Hugging Face MCP
DegradedHugging Face MCP is Hugging Face's official server for searching and running the platform's models, datasets, Spaces and papers. It runs over stdio and Streamable HTTP, giving semantic documentation search, Gradio apps exposed as callable tools, and Jobs/Sandboxes for heavier compute. Auth is a Hugging Face token or OAuth.
Why this server
- One MCP for searching models, datasets, Spaces and papers — no need for four different sites
- Gradio apps with MCP enabled become directly callable agent tools, no code required
- Jobs and Sandboxes run heavy compute in the Hugging Face cloud right from the conversation
- Runs over both stdio and Streamable HTTP — one server for local and cloud scenarios alike
Usage examples
Prompt: Find an image-generation model under Apache-2.0 with recent activity
Result: The agent searched models filtered by license and activity, returning matching model cards.
Prompt: Run the background-removal Gradio app on this image
Result: The agent called the Space's Gradio tool directly as an MCP tool and returned the processed image with no code written.
