Frequently asked questions
How do I create a public share link for a specific folder?
Use the create_share tool. Provide the path to your folder and set shareType to 3 (Public Link). You can also optionally set a password for added security.
Can I change my online status message using the AI?
Yes! You can use set_user_status to change your availability (e.g., 'dnd', 'away') and set_user_status_message to set a custom text and emoji icon.
Is it possible to see which apps are enabled on my Nextcloud server?
Absolutely. Use the get_capabilities tool to retrieve a full list of server features, version information, and all currently enabled applications.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
