Azeroth DB: WoW Forever

wowdb-mcp

Read WoW Forever records from Azeroth DB over MCP. Search by a record's name, then read its values and open its exact page.

Connect

The server runs at https://azeroth.wiki/api/mcp over Streamable HTTP. It needs no API key and no install. For Claude Code, use this MCP configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "wowdb": { "type": "http", "url": "https://azeroth.wiki/api/mcp" } } }

In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http wowdb https://azeroth.wiki/api/mcp.

A client that only starts local stdio servers reaches the same endpoint through mcp-remote:

{

"mcpServers": { "wowdb": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://azeroth.wiki/api/mcp"] } } }

Run from source

Requires Node.js 26.12.1 or later.

npm install

node server.mjs

server.mjs serves the same tools over MCP stdio. It writes MCP messages to stdout, starts no HTTP listener, reads no account records and changes no site data. wowdb-mcp exports createServer; wowdb-mcp/http exports handleMcp, which answers one stateless Streamable HTTP request and is what the site's /api/mcp route runs.

Tools

Supported kinds are item, recipe, ability, spell, enchant, talent, legacy, race, quest, giver, camp, dungeon, achievement, faction and English guide. The server does not expose news, player records or map placement tools.

{"name":"search","arguments":{"query":"Empty Vial","kind":"item","limit":1}}

{"name":"get_entity","arguments":{"path":"/forever/items/empty-vial"}} {"name":"search","arguments":{"query":"Leere Phiole","kind":"item","locale":"deDE","limit":1}} {"name":"get_entity","arguments":{"path":"/de/forever/gegenstaende/leere-phiole"}}

Locale codes are enUS (default), deDE, esES, esMX, frFR, koKR, ptBR, ruRU, zhCN and zhTW. Search reads the index of the requested language; lookup takes the language from the returned page path. Reuse that path rather than translating a slug or adding a locale query parameter.

Data boundaries

The English directory and named-record API provide full records for their published paths. Search also covers records with a preview API only. representation is full-record or preview so a caller can distinguish these responses. A named talent is selected from its class response, rather than returning that class as the talent.

Localized lookups return the site's preview data. Those responses may have English field labels, shortened relationship lists or missing text. They do not provide every field of the full English record. Localized guide records have no lookup API and are excluded. The API can describe an ability's last rank above the game's level cap of 60; such a preview returns a tool error instead of presenting that rank as available. The full English ability response keeps ranks with a required level at or below 60, including an unknown level when the API explicitly records it as null. Known item requirements and quest levels above 60 are excluded from discovery.

Keep nulls and missing fields unknown. An item's presence does not establish its drop chance or acquisition conditions. Prices such as sellPrice and observed.price are in copper; vendor observations are not auction prices. Every successful result contains serialized JSON in a text content block. HTTP and lookup failures return isError: true with a message; a missing record asks the caller to search again.

Pagination

limit defaults to 48 and accepts 1 through 48, matching the site's public item collection page size. Search and list results return nextOffset; pass it as offset with the same query, kind and language.

Lookup keeps scalar values and objects and limits each array to the requested page size. If an array has more entries, pagination identifies its field as a JSON pointer and supplies nextOffset. Pass both back to get_entity with the same page path. For example:

{"name":"get_entity","arguments":{"path":"/forever/items/empty-vial","field":"/uses","offset":0,"limit":2}}

Pointers are relative to the returned data, such as /ranks or /recipes/0/materials. They select the original API data before array paging. They cannot retrieve relationships omitted by the API itself. An offset past the final result returns a tool error, rather than repeating the first page.

Testing origin

WOWDB_ORIGIN is the single environment override for API requests, for example http://localhost:3712. It changes the request origin only. Returned page links and data links remain on https://azeroth.wiki.

The package reads its own public API contracts. It does not import site source, store API payloads on disk or retain locale indexes between calls.
