MCP-File-Generation-Tool – Export Files Directly from Open WebUI

A lightweight, MCPO-integrated tool that lets you generate, edit and review real files (PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, ZIP, etc.) directly from Open WebUI — just like ChatGPT or Claude.

✅ Supports both Docker and Python ✅ Fully configurable ✅ Ready for production workflows ✅ Open source & MIT licensed

🚀 Create and export files easily from Open WebUI!

This tool allows seamless file generation and export directly from your Open WebUI environment using Python and FastAPI.

DOCKER EXAMPLE

Here is an example of a docker run script file to run both the file export server and the MCPO server:

docker run -d --name file-export-server --network host -e FILE_EXPORT_DIR=/data/output -p 9003:9003 -v /path/to/your/export/folder:/data/output ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-file-export-server:latest
docker run -d --name owui-mcpo --network host -e FILE_EXPORT_BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.100:9003/files -e FILE_EXPORT_DIR=/output -e MCPO_API_KEY=top-secret -e PERSISTENT_FILES=True -e FILES_DELAY=1 -e -e LOG_LEVEL=INFO -e UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY=top-secret -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/your/export/folder:/output ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-mcpo:latest

• Always use absolute paths for volume mounts

⚠️Some users are experiencing trouble with the MCPO server, please use this fix⚠️

Quick Start for Development Versions

Using development versions of libraries is at your own risk. Always test in a safe environment first.

Development Workflow

We follow a structured, Git-based release pipeline to ensure stability, transparency, and smooth deployments.

Branching Strategy

Branch	Purpose	Docker Tag
dev	Active development	dev-latest
alpha	Post-approval testing (basic validation)	alpha-latest
beta	Optimization & in-depth testing	beta-latest
release-candidate	Final validation before production	rc-latest
main	Stable, production-ready code	latest

Workflow Flow

1. Develop → Work in the dev branch
2. Review & Approve → Pull request to alpha
3. Test → Validate in alpha → Merge to beta
4. Optimize → Refine in beta → Merge to release-candidate
5. Deploy → Final verification → Merge to main

✅ Each branch has its own dedicated Docker image tag
✅ Ensures clean, traceable, and safe releases
✅ Ideal for contributors, testers, and CI/CD automation

DEV DOCKER EXAMPLE

Here is an example of a docker run script file to run both the file export server and the MCPO server:

docker run -d --name file-export-server --network host -e FILE_EXPORT_DIR=/data/output -p 9003:9003 -v /path/to/your/export/folder:/data/output ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-file-export-server:dev-latest
docker run -d --name owui-mcpo --network host -e FILE_EXPORT_BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.100:9003/files -e FILE_EXPORT_DIR=/output -e MCPO_API_KEY=top-secret -e PERSISTENT_FILES=True -e FILES_DELAY=1 -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -e UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY=top-secret -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/your/export/folder:/output ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-mcpo:dev-latest
or
docker run -d --name file-gen-sse-http --network host -e FILE_EXPORT_BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.100:9003/files -e FILE_EXPORT_DIR=/output -e PERSISTENT_FILES=True -e FILES_DELAY=1 -e LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG -e UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY=top-secret -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/your/export/folder:/output ghcr.io/glissemantv/file-gen-sse-http:dev-latest

Here is an example of a docker-compose.yaml file to run both the file export server and the MCPO server:

services:
  file-export-server:
    image: ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-file-export-server:dev-latest
    container_name: file-export-server
    environment:

    ports:
      - "9003:9003"
    volumes:
      - /your/export-data:/output

  owui-mcpo:
    image: ghcr.io/glissemantv/owui-mcpo:dev-latest
    container_name: owui-mcpo
    environment:
      - FILE_EXPORT_BASE_URL=http://file-export-server:9003/files

      - OWUI_URL=http://localhost:3000
    ports:

      - "9004:9004" # Use this port instead of the other only if you want to use the SSE HTTP server
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /your/export-data:/output
    depends_on:
      - file-export-server
