MCP tools — 4 exposed · ~1,267 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
hf_fs ~745

Use to access the Hugging Face Hub. Navigate resources with ls, cat, find, stat, and search over hf:// URIs. Roots: hf://models, hf://datasets, hf://spaces, hf://buckets, hf://collections, hf://papers, hf://docs. For papers, ls hf://papers/ARXIV_ID to discover related resources; cat hf://papers/ARXIV_ID/paper.md or metadata.json. Documentation paths include the current version from each product's llms.txt manifest. Grammar; each token below is one args array element: ls URI [(-R|-r|-lR|-laR|--recursive)] [(-l|-a|-la|-al|--long)] [--glob GLOB] [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [--sort SORT] [(-limit|--limit) N] cat URI [RELATIVE_PATH] [(-offset|--offset) N] [(-max-bytes|--max-bytes) N] stat URI [RELATIVE_PATH] find URI [(-R|-r|--recursive)] [(-name|--name|--glob) GLOB] [(-path|--path) GLOB] [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [(-limit|--limit) N] search URI [QUERY...] [(-type|--type|--entry-type) TYPE] [--sort SORT] [--tag TAG] [--kind mcp] [(-limit|--limit) N] TYPE = file|dir|repo|bucket|collection|paper|link. Type aliases: f=file, d=dir, l=link, model|dataset|space=repo. SORT = createdAt|downloads|likes|lastModified|likes30d|trendingScore|mainSize|id|trending|upvotes. URI starts with hf://. QUERY and GLOB are each one string token. Search URI: hf://models|datasets|spaces[/OWNER], hf://collections[/OWNER], any hf://docs scope, or exactly hf://papers; not hf://. Repository and collection searches may omit QUERY to browse or filter; documentation and paper searches require it. Search joins multiple positional QUERY tokens with spaces. Cat and stat join one RELATIVE_PATH token to URI. Long-list flags are accepted for compatibility; hf_fs listings are already structured, so they do not alter output. Find is already recursive, so recursive flags are accepted without altering behavior. Space search: hf://spaces uses semantic search; repeat --tag to require tags, or use --kind mcp for --tag mcp-serve…

hf_whoami ~35

Hugging Face tools are being used anonymously and may be rate limited. Call this tool for instructions on joining and authenticating.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hub_repo_details ~279

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.

NameTypeReqDescription
configstringDataset Viewer config. Required for dataset_preview when the dataset has multiple config/split options. Discover via dataset_structure.
limitintegerRow count for dataset_preview. Defaults to 5 and is clamped to 1-100.
offsetintegerRow offset for dataset_preview. Defaults to 0.
operationsarrayDetails to return. Defaults to ["overview"]. For datasets, prefer ["overview", "dataset_structure"] first; then call ["dataset_preview"] with config and split.
repo_idsarrayyesRepo IDs for (models|dataset/space) - usually in author/name format (e.g. openai/gpt-oss-120b)
repo_typestringSpecify lookup type; otherwise auto-detects
splitstringDataset Viewer split. Required for dataset_preview when the dataset has multiple config/split options. Discover via dataset_structure.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

hub_repo_search ~208

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.

NameTypeReqDescription
authorstringOrganization or user namespace to filter by (e.g. 'google', 'meta-llama', 'huggingface').
filtersarrayOptional hub filter tags. Applied to each selected repo type (e.g. ["text-generation"], ["language:en"], ["mcp-server"]).
limitnumberMaximum number of results to return per selected repo type
querystringSearch term. Leave blank and specify sort + limit to browse trending or recent repositories.
repo_typesarrayRepository types to search. Defaults to ["model", "dataset"]. space uses keyword search via /api/spaces.
sortstringSort order (descending): trendingScore, downloads, likes, createdAt, lastModified
