# Every model on the Hub. A shortlist in one ask.

Source: https://corespeed.io/integrations/hugging-face

Connect Hugging Face to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent searches models, datasets, Spaces and papers on the Hub, reads a repo's files and commits, and follows its discussions. It signs in with your own Hugging Face account, and writing, such as opening a discussion, is a separate call.

## Set up an agent

Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)`

It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Connect Hugging Face after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Name the job. Get the models that fit

Your agent searches the Hub, opens the top candidates, and compares license, size and recent activity. You get a shortlist with the reasons.

You ask your agent: "Find three small English embedding models on Hugging Face with a permissive license. Compare downloads, size and their latest commits, and recommend one."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `hugging-face__list_models`: ok, 520 ms
- `hugging-face__get_model`: ok, 380 ms
- `hugging-face__list_repo_commits`: ok, 300 ms

It reads from: Hugging Face.

### Model shortlist: Three that fit.

acme/embed-small-v2 is the pick: a permissive license, small, and updated this month.

**Shortlist**

- acme/embed-small-v2: Apache-2.0, 33M parameters, updated Nov 6.
- acme/embed-base: MIT, 110M parameters, updated Sep 30.
- lab/mini-embed: Apache-2.0, 22M parameters, updated in June.

## Keep your agent. Bring your work

One CoreSpeed account, across compatible agents.

1. **Set up CoreSpeed**: Give your agent the setup line. It adds CoreSpeed and signs you in.
2. **Connect Hugging Face**: Authorize the account and the content you need.
3. **Start with one task**: Ask for a summary, a brief, or a draft. Review the answer.

## Questions

### Can it see my private models and datasets?

Yes, when the account you connect can read them. CoreSpeed holds the sign-in, and your agent never sees the token.

### Does it run models or Spaces?

No. It searches and reads the Hub, and manages repos, discussions and collections. It does not run inference or start a Space.

### Can the agent change my repos?

Only with write access. Creating a repo, changing its settings or commenting are separate tool calls, and your approval policy can hold them.

### Do I have to switch agents?

No. CoreSpeed adds tools to the agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client. Each one signs in once.

### Can my agent access every account in our organization?

No. Access follows your CoreSpeed identity, each connection's visibility, and the app's own permissions. Personal connections stay private.

### Does this work without connecting an account?

No. Connect the app's account first; your CoreSpeed workspace shows what each app needs. The examples on this page use fictional data. All connectors: https://corespeed.io/docs/connectors
