What is Trello?

Trello's developer platform shifts focus to Atlassian Government Cloud security baselines.

Most recent Trello changelog entries are page navigation, RSS labels, and cookie-banner scrapes rather than feature shipments. The substantive signal is a single thread: Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC) app security requirements were announced in February and went into effect March 31, 2026, raising the bar for any Trello app distributed to government customers. Trello itself appears to be in maintenance mode on the developer platform, with platform-policy work taking precedence over feature 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.

Trello's developer platform shifts focus to Atlassian Government Cloud security baselines.

◆ Current state

Most recent Trello changelog entries are page navigation, RSS labels, and cookie-banner scrapes rather than feature shipments. The substantive signal is a single thread: Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC) app security requirements were announced in February and went into effect March 31, 2026, raising the bar for any Trello app distributed to government customers. Trello itself appears to be in maintenance mode on the developer platform, with platform-policy work taking precedence over feature releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The visible direction is toward enterprise and public-sector compliance hardening, not net-new product capability. AGC baseline requirements are a forcing function for app developers in the Trello ecosystem, and the platform is being shaped to meet that bar before pushing new feature surfaces. The pace of substantive updates from this feed is slow.

◆ Prediction

Likely follow-on is post-deadline guidance and migration support for AGC app developers, plus possible additional baseline tightening as Atlassian standardizes security requirements across its government tenants.

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.
