Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.9.1

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Proxmox 9.1.7

Browser (if applicable)

Zen Browser

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

I hope the CPU usage does not increase drastically, or at the very least, diminishes once OpenWebUI is no longer in use.

Actual Behavior

Since this update, I've observed a significant increase in CPU usage after a query is completed. After the query has finished responding, generating follow-ups, and the title, the CPU usage unexpectedly spikes to approximately 25%, even when there appears to be no other activity. This behavior was not present in earlier versions.

Steps to Reproduce

In Proxmox:

  1. Install Alpine Linux with Docker
  2. Install OpenWebUI with Docker Compose
  3. Run and generate a question with Llama-Swap integration

Bug report: CPU spikes to 100% on first message when MCPHub is connected

Version: Regression introduced after 0.8.2 — not present in that version.

Reproduction

Reproducible with any model. Steps:

  1. Connect to MCPHub
  2. Open a new chat session
  3. Send any first message

Result: CPU immediately pegs at 100%.

Additional behavior: admin panel connection test

When testing the MCP integration via the admin panel, despite the connection appearing to work in chat, the following happens:

  • No success notification toast is shown
  • The logs emit a clear error (see below)

Error log

Summary:

RuntimeError: Attempted to exit cancel scope in a different task than it was entered in

Notes

  • Error originates in mcp/client/streamable_http.py around anyio cancel scope / task group teardown
  • Likely cause: MCP client cleanup is running in a different asyncio task context than where it was initialized — a concurrency or lifecycle change introduced after 0.8.2
  • Full container logs attached (relevant entries begin around 20:59:29.460)

I hadn't thought it could be MCPHub. I didn't have any problems with it before, but it seems we're now two people experiencing issues and needing MCPHub. I appreciate your report.

Just echoing on this as well to show it is affecting more users. One prompt and a single core will go to 100% and stay there until I restart the service. Also noted the chat working indicator never stops spinning, and the ui will get progressively slower until the service is restarted.

@somera commented on GitHub (Apr 22, 2026):

I updated from v0.8.12 to v0.9.1. And my VN runs on Proxmox 8.x. After I could login into Open WebUI I didn't see any models. In logs exceptions. I had no time for deep analysis. I go back to my backup with v0.8.12.

Perhaps I have time to look on this on weekend.

Why so many problems in this release?

<!-- gh-comment-id:4298516300 --> @somera commented on GitHub (Apr 22, 2026): I updated from v0.8.12 to v0.9.1. And my VN runs on Proxmox 8.x. After I could login into Open WebUI I didn't see any models. In logs exceptions. I had no time for deep analysis. I go back to my backup with v0.8.12. Perhaps I have time to look on this on weekend. Why so many problems in this release?

Workaround for CPU spike when using MCPHub "the regular way".

For those hitting this with MCP tool servers, the root cause is OWUI's streamable HTTP client leaking async tasks on teardown, which spins the event loop at 100% CPU until container restart. This - if I'm understanding all of it correctly - is a known recurring bug, also documented in #18316 and #18279.

Working workaround until this is fixed: route your MCP servers through mcpo and connect them to OWUI as OpenAPI tool servers instead of MCP Streamable HTTP. This bypasses the broken transport entirely.

Setup

Add mcpo to your docker-compose alongside your MCP server(s):

mcpo:
  image: ghcr.io/open-webui/mcpo:main
  ports:
    - "3101:8000"
  volumes:
    - ./mcpo_config.json:/app/config.json
  command: --port 8000 --api-key "your-mcpo-secret" --config /app/config.json
  restart: unless-stopped

Create mcpo_config.json next to your compose file. Important: use type: sse, not streamable-http (!) ; mcpo only forwards headers (for auth) on SSE type connections:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://your-mcp-host/sse/my-server",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-mcp-server-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then in OWUI, add each server as an OpenAPI (not MCP) tool server pointing to http://your-host:3101/my-server, with Bearer token your-mcpo-secret.

Key gotcha

mcpo silently ignores the headers field for streamable-http type entries, so auth tokens don't get forwarded and you get 403s on tool calls. Using type: sse with the /sse/ endpoint path works correctly.

No CPU spikes, no container restarts needed. The OpenAPI path in OWUI is stable and unaffected by the streamable HTTP bug.

On my end I can confirm the fix delivered on v0.9.2 is working fine.
CPU usage back to normal and I can use the MCP servers in streamableHTTP format again.

👍

I confirm as well, it works like a charm right since v0.9.2.

It works for me but models claim they can't see any tools despite the MCP being enabled on the model and perfectly accessible from opencode and other agents.
