HF Dataset MCP
by cfahlgren1
Provides tools for interacting with the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API, allowing users to search datasets, fetch metadata, retrieve rows, and perform full-text search or SQL-like filtering on dataset content.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@HF Dataset MCPSearch for the top 5 most downloaded text classification datasets"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
