What is Archbee?

Archbee is tightening the controls around docs it already publishes, not changing what docs are.

Archbee's recent entries are small, concrete additions to its documentation editor and publishing layer: RSS feeds for hybrid and password-protected spaces, export straight from the editor, team-level SAML and OIDC inheritance, and branch history and navigation fixes. Public docs can now return Markdown responses, and PDF output gained navigable bookmarks. None of it changes the product's category; it reduces friction for teams already running docs on it.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

Archbee is tightening the controls around docs it already publishes, not changing what docs are.

◆ Current state

Archbee's recent entries are small, concrete additions to its documentation editor and publishing layer: RSS feeds for hybrid and password-protected spaces, export straight from the editor, team-level SAML and OIDC inheritance, and branch history and navigation fixes. Public docs can now return Markdown responses, and PDF output gained navigable bookmarks. None of it changes the product's category; it reduces friction for teams already running docs on it.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads stand out. Branching keeps getting attention (history, navigation, per-branch icons), which points to docs managed like code with review before publish. Access control is moving up to the team level, so larger organizations can administer many spaces without repeating SSO setup for each one.

◆ Prediction

Expect more branch-workflow and team-admin work; the Markdown responses for public docs hint at machine-readable output, but the entries are too thin to say whether that grows into a larger feature.

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
