TF2 Wiki

tf2-wiki-mcp

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.

Tools

Plus: resource tf2wiki://main, prompts analyze_loadout and compare_weapons.

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:

1. Open the GitHub Copilot Chat window.
2. Click the tools icon (🛠️) → + Add Server.
3. Fill in: Server ID tf2-wiki-mcp, Type stdio, Command uvx, Arguments tf2-wiki-mcp.
4. Save.

See the Visual Studio MCP docs.

GitHub Copilot Coding Agent

{

"mcpServers": { "tf2-wiki-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["tf2-wiki-mcp"], "env": {}, "type": "local", "tools": ["*"] } } }

Add this in repository settings under Copilot → Coding agent. See the Copilot Coding Agent 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"] } } }

Don't check in scraped wiki text. Infobox *examples* for parser tests are fine (short, fair-use-grade fixtures). Full page dumps are not.
