Extend Claude with Hugging Face Spaces
What can I do with this?
Example from Shou Xin Image Generator
This MCP Server plugin gives Claude Desktop new abilities including:
- Generating Images
- Transcribe Audio (turn speech in to text)
- Produce Sound Effects and Speech
- Have Claude Chat with other AIs
- Use advanced reasoning 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 results from different MCP servers. This example shows Claude searching the Web and generating a 3D Model from the search result.
How do I work this?
To begin, install Claude Desktop and NodeJS.
Then follow the install instructions from the GitHub page.
