may be broken Perfect for testing specialized models or comparing open source vs proprietary AI.

🔒 Security

Your API keys stay private on your machine. The MCP server only sends model responses to the client, never your credentials.

🛟 Troubleshooting

Import errors: Ensure you've installed all dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt

API errors: Check that your API keys are correct and active

Server not connecting: Verify the file path in your MCP configuration

Cut-off responses: The new version uses 4000 max_tokens by default to prevent truncation

HuggingFace timeouts: Some models may take time to load. Try again after a few moments.

Model not available: Check if the HuggingFace model supports text generation or chat completion
