What is Fibery?

Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.

Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.

What is Hostfully?

Hostfully pushes past core PMS into guest screening, damage protection, and direct-booking revenue.

Hostfully is a vacation-rental property management platform that has spent recent releases widening beyond day-to-day operations. The standout is Screen & Protect, a guest-screening and damage-coverage product that works across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct bookings. Around it sits steady interface work: a redesigned Channels page, Inbox property-tag filters, an Integrations page refresh, and a new mobile Notifications page.

Fibery vs Hostfully: editorial side-by-side

F7.5

Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.

◆ Current state

Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.

◆ Where it's heading

Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.

◆ Prediction

Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.

H5.0

Hostfully pushes past core PMS into guest screening, damage protection, and direct-booking revenue.

◆ Current state

Hostfully is a vacation-rental property management platform that has spent recent releases widening beyond day-to-day operations. The standout is Screen & Protect, a guest-screening and damage-coverage product that works across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct bookings. Around it sits steady interface work: a redesigned Channels page, Inbox property-tag filters, an Integrations page refresh, and a new mobile Notifications page.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the recent work. First, Hostfully is treating trust and safety as a product line with Screen & Protect rather than leaving risk to the host. Second, it is investing in direct bookings: the upgraded Direct Booking Site adds branding control, map-based discovery, and merchandised discounts, which reduces dependence on OTA channel fees. The parallel run of UX refreshes points to an effort to make multi-property operations less cluttered.

◆ Prediction

Expect Screen & Protect coverage and the Hosting Quality Dashboard, both Airbnb-first today, to expand to the other channels Hostfully already syncs, and the phased Direct Booking Site rollout to finish across the customer base over the summer.
