MCP server for the Aesthetics Wiki (aesthetics.fandom.com) — search, read, and discover aesthetics from your LLM.
Aesthetics Wiki MCP
以下摘录自该仓库的 README(片段) · 在 GitHub 读完整 README →
An MCP server that lets LLMs search, read, and discover aesthetics from the Aesthetics Wiki (cottagecore, dark academia, y2k, goblincore, and thousands more).
Backed by the MediaWiki API. No API key required. Zero setup: run it straight with uvx.
Why
The Aesthetics Wiki is one of the richest open catalogues of visual subcultures on the internet, but its content is locked behind a web UI. This server turns it into a structured tool so an LLM can actually *use* it:
- **Mood-boards and visual research** — pull a gallery of real reference images for any aesthetic in one tool call.
- **Brand and creative direction** — explore adjacent styles, find the right tag for a feeling, compare neighbors.
- **Writing and worldbuilding** — get grounded vocabulary (fashion, music, motifs) instead of generic LLM vibes.
- **Serendipity** — random_aesthetic is a cure for blank-page syndrome.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| search_aesthetic(query, limit=10) | Full-text search across the wiki. |
| get_aesthetic(name, max_chars=6000) | Fetch a page's cleaned content + main image URL. |
| get_aesthetic_images(name, limit=12) | Gallery of image URLs from a page — perfect for moodboards. |
| list_related(name, limit=20) | List aesthetics linked from a page (neighbors/related). |
| random_aesthetic(count=1) | Pick random aesthetics for inspiration. |
All tools are read-only.
Example output
Quick start
Requires Python 3.10+ and uv. Nothing to install manually — uvx fetches and runs it on demand.

Add this to your MCP config (~/.claude/settings.json, project .mcp.json, or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):
Restart your client and the 5 tools show up automatically.
Other MCP clients
Any client that speaks stdio works. Just run uvx aesthetics-wiki-mcp as the transport command.
