Changelog Entry

  • Add Dynamic user-specific headers inputs for MCP tool server headers w/ ({{VARIABLE_NAME}} templating (Header keys defined by admin side). No dependencies were added/changed to integrate this feature.

Description

  • This PR adds a user-specific placeholder system for MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool server headers, enabling dynamic header configuration per user. Administrators can define placeholder names in tool server connections, and each user can provide their own values for these placeholders. This allows multi-tenant scenarios where different users can use the same tool server with their own credentials.

Added

  • Backend:
    • Added placeholders field to ToolServerConnection model in backend/open_webui/routers/configs.py
    • Added replace_placeholders_in_headers() utility function in backend/open_webui/utils/tools.py to replace {{PLACEHOLDER_NAME}} patterns
      with user-provided values
    • Integrated placeholder replacement in middleware for both chat payload processing and MCP server connections
  • Frontend:
    • Added placeholder input fields in AddToolServerModal.svelte allowing admins to define placeholder names when configuring tool servers
    • Added "Configure Placeholders" button in IntegrationsMenu.svelte for tools that require placeholder values
    • Created new PlaceholderConfigModal.svelte component for users to enter their placeholder values
    • Created new PlaceholderValues.svelte component for settings page placeholder management
    • Integrated placeholder storage in user settings via tool_server_placeholders field

Changed

  • Modified process_chat_payload() and process_chat_response() in backend/open_webui/utils/middleware.py to include user's
    tool_server_placeholders in extra params
  • Updated get_tools() function to apply placeholder replacement to MCP connection headers

Deprecated

  • None

Removed

  • None

Fixed

  • None

Security

  • User placeholder values are stored in user settings and are private to each user
  • Placeholder replacement happens server-side to prevent exposure of sensitive values
  • Each user can only access their own placeholder values

Breaking Changes

  • BREAKING CHANGE: None

Additional Information

  • None
