From the repository
The fastest path — point any MCP-aware client at the hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:
npx -y mcp-remote https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
Get a key at https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (see Getting an API key).
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}
Then restart Cursor and the tools appear in the MCP panel.
Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Tools appear under the slash-command MCP menu.
1. Visit https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (or tier=team / tier=pro).
2. Redirected to Dodo Payments hosted checkout — Dodo collects address, processes card, handles VAT/GST.
3. After payment, Dodo fires a signed webhook (subscription.active) to the Worker. The Worker mints mck_<32 random base64url> and stores it in KV.
4. You land on https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/welcome?key=<api_key> — copy the key now (it is only displayed once at this URL).
5. Paste the key into Cursor / Claude Desktop config (see above).
6. View / rotate / export the account at https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/account (Bearer-auth).
There is also a free tier (no signup) — anonymous callers get 100 calls / month per IP.
A thin launcher is published as @insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp on npm. No manual URL to copy/paste:
npx -y @insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp
Or wire it into your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"wikipedia-recent-changes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@insnapsprakhar/wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp"]
}
}
}
The npm package is just a launcher — it shells out to mcp-remote and points it at the hosted endpoint (https://wikipedia-recent-changes-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp).
