Setup: Hugging Face in ChatGPT

ChatGPT adds MCP servers via custom connectors in developer mode. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Hugging Face to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors and enable Developer mode under Advanced.
  3. Click 'Create', name it 'gate', paste your gateway URL, and set authentication to OAuth.
  4. Approve the authorization — Hugging Face is now available in your ChatGPT conversations.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Find the best small model for German summarization.”
“Compare these two datasets for my use case.”
“Which Spaces demo image upscaling?”
“Get me the model card for the latest Llama release.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Hugging Face connection works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Hugging Face exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything ChatGPT did with Hugging Face — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Hugging Face passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
