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

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

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 ;-)

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

NOTE: I forgot, use models with tool holders!!!!
