Summary
The thumbnail composite is what makes a single tool enough — the image gets chosen by looking rather than by reading filenames.
include_thumbnails returns one composite image across the results, so candidates can be compared in a glance instead of fetched one at a time. The licence filter carries just as much weight for anything heading to publication, because it narrows the set before a choice is made rather than after. What comes back are download URLs, which keeps fetching the full image a separate and deliberate step.
What it is
A single-tool Wikimedia Commons image search that returns metadata and download URLs, with an optional composite thumbnail image for visual comparison.
What you get
- wikimedia_search_images searches Commons and returns image metadata including download URLs, with a licence filter, a limit and offset for paging, and include_thumbnails for a composite thumbnail image that puts the results side by side.
Requirements
Nothing — no account, no key.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y wikimedia-image-search-mcp
