What is the Nextcloud MCP Server?

Connect your Nextcloud instance to any AI agent and take full control of your self-hosted productivity suite through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • File & Folder Management — List, create, and delete files or folders within your Nextcloud storage directly from the chat.
  • Advanced Sharing — Create and manage shares for users, groups, or public links with custom permissions and passwords.
  • User & Admin Tools — List users (admin only), fetch detailed user profiles, and inspect server capabilities and enabled apps.
  • Presence & Status — Get or set your online status and custom status messages with emojis to keep your team informed.
  • Activity Tracking — Monitor recent activities and changes within your Nextcloud environment.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Nextcloud URL, Username, and App Password
  3. Start managing your cloud storage and collaboration tools from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Self-Hosters — Manage your personal cloud infrastructure without leaving your AI workspace.
  • Teams & Organizations — Quickly share documents and update statuses during collaborative sessions.
  • Developers — Inspect server capabilities and manage app passwords directly from your coding environment.

Why CrewAI?

When paired with CrewAI, Nextcloud becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Nextcloud tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.

  • Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools

  • CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the mcps parameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime

  • Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls

  • Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?

CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.

05

Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?

Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.

06

What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?

CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.

07

Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?

CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.

08

Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?

Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.

09

MCP tools not discovered

Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.

10

Agent not using tools

Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".

11

Timeout errors

CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.

12

Rate limiting or 429 errors

Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
