Hugging Face MCP server
Search models, datasets, Spaces and papers on the Hub. Run by Hugging Face.
Search and inspect repositories on the Hugging Face Hub, read files from them, and look up model and dataset details. Signed-in use adds your own Spaces as tools.
Access: No sign-in needed. Anonymous use covers public repositories. A Hugging Face token (added as a custom server with Authorization: Bearer) unlocks your own Spaces. Vendor documentation

Use it through the gateway
Nothing to set up. Connect the Smart Gateway once; when your assistant searches for something Hugging Face does, the first call connects Hugging Face to your account and runs it. You can also connect it with one click from the dashboard.
A third-party server: Hugging Face's terms apply, and its tool descriptions are text in front of your assistant. Connect only servers you trust.
