Official Hugging Face MCP Server that connects AI assistants directly to the Hugging Face Hub ecosystem. Provides tools for searching and retrieving models, datasets, and research papers, running inference on thousands of Gradio-powered AI applications (Spaces), and accessing the full Hub API. Supports remote HTTP-streaming via https://huggingface.co/mcp with OAuth or Bearer token auth, as well as local stdio deployment. Works with Claude, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
Official MCP server for the Perplexity API Platform. Provides AI agents with real-time web search, deep research, and advanced reasoning capabilities through Sonar models. Includes tools for quick web search, conversational Q&A with citations, comprehensive deep research reports, and complex analytical reasoning. Returns answers with source attribution and supports configurable timeouts for long research queries.
Official MCP server for Qdrant vector search engine. Acts as a semantic memory layer enabling AI agents to store and retrieve information using vector similarity search. Supports storing text with metadata, semantic querying, configurable embedding models via FastEmbed, and both cloud-hosted and local Qdrant instances. Useful for building RAG pipelines, code search, knowledge bases, and long-term agent memory.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
