Zed wikidata mcp server wikidata_get_entity

How to: Zed wikidata mcp server wikidata_get_entity

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:wikidata_get_entity

Add wikidata mcp server to Zed

  1. 01

    Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "wikidata-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://wikidata.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something wikidata_get_entity does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls wikidata_get_entity itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that wikidata mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Set these first

wikidata mcp server will not start until these are set, so wikidata_get_entity never becomes available.

  • WIKIDATA_USER_AGENT
  • WIKIDATA_SPARQL_TIMEOUT_MS
  • WIKIDATA_REST_TIMEOUT_MS
  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
