🍀 Support for MCP(Model Context Protocol) protocol.
🍀 Integrated DeepSeek R1, QWQ inference models, all original DB-GPT Chat scenarios now cover deep thinking capabilities.
🍀 GraphRAG retrieval chain enhancement: support for "Vector" and "Intent Recognition+Text2GQL" graph retrievers.
🍀 DB-GPT module package restructuring, original dbgpt package split into dbgpt-core, dbgpt-ext, dbgpt-serve, dbgpt-client, dbgpt-acclerator, dbgpt-app.
🍀 Reconstructed DB-GPT configuration system, configuration files changed to ".toml" format, abolishing the original .env configuration logic.
✨New Features
1. Support for MCP(Model Context Protocol) protocol
Usage instructions:
a. Run the MCP SSE Server gateway:
npx -y supergateway --stdio "uvx mcp-server-fetch"
Here we are running the web scraping mcp-server-fetch
b. Create a Multi-agent+ Auto-Planning+ MCP web page scraping and summarization APP.
c. Configure the APP, select the ToolExpert and Summarizer agents, and add a resource of type tool(mcp(sse)) to ToolExpert, where mcp_servers should be filled with the service address started in step a (default is: http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse), then save the application.
d. Select the newly created MCP Web Fetch APP to chat, provide a webpage for the APP to summarize:
The example input question is: What does this webpage talk about https://www.cnblogs.com/fnng/p/18744210"
2. Integrated DeepSeek R1 inference model
And all Chat scenarios in original DB-GPT now have deep thinking capabilities.

Data analysis scenario:
Knowledge base scenario:
3. GraphRAG retrieval chain enhancement: support for "Vector" and "Intent Recognition+Text2GQL" graph retrievers.
- "Vector" graph retriever
During the knowledge graph construction process, vectors are added to all nodes and edges and indexes are established. When querying, the question is vectorized and through TuGraph-DB's built-in vector indexing capability, based on the HNSW algorithm, topk related nodes and edges are queried. Compared to keyword graph retrieval, it can identify more ambiguous questions.
Configuration example:
[rag.storage.graph]
type = "TuGraph"
host="127.0.0.1"
port=7687
username="admin"
password="73@TuGraph"
enable_summary="True"
triplet_graph_enabled="True"
document_graph_enabled="True"
# Vector graph retrieval configuration items
enable_similarity_search="True"
knowledge_graph_embedding_batch_size=20
similarity_search_topk=5
extract_score_threshold=0.7
- "Intent Recognition+Text2GQL" graph retriever
The question is rewritten through the intent recognition module, extracting true intent and involved entities and relationships, and then translated using the Text2GQL model into GQL statements for direct querying. It can perform more precise graph queries and display corresponding query statements. In addition to calling large model API services, you can also use ollama to call local Text2GQL models.
Configuration example:
[rag.storage.graph]
type = "TuGraph"
host="127.0.0.1"
port=7687
username="admin"
password="73@TuGraph"
enable_summary="True"
triplet_graph_enabled="True"
document_graph_enabled="True"
# Intent Recognition+Text2GQL graph retrieval configuration items
enable_text_search="True"
# Use Ollama to deploy independent text2gql model, enable the following configuration items
# text2gql_model_enabled="True"
# text2gql_model_name="tugraph/CodeLlama-7b-Cypher-hf:latest"
4. DB-GPT module package restructuring
Original dbgpt package split into dbgpt-core, dbgpt-ext, dbgpt-serve, dbgpt-client, dbgpt-acclerator, dbgpt-app
As dbgpt has gradually developed, the service modules have increased, making functional regression testing difficult and compatibility issues more frequent. Therefore, the original dbgpt content has been modularized:
- dbgpt-core: Mainly responsible for core module interface definitions of dbgpt's awel, model, agent, rag, storage, datasource, etc., releasing Python SDK.
- dbgpt-ext: Mainly responsible for implementing dbgpt extension content, including datasource extensions, vector-storage, graph-storage extensions, and model access extensions, making it easier for community developers to quickly use and extend new module content, releasing Python SDK.
- dbgpt-serve: Mainly provides Restful interfaces for dbgpt's atomized services of each module, making it easy for community users to quickly integrate. No Python SDK is released at this time.
- dbgpt-app: Mainly responsible for business scenario implementations such as
App,ChatData,ChatKnowledge,ChatExcel,Dashboard, etc., with no Python SDK. - dbgpt-client: Provides a unified Python SDK client for integration.
- dbgpt-accelerator: Model inference acceleration module, including compatibility and adaptation for different versions (different torch versions, etc.), platforms (Windows, MacOS, and Linux), hardware environments (CPU, CUDA, and ROCM), inference frameworks (vLLM, llama.cpp), quantization methods (AWQ, bitsandbytes, GPTQ), and other acceleration modules (accelerate, flash-attn), providing cross-platform, installable underlying environments on-demand for other DB-GPT modules.
5. Restructured DB-GPT configuration system
The new configuration files using ".toml" format, abolishing the original .env configuration logic, each module can have its own configuration class, and automatically generate front-end configuration pages.

Upgrade Guide:
1. Metadata database upgrade
For SQLite upgrades, table structures will be automatically upgraded by default. For MySQL upgrades, DDL needs to be executed manually. The assets/schema/dbgpt.sql file contains the complete DDL for the current version. Specific version change DDLs can be found in the assets/schema/upgrade directory. For example, if you are upgrading from v0.6.3 to v0.7.0, you can execute the following DDL:
mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -p{your_password} < ./assets/schema/upgrade/v0_7_0/upgrade_to_v0.7.0.sql
2. Vector database upgrade
Due to underlying changes in Chroma storage in v0.7.0, version 0.7.0 does not support reading content from older versions. Please re-import knowledge bases and refresh data sources. Other vector storage solutions are not affected.
