What is Slite?

Slite is making its docs readable by agents before it finishes making them prettier.

Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.

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.

Slite is making its docs readable by agents before it finishes making them prettier.

◆ Current state

Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP work is the load-bearing direction. Exposing comment threads — not just document text — means an external agent can participate in the review loop rather than only read the output, which is a different product than a searchable wiki. The layout changes read as groundwork; the release notes themselves say the sidebar rework 'sets the stage' for something larger.

◆ Prediction

The natural next step is writing through MCP — posting comments or edits, not just resolving threads. The boxed-layout note explicitly signals a bigger change behind it, but the entries don't say what it is.

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.
