🎮 How to Use

Adding the node to your graph

Double-click on an empty area of the ComfyUI canvas to open the node search, type Advanced Model Manager, then click the result to place it.

Once placed, the node shows a live count of all your installed models and a button to open the manager panel:

Browsing & Downloading Models

1. The left panel lists all HuggingFace repos by author
2. Click any repo name to load its files on the right
3. Each file shows its size and whether it is already downloaded (✓ checkmark)
4. Click ↓ Download to save a file — it goes to the correct ComfyUI subfolder automatically (e.g. models/diffusion_models/, models/loras/, etc.)

Downloading from a Link (🔗 Paste Link)

Found a model somewhere else? Click 🔗 Paste Link, paste the URL, and press Resolve (or Ctrl+Enter). The file is identified, its size is looked up, and the correct ComfyUI folder is picked automatically — then click Download.

Recognised link types:

You paste	What happens
https://civitai.com/models/122359	Latest version's files, folder from the Civitai model type (LORA → loras/, Checkpoint → checkpoints/, …)
https://civitai.com/models/4384?modelVersionId=128713	That specific version
https://civitai.com/api/download/models/62833	The version behind that download link
https://huggingface.co/<repo>/blob/main/path/file.safetensors	That single file, classified by path + repo README
https://huggingface.co/<repo>/resolve/main/…	Same — ?download=true suffixes are fine
https://huggingface.co/<repo>	Opens the repo in the normal file browser
Comfy-Org/flux1-dev	Bare repo ids work too
https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/file.json	Downloaded via raw.githubusercontent.com
Any direct .safetensors / .gguf / .ckpt / .pt / .json URL	Filename taken from the URL or Content-Disposition

You can paste several links at once, one per line. Every row has a destination dropdown, so if the auto-detection guesses wrong you can correct it before downloading. Files already on disk are marked and skipped.

Searching Across All Repos

Just type in the search box — no button needed. The tool searches every file in every repo:

• animate → finds all files with "animate" in the name across all repos
• wan fp8 → finds Wan FP8 files even if the name uses underscores like Wan_fp8
• ltx lora → multi-word search, both words must be present

Search is case-insensitive and normalises underscores, dashes and dots to spaces.

HuggingFace Live Search

Click 🌐 Search HuggingFace to search the live HuggingFace index for repos not already in the local index. Results are clickable and load their file list exactly like local repos.

Workflows Tab

Switch to 📋 Workflows mode to browse and download workflow JSON files from:

• ComfyOrg official example workflows
• Kijai WanVideoWrapper example workflows

Workflows are saved directly to your ComfyUI/user/default/workflows/ folder.

Downloaded Tab (💾)

Switch to the 💾 Downloaded tab to see all models currently on disk, organised by category. From here you can:

• Click 📂 to open the containing folder in your file manager
• Click 🗑️ to delete a file

Category Filter

Use the All Categories dropdown to filter the repo list and search results to a specific type: Checkpoints, LoRAs, VAE, Text Encoders, Upscalers, etc.

Refresh / Build Index

Click Refresh to rebuild the local file index. The index is what makes instant cross-repo search possible. Progress is shown live. Once built, search is instant even across hundreds of repos.

📊 Graph Node

Add the Advanced Model Manager node to your workflow graph to get a live dashboard showing how many models of each type you have installed. Click Open Model Downloader on the node to open the full panel.

Model counts update automatically every 8 seconds.

📂 Where Files Are Saved

The tool automatically classifies files and saves them to the right folder:

File type	Saved to
.safetensors, .ckpt checkpoint files	models/checkpoints/ or models/diffusion_models/
LoRA files	models/loras/
VAE files	models/vae/
Text encoder / CLIP files	models/text_encoders/ or models/clip/
Upscaler files	models/upscale_models/
ControlNet files	models/controlnet/
Embeddings / textual inversions	models/embeddings/
Hypernetworks	models/hypernetworks/
Workflow .json files	user/default/workflows/

Any path you have configured in extra_model_paths.yaml is respected. When downloading from a pasted link you can override the detected destination before confirming.

---

⚙️ Requirements

• ComfyUI (any recent version)
• Python 3.10+
• huggingface_hub >= 0.20.0
• requests >= 2.28.0

🔑 Tokens (Optional)

HuggingFace

For downloading gated models (e.g. Meta Llama), set your HuggingFace token in your environment:

export HF_TOKEN=hf_your_token_here

Or log in via the CLI:

huggingface-cli login

Civitai

Some Civitai models require an account to download. Create an API key in your Civitai account settings and set:

export CIVITAI_TOKEN=your_civitai_api_key

Tokens are only ever sent to the host they belong to — your HuggingFace token is never sent to Civitai, and vice versa.
