How to Use the Nextcloud MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline automate Nextcloud file sharing during a build?

Yes, Cline runs createshare as part of its task execution sequence. It generates a public link (share type 3) for a build artifact and writes it to your documentation.

Q: How do I audit active Nextcloud links using Cline?

Ask Cline to audit your shares and it calls listshares. It analyzes the active links and uses deleteshare to clean up any public access points that are no longer needed.

Let Cline manage your Nextcloud files, shares, and user profiles directly from your VS Code workspace.

Perplexity

Write code and manage Nextcloud files in one workflow

The `list_files` tool lets Cline inspect your remote WebDAV directories directly from your editor. The agent reads this structure, locates files, and checks paths before writing code or deployment scripts. For asset creation, Cline calls `create_folder` and `delete_file` to structure your remote storage. It writes local components, runs tests, and updates Nextcloud without manual file transfers.

Configure Nextcloud share permissions inside Cline

The `create_share` tool gives Cline the ability to generate public links, user shares, and group permissions programmatically. The agent configures these shares on the fly, matching them to your project needs. To keep your storage secure, Cline runs `list_shares` to audit existing access points. It uses `update_share` and `delete_share` to adjust permissions or revoke links when your project requirements change.

Monitor Nextcloud activity and update your team status

The `list_activities` tool retrieves the live activity stream from your remote server. Cline reads this log to track recent file updates, collaborative edits, and system events, keeping you informed of remote changes. The agent also uses `set_user_status` and `set_user_status_message` to sync your availability with your active git branch or task. It reads your current profile details via `get_user` to ensure status updates target the correct account through this MCP Server.
