Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Refer to the stable and edge release notes for detailed information about self-hosted releases.

Retool now provides a native integration for ClickHouse, an open-source column-oriented database designed for real-time analytics. You can create a ClickHouse resource and use it to query analytical data with SQL—including ClickHouse-specific functions and aggregations—build dashboards on live data, and insert records from apps and automations.

Retool is phasing out support for MongoDB Server version 3.4 and earlier. Organizations with an unsupported version of MongoDB Server connected to Retool must upgrade to MongoDB Server 3.6 or later.

  • For cloud organizations, support for MongoDB Server 3.4 and earlier has already been removed.
  • For self-hosted organizations, support for MongoDB Server 3.4 and earlier will be deprecated in the Q2 2026 stable release. It will be removed in the Q3 2026 stable release.

MongoDB Server 3.4 has been end of life (EOL) since January 2020. We recommend upgrading to a currently supported MongoDB release.

You can now select the Python version used by a workflow from the Languages & Libraries tab. Click ... next to Python, select Update version, and choose between Python 3.10 and 3.14.

Python 3.14 does not include built-in libraries. When you upgrade, Retool automatically identifies any built-in libraries your workflow uses and installs them as custom libraries.

Retool now supports an MCP server, which enables you to interact with your Retool organization from your chosen agentic environment.

Retool's MCP server currently supports tools that help you manage your organization and its users. For example, you can use the MCP for the following use cases:

  • Write queries against resources to power data analysis.
  • Bulk-invite users or manage pending invites.
  • Audit the users who have access to your organization.
  • Inspect organization and resource environment configurations.
  • List all connected resources and see their configuration.

Refer to the tool reference for the full list.

Retool is actively adding additional tools that expand the capabilities of the MCP server to include additional Retool functionality, including app building.

Python 3.10 will reach end of life on October 31, 2026. After this date, Retool will no longer support Python 3.10 in Workflows.

What's changing

New and existing workflows on Python 3.10 will continue to run but they will not be supported. They will not be automatically migrated to a newer version.

How to upgrade existing workflows

Python 3.14 is rolling out to cloud instances and will be available in an upcoming self-hosted release.

  1. Open the workflow and go to the Languages & Libraries tab.
  2. Click ... next to Python and select Update version.
  3. Choose Python 3.14 and click Apply.

When you upgrade, Retool automatically identifies built-in libraries your workflow uses and installs them as custom libraries. Python 3.14 is mostly backwards-compatible, but Retool recommends publishing a workflow release before upgrading so you can revert if needed.

See Configure Python version for full details on how to upgrade and revert to a previously published release.
