xwiki-mcp

MCP server for XWiki REST API. Lets AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) search, read and write your wiki — with proper Solr full-text search, not the half-broken legacy endpoint most clients default to.

Why this one

Most XWiki MCP servers (including ones generated by AI coding tools) wire up /rest/wikis/{wiki}/search. That endpoint is HQL-based and effectively searches page names only — so a query like "visibility metric" returns nothing if no page is literally named that, even when dozens of pages discuss the topic. xwiki-mcp defaults to /rest/wikis/query?type=solr, which is Solr-backed and indexes actual content with proper relevance ranking.

Tools

Read

Tool	Description
`search`	Full-text search (Solr by default, legacy fallback). Returns ranked results.
`list_spaces`	List all spaces in the wiki
`list_pages`	List pages in a space (paginated)
`get_page`	Get page content and metadata
`get_page_children`	List child pages
`get_attachments`	List attachments on a page

Write (v0.2+)

Tool	Description
`create_page`	Create or update a page (upsert via PUT). XML-safe escaping.
`delete_page`	Delete a page
`add_comment`	Add a comment to a page

Search syntax

Solr engine (default) supports:

bare terms — full-text match across title (boosted) + content
"exact phrase" — phrase match
title:foo / name:bar — restrict to a field
AND, OR, NOT — boolean operators
per-call space:"Parent.Child" parameter narrows results to one space tree

If Solr isn't indexed on your instance, pass engine: "legacy" to fall back to the HQL endpoint.
