It doesn't, or at least not in the way you're getting at. The fact that 
MediaWiki is GPLed does not impose any restrictions on the content you 
put in it or on the clients you use to get that content. To be more 
specific: it's OK to use a non-GPLed application to pull data from the API.

What you do need to keep in mind, though, is that the content you're 
serving may be covered by a license, which you'll have to respect. Of 
course, if the content is yours, that's not a problem.
