Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Problem Description

My setup is AWS Bedrock - LiteLLM -> OpenWebUI. It's mandatory to track each user`s spending via LiteLLM, MCPs are also configured via LiteLLM, and users need their LiteLLM API tokens to use the MCPs.

I'm lacking the ability to allow users to configure their own MCP servers in OpenWebUI "External Tools" - only OpenAPI is currently supported. MCP server configuration is supported via admin configuration, and it's enabled globally - the problem with global setup is that it uses a single bearer token. Therefore, I can't correctly assign the costs to the user who uses the token.

Desired Solution you'd like

Users are allowed to configure their own MCP servers via External Tools, just like global admin configuration:

@tjbck Feels tad limiting on the user side, but at the same time admin should be the one allowing tools for users.

@tjbck why it's intended behaviour? Admins should decide if to allow that for users.
