Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
openai-gpt-image-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool server designed for OpenAI's GPT-4o and gpt-image-1 image generation and editing APIs. This MCP server exposes image-generation capabilities via two primary tools, create-image and edit-image, enabling developers to generate images from prompts and perform inpainting, outpainting, or compositing edits with fine-grained prompt control. It also provides file-output options so generated content can be saved to disk or returned as base64, and it supports a range of MCP-compatible clients, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, VSCode, Windsurf, among others. Built on the MCP SDK and OpenAI and OpenAI-compatible tooling, this server offers a ready-to-run solution for integrating image APIs into MCP-enabled workflows.
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.
