Nextcloud vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is Nextcloud?
Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.
Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

Nextcloud ships three patch lines in a day as 35.0.2 adds webhook metadata and a report API.
◆ Current state
Nextcloud released 35.0.2, 34.0.5 and 33.0.10 on the same day, a month after the 35.0.0 major that swapped OnlyOffice for Euro-Office and added FrankenPHP support. The backports share a security-flavored core: a CSRF token on the share-accept endpoint, upload checks against session and share tokens, and logs that no longer leak sensitive data. 35.0.2 also adds richer node-webhook metadata, webhook-compatible comment events and an API for system-report sections.
◆ Where it's heading
The patch stream is still dominated by sharing permissions, resharer caps and encryption cache fixes, now applied across three supported branches at once. The small additions in 35.0.2, webhooks and the 'Unified Sharing Legacy Sync' groundwork, point to sharing being rebuilt under the hood and to more automation hooks for integrators. The 35 line is absorbing regressions from the major at a steady monthly pace.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 35.0.3 within a month continuing sharing and encryption fixes, with more of the unified-sharing work surfacing; the entries do not say when that rework becomes user-visible.
Wiki.js

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
