Nextcloud MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem continues to grow, and I’m excited to introduce the new Nextcloud MCP server! This server bridges the gap between your development environment and your Nextcloud instance, specifically targeting the powerful Notes app.

What is MCP?

For those unfamiliar, MCP allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cline to interact with local tools and resources securely. It’s becoming the defacto standard of integrating third-party systems into Large Language Models (LLMs). MCP servers enable developers to automate tasks, access data, and integrate various services directly into their AI applications.

Nextcloud Notes Integration

The Nextcloud MCP server leverages the Nextcloud Notes API to provide tools for managing your notes directly from your development environment. This means you can:

• Create new notes: Quickly jot down ideas, code snippets, or task lists without leaving your editor.

• Read existing notes: Access information stored in your Nextcloud Notes.

• Update notes: Modify and add content to your notes programmatically.

• Delete notes: Clean up notes that are no longer needed.

The Nextcloud API client enables using etags to prevent logs updates and conflict resolution

Example Use Cases

Imagine you're debugging a complex issue. You can use the Nextcloud MCP server to:

1. Create a new note titled "Debugging Issue XYZ".

2. Log findings, error messages, and potential solutions directly into the note content.

3. Access this note later from any device using the Nextcloud Notes app or web interface.

Or, perhaps you're planning a new feature:

1. Create a note outlining the feature requirements and tasks.

2. Update the note with progress as you work through the implementation.

Cline can be setup to check the notes before and after completing any task to accumulate knowledge about things that would otherwise have been forgotten.

Conclusion

The Nextcloud MCP server offers a convenient way to integrate note-taking into your development process, keeping your thoughts and project details organized within your trusted Nextcloud environment. We believe this will be a valuable addition for developers using Nextcloud.
