Model registry

Curated download URLs and target directories, organized by family (Flux, WAN, LTX, Qwen, Z-Image, SD15/SDXL), for every model the comfyui-mcp skills reference, covering checkpoints, VAEs, text encoders, and LoRAs.

How to install

How to install

  1. Setup differs for this server — follow the Installation part of the README below.
  2. Claude Code: claude mcp add <name> -- <command>.
  3. Claude Desktop / Cursor: add it under mcpServers in the MCP config file.
Claude Code — installs the whole folder, not just SKILL.md
npx degit artokun/comfyui-mcp/plugin/skills/model-registry#main ~/.claude/skills/model-registry

For one project only, change the path to .claude/skills/model-registry.

This one runs on your machine and can reach your files. Read the README below before you connect it.

Model Registry

One table per family: filename → source URL → target subdir under <COMFYUI>/models/. Use with download_model({ action: "download", url, target_subfolder, filename }). This registry grows with every release. If a model you need is missing, use action:"search" (HuggingFace) or action:"download_civitai" and consider contributing the row.

Quant column (kitchen). Filenames in this registry are mostly bf16 / fp8. NVFP4 and MXFP8 siblings, when a vendor publishes them, are the same stem with nvfp4 / mxfp8 in the name and belong in diffusion_models/ too. kitchen action:"assess" only offers an NVFP4 swap when that sibling is already listed locally — it does not guess a URL from the filename. Blackwell (SM ≥ 10.0) is the GPU that can run NVFP4 / MXFP8 compute.

Conventions

  • HF "resolve" URLs download directly: https://huggingface.co/<repo>/resolve/main/<path>
  • 🔒 = gated repo, needs HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN (accept the license on the HF page first)
  • CivitAI model-page URLs need download_model action:"download_civitai" (resolves version → file); raw civitai.com/api/download/... URLs work with action:"download" + CIVITAI_API_TOKEN
  • Always verify the exact filename a workflow's loader expects. The model-compatibility skill covers which VAE/CLIP pairs with which architecture

SDXL / SD1.5 community checkpoints (CivitAI)

Use download_model({ action: "download_civitai", model_id }). It resolves the latest version and handles auth:

Model CivitAI
RedCraft RedZ ImageDX civitai.com/models/958009
Qwen Ultimate Realism v1.1 civitai.com/models/2027494
Copax Timeless civitai.com/models/copaxTimeless (search by name)

Failure modes

  • 404 on an HF resolve URL. The repo restructured. Open the repo page, find the file under "Files", and rebuild the resolve URL.
  • 401/403. Gated repo. Set HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN after accepting the license, or CIVITAI_API_TOKEN for early-access CivitAI files.
  • Wrong dropdown after download. The file landed in the wrong models/ subdir; check the Target column and model-compatibility.
  • Downloads resume on retry (HTTP Range), so re-run the same download_model call after a network drop.

Sources

  • Official: Hugging Face resolve-URL convention https://huggingface.co/<repo>/resolve/main/<path>; kitchen NVFP4/MXFP8 hardware gates in ComfyUI comfy/model_management.py and quant metadata in comfy/quant_ops.py.
