Connect

This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):

For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:

If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:

Tool quality observed · not scored

Heaviest: hf_fs 2419, hf_whoami 1844

From an anonymous initialize + tools/list capture measured 2026-10-20; tokens are chars/3.6 of each tool definition. Recorded for the Kin Score's agent readiness as an observed signal — it contributes no points yet.

Tools

• hf_whoami — Inspect the current Hugging Face authentication context, including the account, visible organization memberships, and credential access details. Read-only and never returns credential values.
• hub_repo_search — Search Hugging Face repositories with a shared query interface. You can target models, datasets, spaces, or aggregate across multiple repo types in one call. Include links to repositories in your response.
• hub_repo_details — Get details for one or more Hugging Face repos (model, dataset, or space). Auto-detects type unless specified. For datasets, use operations: overview, dataset_structure, dataset_preview. Use dataset_structure first to discover configs, splits, sizes, and schema. Use dataset_preview only when config and split are known, unless the dataset has a single config/split.
• hf_fs — When to use: Hugging Face Hub models, datasets, Spaces, collections, papers, daily papers, today's trending models, current paper leaderboard, docs, and repository files. Examples: {"operations":[{"cmd":"ls","args":["hf://models/trending","--limit","10"]}]} {"operations":[{"cmd":"ls","args":["hf://papers/trending"]}]} {"operations":[{"cmd":"ls","args":["hf://papers/daily/latest"]}]} {"operations":[{"cmd":"cat","args":["hf://papers/2501.00001/paper.md"]}]} {"operations":[{"cmd":"search","args":["hf://models","--tag","base_model:finetune:org/repo"]}]} Use hf_fs for Hugging Face Hub filesystem operations. Call it with operations, an array of {cmd, args} items; multiple operations may be submitted together. Usage: {"operations":[{"cmd":"ls","args":["hf://models/org/repo"]}]} Grammar; each string below is one args array item: ls URI [--recursive] [--glob GLOB] [--type TYPE] [--sort SORT] [--limit N] cat URI [--offset N] [--max-bytes N] attach URI [--max-bytes N] stat URI find URI [--name GLOB] [--path GLOB] [--type TYPE] [--limit N] search URI [QUERY] [--type TYPE] [--sort SORT] [--tag TAG] [--kind mcp] [--limit N] COMMAND = ls|cat|attach|stat|find|search. TYPE = file|dir|repo|bucket|collection|paper|link. SORT = createdAt|downloads|likes|lastModified|likes30d|trendingScore|mainSize|id|trending|upvotes. URI is a canonical hf:// URI. QUERY and GLOB are each one string. Use search for resource discovery, not repository-content search; ls for a known directory, find for recursive file discovery by name/path (not file contents), stat for filesystem metadata or an uncertain target type, cat for text contents, and attach for a complete JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. When the request gives an exact text-file URI, use cat directly; do not add ls or stat first. stat does not read the contents of JSON, Markdown, or other text files. Search scopes: hf://models[/OWNER], hf://datasets[/OWNER], hf://spaces[/OWNER], hf://collections[/OWNER], hf://papers, and hf://docs[/...]. Repository and repository-file scopes are not supported: search a resource root or owner scope to discover resources; use find for file discovery within a repository or cat for a known text file. Paper and documentation search require QUERY. --tag filters models, datasets, and Spaces by Hub tag (repeatable; all must match) and applies only to hf://models|datasets|spaces[/OWNER]; omit QUERY when the tag already identifies the target, because QUERY also filters repository names. Derived models carry base_model:ID and base_model:RELATION:ID tags, where RELATION is finetune, adapter, merge, or quantized. --kind applies only to hf://spaces[/OWNER]; the only valid --kind value is mcp, which selects MCP Spaces. Tag families are documented at hf://README.md. Use ls hf://models/trending, hf://datasets/trending, hf://spaces/trending, or hf://papers/trending for trending listings. hf://papers/ID is a paper directory, not paper text. Use cat hf://papers/ID/paper.md for paper text and cat hf://papers/ID/metadata.json for metadata. No preliminary listing is needed for these known paths. Use ls hf://papers/ID to discover other resources. Omit --limit, --sort, and --type unless the request requires them. Limits and path-specific behavior are documented at hf://README.md. Issue one hf_fs call.

About MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.

Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.

Work with this as data

Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
