Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.

field data collectiongpsmcpmobileai assistant
◆Current state
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.
◆Where it's heading
Two tracks continue: precision GPS for field crews, with external receivers and accuracy settings, and controlled access for outside AI assistants through the MCP server. Most releases are fixes on a weekly mobile and web cadence.
◆Prediction
Expect the GPS integration to leave beta and the MCP server to move past alpha with OAuth as the default sign-in.
