbors and citations within a token budget so the assistant can reason on its own. With includeSources on, it also returns raw source lines.
Try: “Build a context pack on our pricing decisions.”
Read ·
get_context_packFinds and returns relevant pages
Returns the full content of pages that match a question. Needs a model provider key.
Try: “Find the wiki pages about onboarding.”
Network ·
search_pagesReads one wiki page
Returns a page by its slug, looking in concepts first and then saved queries.
Try: “Open the page on retry policy.”
Read ·
read_pageAnswers a question from the wiki
Answers using your compiled pages with citations. With save on, it can request a new query page after a citation check. Needs a model provider key.
Try: “According to the wiki, why did we pick Postgres?”
Write ·
query_wikiAdds a URL or file as a source
Fetches a URL or reads an absolute local file path into the sources folder. Pass only URLs and paths you trust.
Try: “Add https://example.com/spec to the wiki sources.”
Write ·
ingest_sourceBuilds the wiki from your sources
Runs the incremental compile that turns sources into cited pages and reports counts. Needs a model provider key, so page text is sent to that provider.
Try: “Compile the wiki with the new sources.”
Write ·
compile_wikiChecks the wiki for problems
Runs quality checks and returns structured findings.
Try: “Lint the wiki and list the problems.”
Read ·
lint_wikiScores wiki quality
The fast suite reports health score and citation coverage without a key. The full suite uses a model to judge citation samples.
Try: “Run the fast eval on my wiki.”
Write ·
run_evalExports the wiki as an OKF bundle
Writes an Open Knowledge Format bundle under a path inside your project, by default dist/exports/okf.
Try: “Export the wiki as an OKF bundle.”
Write ·
export_okfStages an OKF bundle for review
Reads a bundle from inside your project and stages its pages as review candidates. A person must approve them before they enter the wiki. Supports a dry run.
Try: “Preview importing the bundle in ./incoming.”
Write ·
import_okfRuns a declared workflow action
Runs an action your wiki declares, limited to staged writes. It cannot approve human review gates.
Try: “Run the weekly-review workflow.”
Write ·
run_workflow_actionUsed by the assistant behind the scenes
Checks a pinned artifact reference
Verifies a hash-pinned artifact and returns its metadata without its body.
Try: “Verify this artifact reference.”
Read ·
verify_artifactLists available workflow actions
Shows the workflow actions the wiki declares.
Try: “What workflow actions can you run?”
Read ·
list_workflow_actionsDescribes one workflow action
Shows an action and what input it expects.
Try: “Describe the weekly-review action.”
Read ·
describe_workflow_actionChecks a workflow run
Shows the status of a workflow run.
Try: “Did the last workflow run finish?”
Read ·
workflow_run_status

Permissions
medium risk · 3 things to watch
Medium risk
The assistant can write pages and sources into your wiki folder and fetch URLs you give it. Use a dedicated wiki folder and avoid ingesting untrusted links.
What it can do
- Read your data
- Create and change things
- Delete things
- Read-only mode
Watch out for
It can fetch URLs and read local files
ingest_source takes a URL or an absolute file path. Pass only inputs you control, because the docs call it a trusted-input-only tool. github.com
Compile sends your text to a model provider
compile_wiki, query_wiki and search_pages use your provider key, so source text goes to that provider. Skip them for private material. github.com
Context packs can include raw source text
get_context_pack returns raw source lines only when includeSources is on. Keep it off for agents you do not trust with the sources. github.com

Questions
Is the llmwiki MCP server official?
Yes. It is the llmwiki serve command of the llm-wiki-compiler project, published by the same maintainers (atomicstrata).
Do I need an API key?
Not to start. Status, read, lint and context tools work without one. Compile, query and search need a model provider key like ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY.
Can it delete my files?
It has no delete tool. It does write sources, pages and exports inside your wiki folder.
What does it need installed?
Node.js 24 or newer on the app's PATH, and a wiki folder to point at. The install box has the command.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
On your computer, over stdio. Only model calls and URL fetches leave your machine.
What is the difference between context pack and query?
The context pack hands the assistant evidence to reason over. The query tool asks a model to write the answer from the wiki.
