Hugging Face’s official remote MCP server (huggingface/hf-mcp-server), hosted by Hugging Face.

Why it matters

Finding the right model or dataset for a task meant searching the Hugging Face Hub separately. Connect the Hugging Face MCP and you can search models, datasets, Spaces, papers, and docs in natural language — and call Gradio Space-backed tools — from Claude Code.

What you can do

Representative tasks from Hugging Face’s official docs:

  • Search models — “Search Hugging Face models for Qwen 3 Quantizations.”
  • Search datasets — “Show datasets about weather time-series.”
  • Find Spaces — “Find a Space that can transcribe audio files.”
  • Generate images — “Create a 1024 x 1024 image of a cat ghibli style.” (Gradio Space tool)
  • Search docs — “How do I use LoRA adapters with PEFT?”
  • Search papers — “Find papers about vision-language models.”

Grounded in huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/hf-mcp-server and huggingface.co/blog/claude-and-mcp.

Key features

  • Search — semantic search over models, datasets, Spaces, papers, and docs
  • Hub details — detailed info on Models, Datasets, Spaces (optional README)
  • Jobs — run, monitor, and schedule jobs on HF infrastructure
  • Gradio Space tools — add MCP-compatible Spaces (image generation, audio transcription, etc.) as callable tools

Setup

Browser login:

claude mcp add hf-mcp-server -t http https://huggingface.co/mcp?login

Token header:

claude mcp add hf-mcp-server -t http https://huggingface.co/mcp -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN"

Toggle which tools are enabled at huggingface.co/settings/mcp.

Notes

  • Auth — pass an HF access token (huggingface.co/settings/tokens) via the ?login flow or an Authorization header
  • License — MIT (huggingface/hf-mcp-server)
  • To use Gradio Space tools like image generation, add it in Claude as a custom connector (remote MCP URL https://huggingface.co/mcp?login)
  • A local stdio mode is also supported

[Skill] Last30Days · An AI agent skill that researches any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, Polymarket, and the web — then synthesizes a grounded summary. The engine scores results by actual engagement metrics (upvotes, likes, view counts, prediction market odds) rather than editorial authority, resolves entities first (handles, subreddits, GitHub repos, hashtags), runs parallel multi-source queries, merges duplicate stories across platforms, and produces cited briefs. Reddit, HN, Polymarket, and GitHub work immediately with zero configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

frequently asked
§ 7.1
What is the Hugging Face MCP?
Hugging Face's official remote MCP server (`huggingface/hf-mcp-server`). It lets Claude Code search models, datasets, Spaces, papers, and docs in natural language and call Gradio Space-backed tools.
§ 7.2
Where does it work?
It works in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. It's remote-hosted (`https://huggingface.co/mcp`), so there's no local server to run.
§ 7.3
How do I install it?
Run `claude mcp add hf-mcp-server -t http https://huggingface.co/mcp?login` to use the browser login flow, or pass an HF token with `-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN"`.
§ 7.4
What can I do with it?
Search models, datasets, and Spaces, search papers and docs, and call Gradio Space tools like image generation. For example: "Find a Space that can transcribe audio files."
§ 7.5
What about license and auth?
The server code is MIT-licensed. Auth uses an HF access token from huggingface.co/settings/tokens, passed via the `?login` flow or an Authorization header.
