ModelScope Unified Operations Entrypoint

Verified with modelscope 1.37.1, Python 3.12 (2026-06-23)

Operate the full range of ModelScope platform capabilities through OpenAPI, CLI, and SDK, covering Hub (models/datasets), Studio, MCP services, and the Skills Center (Skills). This Skill serves as a quick-reference entrypoint; complex operational workflows require the dedicated Skill.

Requirements

pip install modelscope

pip install modelscope installs both the SDK (modelscope.hub.api.HubApi) and two sets of command-line entrypoints:

• ms (driven by modelscope_hub v0.1.2): Hub / Studio / MCP operations (download/upload/create/deploy/mcp/secret/…). This document uses ms uniformly for Hub/Studio/MCP commands.
• modelscope (legacy CLI): additionally provides commands such as skills (modelscope skills add) — ms (modelscope_hub) does not have a skills subcommand.

⚠️ Both packages register the ms and modelscope entrypoints; which one actually takes effect depends on install order. If an entrypoint lacks a required subcommand (typically: ms has no skills), switch to the other entrypoint, or use the SDK / curl install.sh (see §9 and references/skills-center.md).
