What is Hoppscotch?
Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. The October release is quieter: the desktop app honors the operating system's trust store, self-host deployments ship with hardened default secrets, and dependencies are patched.
What is SavvyCal?
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

Hoppscotch
2.5INFRA · APIS
Hoppscotch adds an enterprise cloud tier and an AI assistant, then turns to desktop trust.
◆ Current state
Hoppscotch's September release introduced Enterprise Cloud, a tier with IAM, SSO, audit logs and dedicated support, and an AI Assistant for Enterprise Self-Host that can edit and run requests, manage collections and publish documentation. The October release is quieter: the desktop app honors the operating system's trust store, self-host deployments ship with hardened default secrets, and dependencies are patched.
◆ Where it's heading
After August's unified workspace, the visible direction is commercial. New capability is arriving in enterprise editions, and two patch releases in September were enterprise-only or version syncs with no Community Edition change. The October work on corporate CAs and default secrets suits the same buyer, because both are problems that show up inside managed networks.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI Assistant to expand from Enterprise Self-Host toward Enterprise Cloud, since both now exist. Whether any of it reaches the Community Edition is not stated in these notes.
SavvyCal
2.5INFRA · APIS
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
◆ Current state
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.
◆ Where it's heading
For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.
