Collaboration tools are becoming agent hosts: MCP servers, connectors and consent gates in the same week.

The week in collaboration

The sector's workspaces are being turned into places agents live. Notes apps accept agent instructions, assistants connect to any MCP server, and no-code databases run event-triggered routines. The counter-current is consent and cost: at least one product started gating AI use behind explicit data-processing agreement and another moved its free credits to a one-time grant.

The long tail of the sector, mostly project-adjacent tools and knowledge bases, shipped steady incremental work.

Leaders

GitHub appears here for its collaboration surface. Copilot gained computer use for desktop apps, a model-combining research preview called HydraFusion, and GPT-6.1 Sol, and its review capability is now callable through the API.

Teable changed its economics and its consent model. Free workspaces moved from 200 monthly credits to a one-time 200-credit award, agents gained model tiers, and the iOS app now requires AI data-processing consent. Cost and consent are arriving with agent features.

Double made Connectors available to all users. Its assistant can now pull from Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Google and any MCP server, which turns a QuickBooks-centered practice tool into a hub for the rest of the accountant's stack.

Wiki.js kept the 3.0 beta moving: blog pages, native comments and an AsciiDoc editor, then Excalidraw with live collaboration and SCIM provisioning. It is still labeled not for production, while the 2.x line receives only security patches. A second entry for the same project, Wiki.js, shows the same releases.

Wildcards

Koofr rebuilt its iOS app with native Files integration and background photo backup, and also published an incident report on a recent DDoS attack. Availability, not features, framed its week.

SiYuan is becoming an agent host for notes. Its 3.8.6 cycle added OAuth 2.1 to the built-in MCP server and workspace AGENTS.md instructions, and 3.8.7 alphas added AI OCR in the image menu and database automations.

Themes that compounded

  • Agents were given standing instructions or permissions at SiYuan and Asana, where automation rules now run with their owner's current permissions.
  • MCP connections became settings pages: Hive reorganized Connections and Access for MCP and API integrations.
  • Models changed under the hood at Readwise, where GPT-6 Luna became the default for summaries and tagging.
  • Documentation products courted agent readers: Document360 added llms.txt generation and MCP tools.
  • Data exposure became a product feature at Skedda, which opened a read-only API beta for booking data, and at Mattermost, which shipped a data spillage exposure radius report.

Watch this week

Watch whether Teable's consent gate and credit changes are echoed by other agent-heavy products, since Teable ships nearly daily and has just changed both. Watch the Wiki.js 3 beta cadence, which has produced a new build every few days, and Mattermost's v12.0, whose breaking changes the company has confirmed are coming.
