The official Hugging Face MCP Server connects your LLM to the Hugging Face Hub and thousands of Gradio AI applications. It is available as a hosted endpoint at https://huggingface.co/mcp and can also be run locally over STDIO or stateless Streamable HTTP via npx or Docker. Tools and Spaces are configured at huggingface.co/settings/mcp.
O que ela faz
Onde Hugging Face MCP Server roda e o que acrescenta, segundo a documentação
Exposes Hugging Face Hub API and search endpoints as MCP tools
Connects to Gradio Spaces as tools
Offers a bouquet=openai option for Hub filesystem, repo search/details/creation, dynamic Space, Jobs and sandbox tools
Runs over STDIO or Streamable HTTP (JSON mode) at /mcp
Provides a metrics web interface at /metrics when self-hosted
Quando usar
Boa adequação
Searching Hub models, datasets and Spaces from an agent
Letting an agent call Gradio-based AI apps as tools
Self-hosting an MCP endpoint for the Hub in your own infrastructure
Não indicado para
Setups where sending a Hugging Face token to the hosted endpoint is unacceptable (run locally instead)
Como instalar o Hugging Face MCP Server
Você precisa de: Hugging Face account or token for authenticated tools; Node.js (npx) or Docker for local runs
Claude Code: claude mcp add hf-mcp-server -t http https://huggingface.co/mcp?login
Start claude and follow the instructions to authenticate
Repository creation, Jobs, dynamic Space and sandbox tools require Hugging Face authentication
Notas de segurança dos mantenedores
HTTP clients must send a Hugging Face token in the Authorization: Bearer header; the HTTP transport does not fall back to DEFAULT_HF_TOKEN
MCP_STRICT_TOKEN=true rejects token-less connections with 401
The /metrics interface is public unless METRICS_PAGE_PASSWORD is set, and does not protect /mcp
