How to Use

  1. Open OpenWebUI and go to Workspace > Tools
  2. Install Batch Install Plugins from GitHub from the marketplace
  3. Enable this tool for your model/chat
  4. Ask the model to install plugins

Interactive Installation Workflow

The repo parameter accepts one or more owner/repo values separated by commas, semicolons, or new lines.

After plugin discovery and filtering, OpenWebUI opens a browser dialog built with the execute event. The dialog merges results from every requested repository, groups them by repository, supports repository tags, type filters, and keyword search, and lets you check exactly which plugins to install before the API calls start.

If one user request mentions multiple repositories, keep them in the same request so the model can pass them into a single tool call.

Paste this prompt into your chat:

Install all plugins from Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions, iChristGit/OpenWebui-Tools, Haervwe/open-webui-tools, Classic298/open-webui-plugins, suurt8ll/open_webui_functions, rbb-dev/Open-WebUI-OpenRouter-pipe

Once the dialog opens, use the repository tags, type filters, and keyword search to narrow the list before installing. Already installed plugins are automatically updated.

You can replace that repository list with your own collections whenever needed.

Default Repository

When no repository is specified, the tool uses Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions (my personal collection).

Plugin Detection Rules

Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions (Strict)

For the default repository, the tool applies stricter filtering: 1. A .py file containing class Tools:, class Filter:, class Pipe:, or class Action: 2. A docstring with title:, description:, and openwebui_id: metadata 3. Filename must not end with _cn

Other Public GitHub Repositories

For other repositories: 1. A .py file containing class Tools:, class Filter:, class Pipe:, or class Action: 2. A docstring with title: and description: fields

Configuration (Valves)

Parameter Default Description
SKIP_KEYWORDS test,verify,example,template,mock Comma-separated keywords to skip
TIMEOUT 20 Request timeout in seconds

Selection Dialog Timeout

The plugin selection dialog has a default timeout of 2 minutes (120 seconds), allowing sufficient time for users to: - Read and review the plugin list - Check or uncheck the plugins they want - Handle network delays
