Huggingface

Hugging Face Hub MCP — search and inspect models, datasets, and Spaces on the largest open ML repository. No auth required for public reads.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Auth

Public reads are keyless. Higher rate limits and gated/private repos require a token — optional:

• Platform key (optional): gateway env PLATFORM_HF_KEY
• BYO (optional): ?_apiKey=<hf_token>

Data source

https://huggingface.co/api/ — public REST.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huggingface": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/huggingface/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Huggingface data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
