py-3rdparty-mediawiki (Wikipush Toolkit)
Python wrapper for mwclient with improvements for 3rd party wikis. Also known as the Wikipush Toolkit — a set of tools for automating MediaWiki page content handling using Python and a command line, presented at SMWCon Fall 2020. Works with any MediaWiki wiki: SMW wikis are queried natively; non-SMW wikis are supported by faking SMW-style queries for categories, enabling page pushing from wikis without Semantic MediaWiki installed.
Installation
pip install py-3rdparty-mediawiki
For MCP server support (for AI assistants):
pip install py-3rdparty-mediawiki[mcp]
