According to:

@Package-Updates said in OpenWebUI - Package Updates:

MCP Server Support via MCPO: You can now convert and expose your internal MCP tools as interoperable OpenAPI HTTP servers within Open WebUI for seamless, plug-n-play AI toolchain creation. Learn more: https://github.com/open-webui/mcpo

@BrutalBirdie i try to install mcpo but the error message is "ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'LICENSE'" in Cloudron terminal, any suggestion?

[BrutalBirdie]

The update note states it is already installed
Since this is an old Update, this might have been removed again.
Since I see nothing in the repo right now regarding mcpo @staff was it removed?

[firmansi]

@BrutalBirdie yes, i think it's already removed since I don't find mcpo command

[firmansi]

hai Cloudron team, Is the new openwebui update include mcpo back?

[joseph]

no, mcpo is not included . I think it's a separate project .

[firmansi]

@joseph I've tried to install the mcpo as per documentation of openwebui as simple as with pip install mcpo, in overall the installation almost finish but it comes to last error message as follow

"Downloading sse_starlette-2.3.5-py3-none-any.whl (10 kB)
Installing collected packages: pydantic-core, pydantic, sse-starlette, fastapi, mcp, mcpo
Attempting uninstall: pydantic-core
Found existing installation: pydantic_core 2.27.2
Uninstalling pydantic_core-2.27.2:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'LICENSE'"

Please advise, is there any way to make it works

@firmansi
I will have to take a look at mcp and mcpo and OpenWebUI to understand this tool and then make an informed decision.

[Divemasterza]

You can use https://github.com/metatool-ai/metamcp
it's an orchestrator for MCPs and very easy setup.
bonus - all the mcps can be bundled in one endpoint

and then for the example here I have Tavily and Time MCPs

@Divemasterza hopefully cloduron team can make this is standalone app
