The week in project-management

Project tools are exposing themselves to outside AI through MCP while also building agents inside. Nifty ships an MCP server with read access to projects, tasks and docs, Birdview PSA added an MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude, Fibery added MCP code execution, and Hive opened Custom Apps to agents.

The workflow-and-agents platforms matured as well: Tracecat 1.3 went stable with agents that run for hours.

Leaders

Tracecat 1.3.0 raises the default agent timeout to two hours with a three-hour ceiling, lets operators steer a running agent, and reaches private networks through tunnels. It also rebuilds case search.

Fibery had three sparks: custom apps as entity views, suggestion mode for rich text, and AI-built custom integrations in preview alongside an MCP server that can execute code.

Asana Tables is live on Advanced, Enterprise and Enterprise+, letting teams build tables from a project or CSV so vendor and asset records sit next to tasks, where AI Teammates can read them.

SmartSuite launched Script Engine, an admin page for creating, scheduling and monitoring workspace JavaScript, and moved integrations to workspace-owned service accounts with least-privilege scopes.

Hive edits PDF text in place and lets agents apply proof feedback as a new version, and added conditional custom fields.

Wildcards

Redmine 7.0.0 shipped 122 issues, with webhook triggers, a full Rails 8 migration and improved RTL support. 7.0.2 patched three security flaws.

RentRedi turned on-time rent into a portable Tenant Certificate renters can send to a next landlord.

Atarim made its AI agents' memory readable and editable, and its 5.1 notes cite about 40% cheaper AI actions with no charge for failed turns.

Themes that compounded

  • MCP as the integration path in Nifty, Birdview, Fibery and Hive.
  • Agent oversight through steering (Tracecat) and visible memory (Atarim).
  • Identity and access controls: SmartSuite service accounts and Tracecat passkey sign-in.
  • Camunda carried variable metadata over gRPC, REST and MCP in its 8.11 alpha candidates.

Watch this week

Watch for Tracecat 1.3 patch releases and for Fibery to move MCP creation from the planned stage into release, given the AI connector beta already went free. Camunda is cutting alpha candidates for 8.11 in quick succession, so a further candidate is likely.
