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.
What is Velociraptor?
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

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.
Velociraptor
0.0INFRA · APIS
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
◆ Current state
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.
◆ Where it's heading
Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
