Fibery vs Nifty: 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 Nifty?
Nifty is widening its MCP server from task access into files, docs, and safe concurrent edits.
Nifty's August digest is dominated by MCP expansion one month after the server shipped. Assistants can now upload a file from a path or URL, create and file Docs with visibility control, and attach or detach them from tasks; large document reads dropped from minutes to roughly a second, and a conflict check stops an assistant overwriting a teammate's later edit. Reporting also gained funnel charts, percentage number widgets, and a large speedup on twelve-month reports.
Fibery vs Nifty: editorial side-by-side
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.
Nifty
2.5PM
Nifty is widening its MCP server from task access into files, docs, and safe concurrent edits.
◆ Current state
Nifty's August digest is dominated by MCP expansion one month after the server shipped. Assistants can now upload a file from a path or URL, create and file Docs with visibility control, and attach or detach them from tasks; large document reads dropped from minutes to roughly a second, and a conflict check stops an assistant overwriting a teammate's later edit. Reporting also gained funnel charts, percentage number widgets, and a large speedup on twelve-month reports.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is clearly Nifty's main investment, and the August work is about making it fast and safe enough for real use rather than extending what it can reach. The concurrency guard is the notable detail: it treats an assistant as one writer among several, which is the problem every multi-agent workspace eventually hits. Distribution through the Microsoft 365 Copilot admin center aims the same capability at buyers who would never configure an MCP client themselves.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to keep absorbing the remaining object types and Nifty to lean harder on admin-center distribution, with reporting performance work continuing behind it.
