📄 Description

Pull Request Description

Title

feat: Make timeout for streamablehttp_client configurable via env var

Description

This PR adds a new environment variable MCP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT that allows users to configure the HTTP client timeout for the MCP streamable HTTP client. Previously, the timeout was not configurable, This enables users to adjust the timeout based on their network conditions and MCP server response times.

Changed

Added MCP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT environment variable in backend/open_webui/env.py
Modified create_insecure_httpx_client() in backend/open_webui/utils/mcp/client.py to use the environment variable as the default timeout when no explicit timeout is provided

Usage

Set the environment variable to configure the HTTP client timeout (in seconds):

export MCP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=60

If not set, the timeout defaults to None (httpx will use its default timeout behavior).

Files Modified

backend/open_webui/env.py - Added new environment variable parsing
backend/open_webui/utils/mcp/client.py - Updated to use configurable timeout

Additional Information

No new dependencies added
No breaking changes - defaults to None which preserves existing behavior
Manual testing: Verified that the environment variable is correctly parsed and applied to the httpx client
