What is ClickUp?

ClickUp folds MCP into Super Agents, wiring outside tools into its AI coworker

ClickUp's recent shipping is dominated by Brain² and Super Agents: the Brain² takeover release enumerated artifact generation, model routing and memory, and Release Notes 4.07 extended MCP server connections to Super Agents while scoping Custom Fields by task type. The newest entry is smaller and commercial rather than functional — PayPal is rolling out as an additional payment option in India, explicitly not a pricing change, with other markets to follow. Classic project-management work like Gantt Baselines continues underneath the AI releases.

What is Fibery?

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

ClickUp vs Fibery: editorial side-by-side

C5.0

ClickUp folds MCP into Super Agents, wiring outside tools into its AI coworker

◆ Current state

ClickUp's recent shipping is dominated by Brain² and Super Agents: the Brain² takeover release enumerated artifact generation, model routing and memory, and Release Notes 4.07 extended MCP server connections to Super Agents while scoping Custom Fields by task type. The newest entry is smaller and commercial rather than functional — PayPal is rolling out as an additional payment option in India, explicitly not a pricing change, with other markets to follow. Classic project-management work like Gantt Baselines continues underneath the AI releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is from work-management app to AI work-execution platform, and the recent releases are about widening what the agents can reach rather than announcing new agents. Connecting any publicly hosted MCP server to Super Agents is the clearest expression of that: ClickUp is content to be the place agents run, not the place every tool lives. The payment-option work is a reminder that the same period includes ordinary commercial plumbing aimed at growth markets.

◆ Prediction

Expect the PayPal rollout to expand country by country as stated, and the MCP surface to keep absorbing capability that would previously have shipped as a named ClickUp integration. Nothing in these entries indicates a change to how Brain² is priced.

F6.3

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

◆ Current state

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

◆ Where it's heading

Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.

◆ Prediction

The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.
