# How to Build Knowledge Bases with Claude

Claude makes Wikipedia a conversational knowledge source in your terminal where each answer naturally opens the door to deeper questions. Start with a quick fact check, follow the thread into related topics, pull full articles for the sections that matter most, and extract references for primary source verification -- all in one continuous session. The iterative approach mirrors how real research works, letting you build understanding progressively rather than committing to a single query upfront.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Search Wikipedia for articles about cybersecurity fundamentals using wikipedia-lookup"
3. Claude returns relevant articles on the topic
4. Ask: "Get full articles for the top 5 most relevant results and extract key concepts"
5. Claude compiles the extracted content into a structured knowledge base

## Example Prompt

```
Build a cybersecurity knowledge base for our team. Search Wikipedia for articles on network security, encryption, authentication, and common vulnerabilities. Extract key concepts from each.
```

## Tips

- Ask Claude to structure the extracted content into a consistent format
- Use on_this_day to add historical context and engaging timeline entries
- Claude can create glossaries by extracting definitions from multiple articles
