Extend Claude with HF Spaces
What can I do with this?
Example from Shou Xin Image Generator
This plugin gives Claude Desktop new abilities including:
- Create Images
- Transcribe Audio (turn speech in to text)
- Produce Sound Effects and Speech
- Have Claude Chat with other AIs
- Use specialised Vision techniques
- Recommend pet dogs using specialised AI
- and more…
It does this by calling on other AI Models hosted on Hugging Face Spaces - the hub for Open Source AI Model Research.
Take a look at this X Thread, or this Reddit Post for some examples of usage.
What is this?
Search and 3D Model Generation
It’s an MCP Server - software that lets Claude (or other AI’s) dynamically run tools to perform actions on your computer, or interact with other services.
Claude can combine many MCP servers at once. This example shows Claude searching the Web to answer a question, and then generate a 3D Model from the search result.
How do I work this?
To begin, install Claude Desktop and NodeJS.
After that, the easiest way to is to use mcp-get or Smithery. If you are using NVM on Windows use the install script here.
The source code for mcp-hfspace is available on GitHub.
