Manage Cross-Wiki Reach
Steps
Configure cross-wiki reach so an MCP endpoint on one wiki can search and act across multiple wikis in the farm.
You must be a main-wiki administrator to change reach settings.
- Navigate to the main wiki's administration.
- Open the "MCP Server" section to see the farm dashboard table.
- For each wiki, check or uncheck "Cross-wiki reach".
- Save with one click.
Default reach behavior
- The main wiki reaches the whole farm by default.
- Subwiki endpoints see only their own wiki by default.
- You can grant reach to subwikis or revoke it from the main wiki, by using the farm dashboard.
Reach as a source-side grant
A reach-enabled endpoint can search and read a target wiki even if that target wiki's own MCP endpoint is disabled. The target wiki's tool toggles and space filter do not apply to cross-wiki requests. Only two things still constrain reach:
- The acting user's rights on the target wiki.
- The source endpoint's own space filter.
This is why disabling a wiki's endpoint does not hide that wiki from other endpoints. If a wiki must never be reachable, control access through user rights on that wiki and do not grant reach.
The farm dashboard
The main wiki's MCP admin section shows a table of every wiki with:
- MCP enabled - checkbox, editable if you are an admin of that wiki (shown read-only otherwise).
- Cross-wiki reach - checkbox, editable only by main-wiki (farm) administrators.
- Wiki - name of the wiki
- Configure - link to that wiki's own MCP admin section.
FAQ
Can a subwiki administrator grant their own endpoint reach?
No. The reach setting is stored on the main wiki's configuration document, which is only editable by main-wiki administrators.
