VS Code uses the "servers" key (not "mcpServers").

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huggingface": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@huggingface/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HF_TOKEN": "${HF_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open via Cascade → hammer icon → Configure.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huggingface": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@huggingface/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HF_TOKEN": "${HF_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Open via the Cline sidebar → MCP Servers → Edit.

{
  "experimental": {
    "modelContextProtocolServers": [
      {
        "transport": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "@huggingface/mcp-server"
          ],
          "env": {
            "HF_TOKEN": "${HF_TOKEN}"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Continue uses modelContextProtocolServers with a transport block.

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.huggingface]
command = "npx"
args = [
  "-y",
  "@huggingface/mcp-server",
]
env = { HF_TOKEN = "${HF_TOKEN}" }

Codex uses TOML. Each server is a [mcp_servers.<name>] subtable.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "huggingface": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "@huggingface/mcp-server"
        ]
      },
      "env": {
        "HF_TOKEN": "${HF_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed calls them "context_servers". Settings live-reload on save.

{
  "name": "Hugging Face",
  "transport": "stdio",

    "@huggingface/mcp-server"

  "env": {
    "HF_TOKEN": "${HF_TOKEN}"
  }
}
