# Hugging Face JS libraries
This is a collection of JS libraries to interact with the Hugging Face API, with TS types included.
- [@huggingface/hub](packages/hub/README.md): Interact with huggingface.co to create or delete repos and commit / download files
- [@huggingface/inference](packages/inference/README.md): Use all supported (serverless) Inference Providers or switch to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) to make calls to 100,000+ Machine Learning models
- [@huggingface/mcp-client](packages/mcp-client/README.md): A Model Context Protocol (MCP) client, and a tiny Agent library, built on top of InferenceClient.
- [@huggingface/gguf](packages/gguf/README.md): A GGUF parser that works on remotely hosted files.
- [@huggingface/dduf](packages/dduf/README.md): Similar package for DDUF (DDUF Diffusers Unified Format)
- [@huggingface/tasks](packages/tasks/README.md): The definition files and source-of-truth for the Hub's main primitives like pipeline tasks, model libraries, etc.
- [@huggingface/jinja](packages/jinja/README.md): A minimalistic JS implementation of the Jinja templating engine, to be used for ML chat templates.
- [@huggingface/space-header](packages/space-header/README.md): Use the Space `mini_header` outside Hugging Face
- [@huggingface/ollama-utils](packages/ollama-utils/README.md): Various utilities for maintaining Ollama compatibility with models on the Hugging Face Hub.
- [@huggingface/tiny-agents](packages/tiny-agents/README.md): A tiny, model-agnostic library for building AI agents that can use tools.
We use modern features to avoid polyfills and dependencies, so the libraries will only work on modern browsers / Node.js >= 18 / Bun / Deno.
The libraries are still very young, please help us by opening issues!
## Installation
### From NPM
To install via NPM, you can download the libraries as needed:
```bash
npm install @huggingface/hub
npm install @huggingface/inference
npm install @huggingface/mcp-client
```
Then import the libraries in your code:
```ts
import { createRepo, commit, deleteRepo, listFiles } from "@huggingface/hub";
import { InferenceClient } from "@huggingface/inference";
import { McpClient } from "@huggingface/mcp-client";
import type { RepoId } from "@huggingface/hub";
```
### From CDN or Static hosting
You can run our packages with vanilla JS, without any bundler, by using a CDN or static hosting. Using [ES modules](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/03/es-modules-a-cartoon-deep-dive/), i.e. `<script type="module">`, you can import the libraries in your code:
```html
<script type="module">
import { InferenceClient } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@huggingface/
[email protected]/+esm';
import { createRepo, commit, deleteRepo, listFiles } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@huggingface/
[email protected]/+esm";
</script>
```
### Deno
```ts
// esm.sh
import { InferenceClient } from "https://esm.sh/@huggingface/inference"
import { createRepo, commit, deleteRepo, listFiles } from "https://esm.sh/@huggingface/hub"
// or npm:
import { InferenceClient } from "npm:@huggingface/inference"
import { createRepo, commit, deleteRepo, listFiles } from "npm:@huggingface/hub"
```
## Usage examples
Get your HF access token in your [account settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens).
### @huggingface/inference examples
```ts
import { InferenceClient } from "@huggingface/inference";
const HF_TOKEN = "hf_...";
const client = new InferenceClient(HF_TOKEN);
// Chat completion API
const out = await client.chatCompletion({
model: "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, nice to meet you!" }],
max_tokens: 512
});
console.log(out.choices[0].message);
// Streaming chat completion API
for await (const chunk of client.chatCompletionStream({
model: "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, nice to meet you!" }],
max_tokens: 512
})) {
console.log(chunk.choices[0].delta.content);
}
/// Using a third-party provider:
await client.chatCompletion({
model: "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, nice to meet you!" }],
max_tokens: 512,
provider: "sambanova", // or together, fal-ai, replicate, cohere …
})
await client.textToImage({
model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev",
inputs: "a picture of a green bird",
provider: "fal-ai",
})
// You can also omit "model" to use the recommended model for the task
await client.translation({
inputs: "My name is Wolfgang and I live in Amsterdam",
parameters: {
src_lang: "en",
tgt_lang: "fr",
},
});
// pass multimodal files or URLs as inputs
await client.imageToText({
model: 'nlpconnect/vit-gpt2-image-captioning',
data: await (await fetch('https://picsum.photos/300/300')).blob(),
})
// Using your own dedicated inference endpoint: https://hf.co/docs/inference-endpoints/
const gpt2Client = client.endpoint('https://xyz.eu-west-1.aws.endpoints.huggingface.cloud/gpt2');
const { generated_text } = await gpt2Client.textGeneration({ inputs: 'The answer to the universe is' });
// Chat Completion
const llamaEndpoint = client.endpoint(
"https://router.huggingface.co/hf-inference/models/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"
);
const out = await llamaEndpoint.chatCompletion({
model: "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello, nice to meet you!" }],
max_tokens: 512,
});
console.log(out.choices[0].message);
```
### @huggingface/hub examples
```ts
import { createRepo, uploadFile, deleteFiles } from "@huggingface/hub";
const HF_TOKEN = "hf_...";
await createRepo({
repo: "my-user/nlp-model", // or { type: "model", name: "my-user/nlp-test" },
accessToken: HF_TOKEN
});
await uploadFile({
repo: "my-user/nlp-model",
accessToken: HF_TOKEN,
// Can work with native File in browsers
file: {
path: "pytorch_model.bin",
content: new Blob(...)
}
});
await deleteFiles({
repo: { type: "space", name: "my-user/my-space" }, // or "spaces/my-user/my-space"
accessToken: HF_TOKEN,
paths: ["README.md", ".gitattributes"]
});
```
### @huggingface/mcp-client example
```ts
import { Agent } from '@huggingface/mcp-client';
const HF_TOKEN = "hf_...";
const agent = new Agent({
provider: "auto",
model: "Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct",
apiKey: HF_TOKEN,
servers: [
{
// Playwright MCP
command: "npx",
args: ["@playwright/mcp@latest"],
},
],
});
await agent.loadTools();
for await (const chunk of agent.run("What are the top 5 trending models on Hugging Face?")) {
if ("choices" in chunk) {
const delta = chunk.choices[0]?.delta;
if (delta.content) {
console.log(delta.content);
}
}
}
```
There are more features of course, check each library's README!
## Formatting & testing
```console
sudo corepack enable
pnpm install
pnpm -r format:check
pnpm -r lint:check
pnpm -r test
```
## Building
```
pnpm -r build
```
This will generate ESM and CJS javascript files in `packages/*/dist`, eg `packages/inference/dist/index.mjs`.
", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"10335","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: []" returns me the "expected json"
