Cursor Hugging Face hub_repo_details

Add Hugging Face to Cursor

1. 01

   Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "url": "https://huggingface.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart Cursor.

3. 03

   Ask for something hub_repo_details does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls hub_repo_details itself — you do not invoke it by name.

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Hugging Face's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs
