Zoho Cliq's latest post makes the case for WCAG accessibility after its MCP tools launch.

zoho-suitedeveloper-platformmcpaccessibilitymeetings
◆Current state
Cliq 7.0 shipped in August with AI summarisation, a developer platform refresh and Cliq Mini across Zoho apps. September added reworked guest access, Cliq Rooms on Neat hardware and per-role subscription plans, and October brought MCP tools so automations can be written with an AI coding assistant. The newest post argues that Cliq's WCAG compliance makes it usable for employees with disabilities, without announcing anything new.
◆Where it's heading
Cliq is spreading in two directions: outward into meeting rooms and other Zoho apps, and toward developers through its platform and MCP tools. Recent posts lean on positioning rather than releases.
◆Prediction
It is unclear from these entries what ships next; a follow-up on the MCP tools or another 7.x feature post is most likely.

    Vibe code your automations with Cliq platform MCP tools

    Cliq's developer platform now has MCP tools, so an AI coding assistant can write, wire and debug Cliq automations instead of a developer scripting handlers by hand. It continues 7.0's push to cut the effort of building bots, now pointed at agent-written code. The post is a teaser, so the scope of the tools isn't spelled out yet.
