What it does

A community Python MCP server that gives an assistant read-only access to the Hugging Face Hub. Its tools search and describe models, datasets, Spaces and collections, look up a paper with its implementations, and list the curated daily papers. It also exposes Hub items as resources under an hf:// address scheme and offers two prompt templates, one comparing several models and one summarising a paper by arXiv ID. It runs locally over stdio with uv. No configuration is required, though an HF_TOKEN raises rate limits and allows access to private repositories. It is not published by Hugging Face.

Capabilities

  • Search and describe Hub models, datasets and Spaces
  • Search and read Hub collections
  • Get paper details and the daily papers list
  • Compare models with a prompt template
