File metadata from Wikimedia Commons: the licence, author and preferred attribution for a media file.
The crw MCP on your computer calls Wikimedia Commons directly. Calls cost no credits and the data does not pass through fastCRW. Install it once for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI or OpenCode, with your fastCRW API key in place of the placeholder:
