📄 Description

fix: resolve pickle error by decoupling mcp_clients from metadata

Description

This PR resolves the TypeError: cannot pickle '_asyncio.Future' object error that occurs when using MCP tools in chat.

Changes

  1. Fix Pickling Error:
    • Decoupled mcp_clients from the metadata dictionary in backend/open_webui/utils/middleware.py.
    • Updated backend/open_webui/main.py to handle mcp_clients as a local variable/return value instead of accessing it via the pickled metadata object.
  2. Fix Indentation Error:
    • Corrected an IndentationError in backend/open_webui/main.py (around line 1793) ensuring proper asyncio.create_task execution flow.

Fixes #20629
