Recall MCP in self-hosted chat interfaces like Open WebUI

MCP integration works great in Claude.ai and other tools I use like TypingMind and Cherry Studio.
One limitation I've run into is it's not possible to use the Recall MCP in self-hosted chat interfaces like Open WebUI running on a home server, because those environments can't complete a browser-based OAuth redirect flow. The MCP connection requires Dynamic Client Registration and a browser handshake, which works fine on desktop clients but breaks in server-hosted web UIs.
Would it be worth considering an alternative auth option for example, a static API key or a pre-registered OAuth client that would allow the Recall MCP to be used in environments where a browser redirect isn't possible? This would open up use cases like self-hosted AI chat interfaces accessible from multiple devices on a private network.
