Hugging Bay — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hugging Bay do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_artifact, get_artifact_card, get_citation_pack, get_ranking, get_source_coverage, get_source_request_status and 6 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Hugging Bay mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around source and artifact. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Hugging Bay working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 92 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 543 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Hugging Bay still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Hugging Bay?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Hugging Bay need an API key?
No. Hugging Bay completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Hugging Bay?
It answers our handshake in 543 ms on average, which is faster than 19% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Hugging Bay?
The npm package hugging-bay-mcp was installed 58 times in the last week. Week over week that is -3%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
