Installing MPC-Bridge with Ollama in Open-WebUI

Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/SecretiveShell/MCP-Bridge.git

Install MPC-bridge,

cd MCP-Bridge
uv sync

make your mpc-bridge config file, create config.json
(models are not necessary, it take its as other connections)
e.g. (inference_server is ollama's installed network address, network is config network address of MCP_Bridge server)

{
   "inference_server": {
      "base_url": "http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1",
      "api_key": "None"
   },
    "mcp_servers": {
        "fetch": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-server-fetch"
            ]
        }
    },
    "sampling": {
        "timeout": 10,
        "models": [
            {
                "model": "llama3.2:latest",
                "intelligence": 0.5,
                "cost": 0,
                "speed": 0.6
            },
            {
                "model": "deepseek-r1:8b",
                "intelligence": 0.7,
                "cost": 0,
                "speed": 0.4
            }
        ]
    },
    "network": {
        "host": "0.0.0.0",
        "port": 9090
    },
    "logging": {
        "log_level": "DEBUG"
    }
}

run server
uv run mcp_bridge/main.py
& check thats is runnig
openwebui-mpc-bridge
openwebui-mpc-bridge1

On openwebui add a openai api compatible connection for mpc-bridge server, and check:

openwebui-mpc-bridge2

Now you have all models as normal, but duplicated (one from ollama and one from mpc-bridge, one with size other without), to no be confused you can switch off ollama connection.

And voila, you have all models on tab & you can chat telling for use tools, or ask for avaible tools ;-)

openwebui-mpc-bridge3

(if is running fine you can change log_level to "INFO", install it as service,...)

Research direction

Start from the MCP-Bridge installation commands, config.json example, Ollama connection details, and linked discussion in this issue. Document the supported setup paths, including the requested pip or Docker alternatives only where their instructions are available. Done means a newcomer can install MCP-Bridge, configure it, run the server, and connect it to Open WebUI.
