MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
Hugging Face MCP Server
Hugging Face Official MCP Server connects your large language models (LLMs) to the Hugging Face Hub and thousands of Gradio AI Applications, enabling seamless MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration across multiple transports. It supports STDIO, SSE (to be deprecated but still commonly deployed), StreamableHTTP, and StreamableHTTPJson, with the Web Application allowing dynamic tool management and status updates. This MCP server is designed to be run locally or in Docker, and it provides integrations with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Gemini CLI (and its extension), VSCode, and Cursor, making it easy to configure and manage MCP-enabled tools and endpoints. Tools such as hf_doc_search and hf_doc_fetch can be enabled to enhance document discovery, and an optional Authenticate tool can be included to handle OAuth challenges when called.
Figma MCP server
The Figma MCP server enables design context delivery from Figma files to AI agents and code editors, empowering teams to generate code directly from design selections. It supports both a remote hosted server and a locally hosted desktop server, allowing seamless integration with popular editors through Code Connect and a suite of tools that extract design context, metadata, variables, and more. This guide covers enabling the MCP server, configuring clients (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, and others), and using a curated set of MCP tools to fetch structured design data for faster, more accurate code generation. It also explains best practices, prompts, and integration workflows that help teams align generated output with their design systems. The documentation includes concrete JSON examples for configuring servers in editors like VS Code and Cursor, as well as command examples for Claude Code integration and plugin installation.
