Overview
What is MCP Connector for Open WebUI?
The MCP Connector for Open WebUI is a Pipe Function that lets users connect Open WebUI to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It enables the use of MCP‑compatible AI models directly inside the Open WebUI interface, acting as a bridge between the two systems.
How to use MCP Connector for Open WebUI?
Install via pip install git+https://github.com/ivanuser/open-webui-mcp-connector.git or import it in Open WebUI (Workspace > Functions). Then configure one or more MCP servers in the function’s MCP_SERVERS JSON field — provide a name, URL, and optional API key. Save and enable the function; models automatically appear in the model selector with a configurable prefix (default MCP/).

Frequently asked questions
How do I connect multiple MCP servers?
In the function settings, add each server as a JSON object inside the `MCP_SERVERS` array with its `name`, `url`, and optional `api_key`.
What if I see “No address associated with hostname”?
Check that the server URL is correct, your network can reach it, and DNS resolution is working properly.
Why are my connections timing out?
Increase the `CONNECTION_TIMEOUT` value (default 30 seconds), verify the server is not overloaded, and confirm network connectivity.
How can I enable debug logging?
Set `DEBUG_MODE` to `true` in the function settings to get detailed logs for troubleshooting.
