SiYuan vs Wiki.js
A side-by-side editorial comparison of SiYuan and Wiki.js — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
SiYuan vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is SiYuan?
SiYuan 3.8.10 moves from beta to a third release candidate in two days.
SiYuan pushed 3.8.10 through five betas and three release candidates between Nov 7 and Nov 9, all with the same list of about 26 changes. The only addition after the alphas was compatibility filtering and first-release sorting in the bazaar package marketplace. The release carries workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates, a built-in Markdown editor, custom PDF page sizes and better LAN sync on VPN setups.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

SiYuan 3.8.10 moves from beta to a third release candidate in two days.
◆ Current state
SiYuan pushed 3.8.10 through five betas and three release candidates between Nov 7 and Nov 9, all with the same list of about 26 changes. The only addition after the alphas was compatibility filtering and first-release sorting in the bazaar package marketplace. The release carries workspace-level AI memory, database sub-items, HTTP requests in templates, a built-in Markdown editor, custom PDF page sizes and better LAN sync on VPN setups.
◆ Where it's heading
The cycle is ending: notes have been frozen since beta.1, and the RCs are fix-only builds. The release mixes AI-agent groundwork with database and mobile polish, the same balance as the 3.8 line so far.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.8.10 stable within days, then a 3.8.11 alpha line.
Wiki.js
6.3COLLAB
Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.
◆ Where it's heading
Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
