What is Conceptboard?

Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas

Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

Conceptboard vs Wiki.js: editorial side-by-side

C2.5

Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas

◆ Current state

Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.

◆ Where it's heading

The pace is slow and the changes incremental, but accessibility is an emerging emphasis, with Smart sections leading on keyboard navigation and screen-reader descriptions for canvas content. Cloud integrations and visual customization round out the recent work. The direction reads as steady refinement of the existing whiteboard rather than expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued low-frequency releases focused on canvas usability and accessibility, possibly with more board-organization and integration features. The sparse cadence makes a confident near-term call difficult.

6.3

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

◆ Where it's heading

Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.

◆ Prediction

Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
