Wikipedia Summarizer MCP Server

A Model Client Protocol (MCP) server that fetches Wikipedia articles and summarizes them using Ollama LLM models.

Overview

This project consists of three main components:

  • Ollama Server: An MCP server that provides a tool to summarize Wikipedia articles using Ollama LLM models
  • Command-line Client: A client that can connect to the MCP server and request article summaries
  • Streamlit Interface: A web UI that provides a user-friendly way to interact with the MCP server

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • Ollama installed and running locally with the deepseek-r1:1.5b model (or update the model in ollama_server.py)
  • Internet connection to fetch Wikipedia articles

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Install the required packages:
    uv pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Running the Server

Start the MCP server:

uv run -- ollama_server.py

The server will be available at http://localhost:8000/sse.

Using the Command-line Client

uv run -- updated_client.py http://localhost:8000/sse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

Using the Streamlit Interface

Start the Streamlit application:

uv run -- streamlit run streamlit_new.py

Then open your browser at the URL provided by Streamlit (typically http://localhost:8501) and:

  1. Enter the MCP Server URL (default: http://localhost:8000/sse)
  2. Enter a Wikipedia article URL
  3. Click "Fetch and Summarize Article"

Components

ollama_server.py

Implements the MCP server with a tool for summarizing Wikipedia articles. It fetches article content, converts it to markdown, and uses Ollama to generate a summary.

updated_client.py

A command-line client that connects to the MCP server and calls the summarize_wikipedia_article tool.

streamlit_new.py

A Streamlit-based web interface that provides a user-friendly way to interact with the MCP server.
