What is Hugging Face MCP?

The Hugging Face MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Hugging Face to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Hugging Face (ml models, datasets, gradio apps from hf hub) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses no authentication, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Hugging Face tools become available to the model.
