search_models
Search HuggingFace Hub for ComfyUI-compatible models like checkpoints, LoRAs, VAEs, and ControlNets. Returns ranked results with download URLs to install locally.
Instructions
Search HuggingFace Hub for models usable in ComfyUI (checkpoints, LoRAs, VAEs, ControlNets, etc.). Read-only and network-only: queries HuggingFace over HTTP, does NOT require a running ComfyUI or COMFYUI_PATH and does not download anything. Returns a ranked list with modelId, author, downloads, likes, and tags. Pick a result's download URL and pass it to download_model to install it locally. For packs of custom nodes (not models) use search_custom_nodes.
