Fibery vs Kanboard
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Kanboard — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery vs Kanboard: at a glance
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 Kanboard?
Six straight releases of security hardening, now reaching the API's own response shape
Kanboard is a stable, self-hosted PHP kanban board whose release stream is now almost entirely security work. Version 1.2.54 continues that pattern and pushes it further than most: API procedures no longer return private user fields, and changing a password invalidates every existing session and remember-me token. Feature development is close to dormant; the maintenance effort is going into closing whole categories of vulnerability rather than adding surface.

Fibery
7.5PM
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.
Kanboard
2.5PM
Six straight releases of security hardening, now reaching the API's own response shape
◆ Current state
Kanboard is a stable, self-hosted PHP kanban board whose release stream is now almost entirely security work. Version 1.2.54 continues that pattern and pushes it further than most: API procedures no longer return private user fields, and changing a password invalidates every existing session and remember-me token. Feature development is close to dormant; the maintenance effort is going into closing whole categories of vulnerability rather than adding surface.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc from 1.2.49 through 1.2.54 is a systematic audit that works outward from one surface to the next — LDAP escaping, SSRF, deserialization, CSRF, comment visibility, bulk-operation ownership, and now API response shape and session lifetime. Each release also tightens the deployment story, from trusted-proxy configuration to an nginx config that only lets front controllers execute PHP. New user-facing features arrive rarely and small: opt-in full-text search, RTL support, richer API links.
◆ Prediction
Expect the audit to keep moving through remaining surfaces, with more permission checks in API procedures and continued PHP-version and base-image maintenance. Nothing in these entries points to a new feature direction.
