Changelog Entry

Description

OpenWebUI middleware.py applies MCP connection custom headers directly without calling get_custom_headers(), so template variables like {{USER_ID}} and {{USER_NAME}} are sent literally to MCP servers.

Fixed

MCP connection custom headers now support template variable interpolation ({{USER_ID}}, {{USER_NAME}}, {{CHAT_ID}}, {{MESSAGE_ID}}) via get_custom_headers()

Additional Information

The fix follows the same pattern already used in tools.py for OpenAPI tool servers
