Built-in capabilities (13)

create_discussion

Requires the repo type (model, dataset or space), the repo ID in "author/name" format and the discussion title. Returns the created discussion with its ID, title and URL. Create a new discussion on a Hugging Face repo

get_collection

Provide the collection slug. Get details for a specific Hugging Face collection

get_model

Provide the model ID in "author/name" format (e.g. "google-bert/bert-base-uncased"). Get details for a specific Hugging Face model

get_model_tags

Tags include framework (pytorch, tensorflow), license, dataset, language and task-specific labels. The pipeline_tag indicates the model's primary task (e.g. "text-generation", "image-classification", "translation"). Get tags and pipeline info for a Hugging Face model

get_space

Provide the space ID in "author/name" format. Get details for a specific Hugging Face Space

get_user

Returns user name, avatar, organizations, auth type, plan and access tokens metadata. Use this to verify your token is working correctly. Get the authenticated Hugging Face user

list_collections

Optionally filter by author and limit. Returns collection slug, title, description, author, item count and likes count. List collections on Hugging Face Hub

list_dataset_files

Returns filenames (e.g. "train.parquet", "test.parquet", "data/", "README.md"). Optionally set a subdirectory path. Useful for understanding dataset structure before downloading. List files in a Hugging Face dataset repository

list_datasets

Optionally filter by search term, author and limit. Returns dataset ID, author, description, download count, likes count and creation date. List datasets on Hugging Face Hub

list_model_discussions

Returns discussion title, author, creation date, number of comments and whether it is resolved. Use this to review community feedback, bug reports and feature requests for a model. List discussions for a Hugging Face model

list_model_files

Returns filenames, file sizes and paths (e.g. "model.safetensors", "tokenizer.json", "config.json", "README.md"). Optionally set a subdirectory path to list files within a specific folder. Useful for inspecting model artifacts and understanding the repository structure. List files in a Hugging Face model repository

list_models

Optionally filter by search term (free-text across model cards), author (organization or username) and limit the number of results. Returns model ID, author, pipeline task tag, download count, likes count and creation date. List models on Hugging Face Hub

list_spaces

Optionally filter by search term, author and limit. Returns space ID, title, author, SDK (Gradio, Streamlit, Docker), likes count and creation date. List Spaces on Hugging Face Hub

What this connector unlocks

Connect your Hugging Face account to any AI agent and explore the world's largest AI model hub through natural conversation.

What you can do

Model Discovery — Search and browse thousands of models by name, task type, framework and author
Model Inspection — View model metadata including pipeline task, tags, download counts, likes and file structure
Dataset Exploration — Find and inspect datasets with their descriptions, sizes and file trees
Spaces Gallery — Browse ML demo apps (Gradio, Streamlit, Docker) and check their runtime status
Collections — View curated collections of models, datasets and spaces organized by topic
Community Discussions — Read model discussion threads for bug reports, feature requests and usage tips
File Tree Browsing — List repository files (model weights, configs, tokenizers) without downloading

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Hugging Face Access Token
3. Start exploring the ML hub from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

No more switching to the browser to check model tags or browse discussion threads. Your AI acts as a dedicated ML researcher.

Who is this for?

ML Engineers — quickly find models by task type, inspect their tags and file structure, and review community discussions before integration
Researchers — browse datasets, explore collections and discover related models without leaving your notebook
Developers — check Space runtime status, review model files and find suitable models for your application via conversation

Frequently asked questions

Log in to [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co), go to Settings > Access Tokens, click New token, give it a name and select scopes (read is sufficient for browsing, write if you need to create repos). Copy the token immediately — it starts with hf_.

Yes! Use list_models with a search query. While the search endpoint doesn't directly filter by pipeline_tag, you can search by task name (e.g. search='text-generation') and then use get_model or get_model_tags to verify the pipeline_tag of specific models.

Yes! Use list_model_files with the model ID (e.g. 'google-bert/bert-base-uncased') to see the complete file tree including model weights (.safetensors, .bin), config files, tokenizer files and README. Optionally set a path to browse a specific subdirectory like 'onnx' or 'pytorch'.

Yes! Use create_discussion with the repo type ('model', 'dataset' or 'space'), the repo ID and a title. This creates a new discussion thread on the repository. You can use list_model_discussions first to check existing threads before creating a new one.
