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 ZenHub?

GitHub-native PM remodels around sub-issues and opens up to AI clients via MCP.

ZenHub is in the middle of a structural realignment with GitHub. The April 2025 Epics-and-Projects-to-Sub-issues migration restructured the core data model on top of GitHub's sub-issue primitive, replacing Roadmap with Timeline and unlocking deeper hierarchy. The Fall 2025 release added a Zenhub MCP Server connecting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf to ZenHub, plus universal API access. Recent shipping has focused on Goals & Planning panel polish (drag-and-drop, deep hierarchy, performance) and shared Saved Views with workspace defaults.

Fibery vs ZenHub: 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.

Z0.0

GitHub-native PM remodels around sub-issues and opens up to AI clients via MCP.

◆ Current state

ZenHub is in the middle of a structural realignment with GitHub. The April 2025 Epics-and-Projects-to-Sub-issues migration restructured the core data model on top of GitHub's sub-issue primitive, replacing Roadmap with Timeline and unlocking deeper hierarchy. The Fall 2025 release added a Zenhub MCP Server connecting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf to ZenHub, plus universal API access. Recent shipping has focused on Goals & Planning panel polish (drag-and-drop, deep hierarchy, performance) and shared Saved Views with workspace defaults.

◆ Where it's heading

Two parallel arcs are visible. First, ZenHub is doubling down on its GitHub-native moat — moving the data model on top of GitHub primitives (sub-issues, projects, issue types) means its differentiation gets stronger as GitHub itself improves rather than weaker. Second, it's deliberately positioning itself in the AI-coding-tool ecosystem via MCP, betting that PM context belongs in the same surface developers already use. The May 2025 GitHub permissions update (the first scope change in 11 years) signals that even mundane plumbing is being modernized.

◆ Prediction

Expect tighter integration between MCP and the Goals & Planning hierarchy (agents that can plan a sprint, not just answer questions), additional AI-client coverage as new IDE-side MCP hosts emerge, and continued GitHub feature parity as GitHub adds more native PM primitives.
