Connect Claude

Let Claude (via Claude Desktop) read and edit your wikis over MCP, and co-edit pages with you live. The config below is filled in with this install's real paths — just copy it in.

  1. Keep Waikiki running (this window). It serves at {{ web_url }}.
  2. Open Claude Desktop’s config file (create it if it doesn’t exist):
    {{ config_path }}
  3. Paste this, then save. If you already have an mcpServers block, add the "waikiki" entry inside it.
    {{ claude_config }}
  4. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop (⌘Q — not just close the window) so it picks up the new server.
  5. In Claude, pick a wiki first — say “list the waikiki wikis and switch to Beaconlight”. Claude must switch_wiki before it can read or write pages; this keeps the wikis from mixing.

Try it

Open a page’s editor here, then ask Claude: “In the Beaconlight wiki, add a ‘Getting started’ section to the Overview page.” Watch it type into your editor live, with a Claude presence chip.

What Claude can do

Every tool result names the wiki it acted on, so Claude never silently crosses between wikis. Claude’s active wiki is independent of the one you’re viewing here — tell it to switch_wiki to match. After a Waikiki update, fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop so it picks up new tools.
