Bludit vs Metricool: at a glance
What is Bludit?
A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
Bludit ships every few weeks, and almost every release carries a security fix: an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload in 3.18.4, an authenticated RCE via file upload plus .htaccess bypass in 3.20.0, a path traversal in the API files endpoint in 3.21.0, and session invalidation for disabled users in 3.22.0. Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
What is Metricool?
The feed is a content-marketing engine, not a changelog.
Every recent entry is a marketing blog post rather than a product release: 153 YouTube video ideas, a 2026 YouTube study drawn from Metricool's own dataset, a buyer's guide to social media schedulers, Shorts tactics, whether Facebook Groups still work, what AI social tools actually do. Several were published within minutes of each other, which is the signature of a batch content publish rather than shipping. Nothing in this window describes a change to Metricool itself.

Bludit
0.0MARKETING
A flat-file CMS with a long CVE history just wired its API up for MCP.
◆ Current state
Bludit ships every few weeks, and almost every release carries a security fix: an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload in 3.18.4, an authenticated RCE via file upload plus .htaccess bypass in 3.20.0, a path traversal in the API files endpoint in 3.21.0, and session invalidation for disabled users in 3.22.0. Around that, the work is editor and dashboard maintenance, theme additions and a plugin hook for injecting editor toolbar buttons.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel. One is a sustained security cleanup, largely driven by external reports and handled release by release. The other is a quiet repositioning of the API: 3.22.0 improved it specifically to support MCP, which points a file-based CMS at agent-driven authoring. The plugin hook work in 3.20.0 fits the same pattern of opening the editor to programmatic control.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP-facing API work to continue — the initial support arrived as API improvements rather than a documented server, which is the piece still missing.
Metricool
5.0MARKETING
The feed is a content-marketing engine, not a changelog.
◆ Current state
Every recent entry is a marketing blog post rather than a product release: 153 YouTube video ideas, a 2026 YouTube study drawn from Metricool's own dataset, a buyer's guide to social media schedulers, Shorts tactics, whether Facebook Groups still work, what AI social tools actually do. Several were published within minutes of each other, which is the signature of a batch content publish rather than shipping. Nothing in this window describes a change to Metricool itself.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing pattern is search-driven: year-stamped titles, competitive comparison framings, and repeated coverage of whichever platform surface is currently drawing attention — YouTube accounts for three of the six most recent posts. The one thing separating this feed from generic SEO output is the original research: the 2026 study covers 799,718 videos across 71,177 accounts, data only a scheduling tool sitting on that many accounts could produce. Metricool's own product changes, whatever they are, are not announced here.
◆ Prediction
Expect the same rhythm of batched SEO posts tracking platform algorithm changes and agency pain points, with the annual platform studies as the recurring anchor pieces. Product news will have to come from a different source than this feed.
