Make GUI use only local HAR/OpenaiChat provider without fetching third-party MCP data

[plia7]

Hi,

I’m running the G4F GUI locally with the following command:

python3 -m g4f.cli gui --port 8080

and accessing it at 127.0.0.1:8080. I want to use only my own OpenaiChat.har file and a specific OpenaiChat provider for all requests.

Even after removing the MCP server URL (https://mcp.g4f.space/mcp) from the settings, the GUI still tries to fetch data from it and repopulates the provider/model lists. This is confusing because the provider (OpenaiChat) I want to use does not appear in the MCP list at all, yet the GUI keeps trying to pull MCP data. Essentially I want to limit the GUI providers to the way I do it in my cli script: from g4f.Provider import OpenaiChat

My question is:

How can I configure or modify the GUI to completely ignore MCP / external servers?

I want the GUI to only show my local provider and models based on my HAR file, without any third-party network calls.

Thanks in advance!

Please select only the necessary tools or no tools at all. Kindly ensure that the provider offers tool support. The default mcp server for /chat is mcp.g4f.space.

Hi @hlohaus, thanks for the response. I want to make sure I understand correctly.

When you say “select only the necessary tools or no tools at all” and “ensure that the provider offers tool support,” could you clarify exactly how to configure the GUI to:

1. Use only my HAR file (so it doesn’t contact any MCP server or external service), and

2. Use solely my chosen provider (OpenAI Chat)

Right now, even after removing MCP servers from settings, the GUI still seems to load https://mcp.g4f.space/mcp in the background. I don’t see any interface or configuration option that actually enforces “no tools / no MCP,” and I’m not sure how to make it fully rely on my HAR file and selected provider.

Could you provide the exact steps or settings to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

When the MCP server is operational, a selection of tools becomes available for your consideration.
