Overview

What is Hugging Face MCP Server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides access to Hugging Face's AI image generation models, including Stable Diffusion. It allows users to generate images from text prompts using multiple models, check API status, and manage tokens—all through the MCP interface.

How to use Hugging Face MCP Server?

Clone the repository and install dependencies with npm install. Obtain a free Hugging Face API token from your settings page and set it as the HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN environment variable. Then add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration (or any MCP client) pointing to the server's index.js file. Use the provided tools: generate_image, list_models, and check_status.

Frequently asked questions

1

What models are available?

Stable Diffusion 2.1, Stable Diffusion XL, OpenJourney, Dreamlike Diffusion, and Anything v5 (anime/manga style).

2

Is there a free tier?

Yes, the free tier is rate-limited to approximately 10–20 requests per minute. Some models may experience queue times. For production use, upgrading to a paid plan is recommended.

3

How do I get a Hugging Face API token?

Go to https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens, create a new token (free), and copy it. Set it as the `HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN` environment variable.

4

How do I configure this server in Claude Desktop?

Add a `mcpServers` entry to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` with `command: "node"`, `args: ["/path/to/index.js"]`, and `env: { HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN: "your_token" }`.

5

What parameters can I use for image generation?

`prompt` (required), `model` (defaults to sd-2.1), `negative_prompt`, `guidance_scale` (higher values follow prompt more closely), and `save_path` (to save locally instead of base64).
