If you're using the mediawiki api internally (running it on the server), 
you're linking to the program and the viric clause applies. If you're 
using a different client, it's an inter-process comunication, thus the 
client doesn't need to be gpl.
Anyway, a gpl client wouldn't hurt in any way your project (it could 
even support it).

IANAL, don't take my word on it, and so on.
