## How to connect Hugging Face

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Hugging Face. You sign in to Hugging Face in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Hugging Face from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Hugging Face isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Hugging Face MCP server URL?

Hugging Face publishes it at https://huggingface.co/mcp?login&gradio=none, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Hugging Face MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Hugging Face?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Hugging Face, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Hugging Face before I ask?

No. If a request needs Hugging Face and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Hugging Face?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Hugging Face tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Hugging Face adds later stay off until you turn them on.
