What is MCP? #
MCP (Multi-Channel Platform) is a technology that lets our AI agents connect and work with your favorite apps and services.
Think of it as a universal remote: instead of switching between different tools, you can manage everything right from your agent—quickly and easily.
MCP isn’t just about connecting to other services. It actually expands what your agent can do!
With MCP, your agent can:
- Generate diagrams for reports or presentations
- Create videos and images automatically
- Analyze data and build visual dashboards
- etc
So, MCP turns your agent into a powerful assistant that not only connects your apps, but also brings new creative and productive features—helping you get more done, in less time.
Today we will show how to connect MCP with the well-known service Huggingface, and also how to generate images via MCP.
1) First, go to the Hugging Face website. Hugging Face is a popular online platform and community for AI and Machine Learning. It provides easy access to thousands of ready-to-use AI models (for text, images, audio, etc.), tools for building your own models, and a space to collaborate with other users.
2) Next, go to the page with MCP servers – https://huggingface.co/spaces?filter=mcp-server. All these servers are created by Hugging Face users. You can also create your own MCP server on this platform.
3) Since we’re interested in image generation, click on the corresponding category. Choose one of the options, for example, SDXL.
4) Scroll down and select Use API or MCP.
5) In the pop-up window, choose MCP and copy the link.
6) Next, create a new agent in FuseBase or go to edit an existing one. In the Integrations section, paste the copied MCP URL into the appropriate field, enter the server name, and click Connect.
7) Next, you can go to the chat and test the MCP service in action. For example, ask it to generate an image of a summer garden.
This is just one example of extending functionality via MCP. Hugging Face offers a huge number of MCP servers that can turn your agent into a powerful tool with virtually unlimited capabilities.
