Overview
FastGPT is an AI application platform centered on knowledge bases and RAG retrieval, with visual workflows, agent skills, plugins, and MCP. It supports Community self-hosting alongside cloud and commercial editions.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Turn documents into knowledge bases with hybrid retrieval and reranking
Documents across common office and text formats can be chunked, managed, searched, and reranked for RAG context.
Compose visual workflows with agent skills, plugins, and MCP
Conversation workflows, plugin workflows, agent skills, RPA-style nodes, and bidirectional MCP can be orchestrated visually.
For building both internal knowledge QA and more complex AI-agent workflows
It fits teams that want retrieval, tool use, and multi-step application logic managed in the same platform.

Review the custom additional license restrictions and commercial-edition boundary
The license restricts similar multi-tenant SaaS operation and imposes branding/copyright conditions. Do not assume standard Apache-2.0 terms.

Supplemental curator note
FastGPT uses Apache-2.0 as a base but adds restrictions including a prohibition on operating a similar multi-tenant SaaS and requirements around logo/copyright notices. It is therefore recorded as `NOASSERTION` rather than ordinary Apache-2.0 OSS. Review Community versus Commercial edition boundaries as well.
