Kit (formerly ConvertKit) vs Pimcore: at a glance
What is Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?
Kit handed page-building to an agent, then went back to cleaning up the subscribers list
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.
What is Pimcore?
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.

◆ Current state
The Kit MCP crossing from reading a creator's list to building and editing landing pages remains the defining recent release. Since then the work has been ordinary interface repair on the subscriber surface: the Subscribers page was reorganised around search and filtering, and bulk actions became a floating menu that follows the scroll instead of sitting at the top of the list. Creator Network connection requests and custom favicons round out the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The Kit MCP is the axis, and it has already made its jump — from read-and-analyze in May to producing the published artifact in July. What follows is consolidation: the manual surfaces are being tidied so the things an agent can do and the things a creator does by hand sit on comparable footing. Nothing in this window extends the MCP itself, which makes the current period a pause rather than a redirection.
◆ Prediction
Expect the MCP surface to extend to more of the artifacts Kit publishes now that landing pages have proven the pattern. The subscriber-page work reads as a finished cleanup rather than the start of a larger rebuild.
Pimcore
5.0MKT AUTO
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
◆ Current state
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.
