Wikipedia Lookup

OpenClaw uses Wikipedia as a structured data extraction engine for teams that need reference information at scale. Batch-query entities, compile comparison datasets across dozens of topics, and build knowledge bases from Wikipedia content in a single systematic session. The structured output -- with consistent fields, formatting, and attribution -- is ready for direct import into internal wikis, training materials, application seed data, or research databases without the manual reformatting that ad-hoc lookups require.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp
2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Wikipedia Lookup tool:

  1. Ask OpenClaw: "Get key data about the European Union from Wikipedia using wikipedia-lookup"
  2. OpenClaw extracts structured facts and statistics
  3. Request: "Output this as a structured JSON object"
  4. Use the data in your application or analysis

Tips

  • Specify exactly which fields you need for cleaner, more useful output
  • Ask for data in a consistent format when comparing multiple entities
  • Use search first to find the correct Wikipedia article title for each entity
