An MCP server that exposes the Team Fortress Wiki to LLM clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code) over stdio.
Not affiliated with Valve Corporation or the Team Fortress Wiki contributors. Team Fortress 2 is a trademark of Valve Corporation. This is unofficial fan tooling.
What it does
Gives an LLM live, accurate access to TF2 wiki content so it stops guessing at weapon stats, patch notes, and cosmetic details.
- Generic wiki access — search, fetch pages, get summaries, list recent changes.
- TF2 domain tools — structured weapon stats, class loadouts, cosmetic lookup, event item lists, patch notes.

Installation
Requires uv (which manages the Python toolchain for you). Once installed, uvx tf2-wiki-mcp will fetch and run the server on demand — no manual clone needed.
Standard config works in most MCP clients:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tf2-wiki-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["tf2-wiki-mcp"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Add the standard config above to claude_desktop_config.json:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Restart Claude Desktop. The TF2 wiki tools appear in the tool picker.
Claude Code
claude mcp add tf2-wiki-mcp -- uvx tf2-wiki-mcp
Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.tf2-wiki-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["tf2-wiki-mcp"]
See the Codex MCP docs.
Cursor
Or add the standard config to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
Gemini CLI
Add the standard config to your Gemini CLI settings.json per the Gemini CLI MCP guide.
VS Code
Or via the VS Code CLI:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"tf2-wiki-mcp","command":"uvx","args":["tf2-wiki-mcp"],"env":{}}'
See the VS Code MCP guide for details.
VS Code Insiders
Or via the CLI:
code-insiders --add-mcp '{"name":"tf2-wiki-mcp","command":"uvx","args":["tf2-wiki-mcp"],"env":{}}'
Visual Studio
Or manually:
- Open the GitHub Copilot Chat window.
- Click the tools icon (🛠️) → + Add Server.
- Fill in: Server ID
tf2-wiki-mcp, Typestdio, Commanduvx, Argumentstf2-wiki-mcp. - Save.
See the Visual Studio MCP docs.

Development
Run from a local clone instead of PyPI:
git clone https://github.com/yusufaf/tf2-wiki-mcp
cd tf2-wiki-mcp
uv sync --dev
uv run pytest # offline, uses recorded cassettes
uv run pytest --live # also hits the real wiki
To point an MCP client at the local checkout:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tf2-wiki-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/absolute/path/to/tf2-wiki-mcp", "tf2-wiki-mcp"]
}
}
}

Wiki content is © its respective contributors under Valve's Steam Subscriber Agreement (Game Site terms). Users of this tool are responsible for compliance with Valve's terms. Code license ≠ content license: MIT covers this codebase, not the wiki content it fetches.
Requests to the wiki include a descriptive User-Agent (tf2-wiki-mcp/<version> (https://github.com/yusufaf/tf2-wiki-mcp)) per MediaWiki etiquette and respect maxlag/Retry-After responses.
Contributing
Don't check in scraped wiki text. Infobox examples for parser tests are fine (short, fair-use-grade fixtures). Full page dumps are not.
