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

Allow OpenWebUI to include user/session identifiers in MCP tool requests — similar to how it forwards user info headers (ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS) for OpenAI-compatible endpoints — so that external MCPs can maintain user-specific memory and state.

Desired Solution you'd like

ENABLE_FORWARD_USER_INFO_HEADERS or another variable should enable forwarding of user data via headers to MCP

You should use token forwarding instead.

@tjbck thanks for the feedback, how does token forwarding work? Searched on google but couldn't find anything.
What I'm trying to achieve is to forward an unique identifier (such as the ChatId) from OpenWebUI to the MCP via http streamable protocol so I can have memory with the same user between many interactions.
