Hugging Face is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Connect to Hugging Face Hub and thousands of Gradio AI Applications. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Hugging Face as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://huggingface.co/mcp?login and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v0.2.33.
On mcp.site, Hugging Face sits in the AI & Agents category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
