Process Street's blog buries the actual news: it has an MCP server
Process Street has repositioned from checklist software to a compliance operations platform, and the tracked feed is its marketing blog rather than release notes. Most entries are SEO content of varying vintage — sales onboarding templates, link-building tools, an old Airbnb growth piece — but the newest post is a practical guide to a Process Street MCP server that connects the platform to Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot Studio.
A time-blocking client spending its releases on calendar correctness and crash fixes
Akiflow's recent releases are stability-dominated. The May release resolved over 200 issues with dozens of crash fixes across desktop and mobile and added an in-app support widget for articles, feedback and chat. April brought calendar editing and recurring task work — RSVP behaving correctly across both single and future-event scopes — plus a mid-April release covering recurring events, a more accurate Aki, empty time-slot names falling back to project names, and a refreshed Linear integration setup. The feed duplicates each release two or three times.

Two threads run through the recent posts, and they converge. One is the compliance-operations repositioning, argued through pieces on continuous control monitoring replacing quarterly audits and on which processes should be automated versus kept human-driven. The other is agent access: an MCP server through which workflows are built, runs are managed, compliance is automated and reports are pulled by conversation. Together they describe a platform betting that governed, auditable processes are the thing worth exposing to a model.
The open question this content raises and does not answer is control — an MCP server that can start runs and pull compliance reports needs scoped permissions and an audit trail, so expect the next substantive move to be governance around agent access rather than more surface area.
Akiflow's recent releases are stability-dominated. The May release resolved over 200 issues with dozens of crash fixes across desktop and mobile and added an in-app support widget for articles, feedback and chat.

The feed duplicates each release two or three times.
The product is consolidating rather than expanding. Recurring events and RSVP scope handling are the hardest correctness problems in a calendar client, and fixing them repeatedly across consecutive releases says they were the top complaints. Adding in-app support alongside a 200-issue release is what a team does when it is trying to close the loop on reliability rather than ship features.
Expect the next releases to keep favoring reliability over surface, since three consecutive releases returned to calendar and recurrence correctness and no new capability appears in the window.
