Spice v1.1.0 (Mar 31, 2025)

Announcing the release of Spice v1.1.0! 🤖

Spice v1.1.0 introduces full support for the Model-Context-Protocol (MCP), expanding how models and tools connect. Spice can now act as both an MCP Server, with the new /v1/mcp/sse API, and an MCP Client, supporting stdio and SSE-based servers. This release also introduces a new Web Search tool with Perplexity model support, advanced evaluation workflows with custom eval scorers, including LLM-as-a-judge, and adds an IMAP Data Connector for federated SQL queries across email servers. Alongside these features, v1.1.0 includes automatic NSQL query retries, expanded task tracing, request drains for HTTP server shutdowns, delivering improved reliability, flexibility, and observability.

Highlights in v1.1.0

• Spice as an MCP Server and Client: Spice now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), for expanded tool discovery and connectivity. Spice can:

  1. Run stdio-based MCP servers internally.
  2. Connect to external MCP servers over SSE protocol (Streamable HTTP is coming soon!)

  For more details, see the MCP documentation.

  Usage

  tools:
    - name: google_maps
      from: mcp:npx
      params:
        mcp_args: -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps

  Spice as an MCP Server

  Tools in Spice can be accessed via MCP. For example, connecting from an IDE like Cursor or Windsurf to Spice. Set the MCP Server URL to http://localhost:8090/v1/mcp/sse.

• Perplexity Model Support: Spice now supports Perplexity-hosted models, enabling advanced web search and retrieval capabilities. Example configuration:

  models:
    - name: webs
      from: perplexity:sonar
      params:
        perplexity_auth_token: ${ secrets:SPICE_PERPLEXITY_AUTH_TOKEN }
        perplexity_search_domain_filter:
          - docs.spiceai.org
          - huggingface.co

  For more details, see the Perplexity documentation.

• Web Search Tool: The new Web Search Tool enables Spice models to search the web for information using search engines like Perplexity. Example configuration:

  tools:
    - name: the_internet
      from: websearch
      description: 'Search the web for information.'
      params:
        engine: perplexity
        perplexity_auth_token: ${ secrets:SPICE_PERPLEXITY_AUTH_TOKEN }

  For more details, see the Web Search Tool documentation.

• Eval Scorers: Eval scorers assess model performance on evaluation cases. Spice includes built-in scorers:

  • match: Exact match.
  • json_match: JSON equivalence.
  • includes: Checks if actual output includes expected output.
  • fuzzy_match: Normalized subset matching.
  • levenshtein: Levenshtein distance.

  Custom scorers can use embedding models or LLMs as judges. Example:

  evals:
    - name: australia
      dataset: cricket_questions
      scorers:
        - hf_minilm
        - judge
        - match
  embeddings:
    - name: hf_minilm
      from: huggingface:huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
  models:
    - name: judge
      from: openai:gpt-4o
      params:
        openai_api_key: ${ secrets:OPENAI_API_KEY }
        system_prompt: |
          Compare these stories and score their similarity (0.0 to 1.0).
          Story A: {{ .actual }}
          Story B: {{ .ideal }}

  For more details, see the Eval Scorers documentation.

• IMAP Data Connector: Query emails stored in IMAP servers using federated SQL. Example:

  datasets:
    - from: imap:[email protected]
      name: emails
      params:
        imap_access_token: ${secrets:IMAP_ACCESS_TOKEN}

  For more details, see the IMAP Data Connector documentation.

• Automatic NSQL Query Retries: Failed NSQL queries are now automatically retried, improving reliability for federated queries. For more details, see the NSQL documentation.

• Enhanced Task Tracing: Task history now includes chat completion IDs, and runtime readiness is traced for better observability. Use the runtime.task_history table to query task details. See the Task History documentation.

• Vector Search with Keyword Filtering: The vector search API now includes an optional list of keywords as a parameter, to pre-filter SQL results before performing a vector search. When vector searching via a chat completion, models will automatically generate keywords relevant to the search. See the Vector Search API documentation.

• Improved Refresh Behavior on Startup: Spice won't automatically refresh an accelerated dataset on startup if it doesn't need to. See the Refresh on Startup documentation.

• Graceful Shutdown for HTTP Server: The HTTP server now drains requests for graceful shutdowns, ensuring smoother runtime termination.
