wikidata_search_entities
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server
declared in 0.1.14
Search Wikidata for items or properties by text query. Returns QIDs or PIDs with labels, descriptions, and match metadata indicating whether the hit was on a label or alias. Use type="item" for real-world concepts (people, places, works) and type="property" to find predicate P-IDs. The API returns no total count — pagination is offset-based with no result ceiling indicator.
