What is Morgen?

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

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.

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

◆ Current state

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is converting the Morgen 4 platform investment into shipping velocity, especially around AI scheduling, task integrations, and cross-platform reach (the web edition is now possible). Expect more polish on AI Planner and broader integration coverage as the architecture pays back the rewrite cost. The v3 sunset is scheduled, so future work targets v4 only.

◆ Prediction

The next directional move likely brings the Morgen web experience to general availability, plus AI Planner enhancements that reason over routines and tasks across calendars. More CRM and task-system integrations should follow now that the data layer is unified.

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.
