Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of mcpo.

mcpo Version

v1.0

Open WebUI Version (if applicable)

v0.6.34

Operating System

macOS Tahoe

Browser (if applicable)

Safari 26.0.1

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both MCPO and Open WebUI.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

I have a custom MCP Server written in Xojo (https://github.com/gkjpettet/mcpwikipedia) that functions through stdout. It works perfectly with LM Studio and Claude Desktop. I am expecting it to be proxied by mcpo to an OpenAPI server.

Actual Behavior

mcpo hangs waiting for application startup.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. I launch my tool (mcpwikipedia) like this:
uvx mcpo --port 51332 -- /Users/garry/mcpservers/mcpwikipedia/mcpwikipedia --useragent="XojoMCPWikipediaSearch" --verbose=true
  1. This is the output in the Terminal:
Starting MCP OpenAPI Proxy on 0.0.0.0:51332 with command: stdbuf -o0 /Users/garry/mcpservers/mcpwikipedia/mcpwikipedia --useragent=XojoMCPWikipediaSearch

INFO:     Started server process [929]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.

  1. The mcpo server never spins up and I am not able to access the tool via Open API.

  2. Turning on verbose mode in my tool shows this:

Oct 18 13:40:45  mcpwikipedia[1014] <Warning>: Response sent and flushed

I am certain my app is flushing stdout correctly so I don't understand why mcpo is not starting correctly. As mentioned earlier, this tool works perfectly in LM Studio and Claude Desktop so I know I am implementing the MCP correctly.

Logs & Screenshots

I'm not familiar with xojo but it looks like for macOS, it builds a .app that can be ran. Does the above command actually work with Claude? I cloned your repo but there's no build in there, just src. mcpo is just running stdbuf -o0 /Users/garry/mcpservers/mcpwikipedia/mcpwikipedia --useragent=XojoMCPWikipediaSearch - if you paste that directly into your terminal does the stdio mcp startup?

Hi,

I've attached a built binary for macOS (Xojo builds the executable and then a resources folder next to).

I'm using the tool in LM Studio with no problems.

Here's how I call it in LM Studio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpwikipedia": {
      "command": "/Users/garry/mcpservers/mcpwikipedia/mcpwikipedia",
      "args": [
        "--useragent",
        "XojoMCPWikipediaSearch"
      ]
    }
  }
}
