About nextcloud-organizer-mcp

nextcloud-organizer-mcp is a self-hosted MCP server for Claude and Nextcloud users to manage tasks, calendar events, and Notes. It accesses data through CalDAV and the Notes REST API, and combines calendar events with due tasks in an agenda.

Key features

  1. 01Manage tasks, reminders, subtasks, and recurrence
  2. 02Create calendar events and manage RSVPs
  3. 03Turn tasks into linked calendar time blocks
  4. 04Create and edit sections in Notes
  5. 05Combine events and due tasks in an agenda
  6. 06Protect access with OAuth 2.1

Use cases

  1. 01Add tasks with deadlines and reminders
  2. 02Schedule recurring meetings or calendar blocks
  3. 03Reserve linked calendar time for a task
  4. 04Review daily events and due tasks

MCP support

The server exposes 51 Nextcloud tools to MCP clients over Streamable HTTP and uses OAuth 2.1; its tools access Nextcloud through CalDAV and the Notes REST API.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

NEXTCLOUD_USERNAMENextcloud username.
NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORDSecretNextcloud app password (Settings > Security > Devices & sessions), never the account password.
PUBLIC_BASE_URLThe exact public URL clients use to reach this server; required for the OAuth 2.1 flow.

Let Claude run your Nextcloud tasks, calendar and notes.
A self-hosted MCP server for CalDAV tasks, events and the Notes app.

PyPI CI Python 3.10+ MIT license

A scripted client creating a task, a recurring event and a time block, then reading the day's agenda
Real tool calls against a real Nextcloud · watch as video

Ask in plain language, and your own Nextcloud changes. No copy-paste, no third-party calendar service: the data stays on your server and the tools talk to it over standard CalDAV and the Notes REST API.

What you can say

You sayWhat happens
"Add a high-priority task: finish the Q4 report by Thursday 5pm, remind me 2 hours before."create_task with due date, priority and a VALARM reminder
"Add a weekly team sync, Mondays 10:00."create_event with an RRULE
"Block Thursday 9-11 for the report."create_event_from_task — a linked time block, task and event stay connected
"What does my Thursday look like?"get_agenda — events (recurring ones expanded) and due tasks in one answer
"Start a note for the Q4 report, then update just the status section."create_note, update_note_section

What Claude wrote shows up in the normal Nextcloud apps, immediately:

Nextcloud Calendar showing the 9-11 time block and the task deadline

Nextcloud Tasks showing the high-priority task with its tag and due date

Nextcloud Notes showing the note after a single-section update

Features

  • Tasks (VTODO): priorities, tags, reminders, subtasks, recurrence with exception dates, four-state status, batch update/delete/move.
  • Calendars and events (VEVENT): recurring events, attendees and RSVP, free/busy, sharing, ICS import/export, birthdays, batch operations, trash bin.
  • Timeboxing: turn a task into a calendar block and keep both linked.
  • Notes: create, search, append, replace a passage or a single Markdown section.
  • Combined day agenda: events and due tasks together.
  • Safe by default: OAuth 2.1 with a password consent page, https:// enforced for Nextcloud, clean error messages instead of stack traces.
  • 51 tools in total, documented in the tool reference.

Compatibility

ClientStatus
Claude (claude.ai web) as a custom connectorSupported, connector and consent flow tested against claude.ai
Claude mobile and CoworkUse the same connector as web; not tested separately
Claude Desktop via mcp-remoteDocumented in the deployment guide
Other MCP clients and model providersNot tested yet, planned

The server speaks standard Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth 2.1 (Dynamic Client Registration + PKCE), so other clients may work. The OAuth redirect allow-list defaults to claude.ai and claude.com; other clients need MCP_OAUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECT_DOMAINS set. Reports from other clients are welcome.

Quick start

Requires Python 3.10+ and a Nextcloud with the Calendar/Tasks and Notes apps.

uv tool install nextcloud-organizer-mcp   # or: pipx install nextcloud-organizer-mcp

Create an app password under Settings → Security → Devices & sessions (never your account password), then set:

export NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://cloud.example.com
export NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=your-username
export NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD=your-app-password
export PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://your-host.ts.net   # the URL clients use
export MCP_OAUTH_PASSWORD=a-long-random-password  # required unless local

nextcloud-organizer-mcp     # listens on 127.0.0.1:8000, path /mcp

From a checkout instead: uv sync && cp .env.example .env, edit .env, then uv run nextcloud-organizer-mcp. Every setting is documented in .env.example. NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL must be https:// unless it points at a local address.

Then expose the server (the deployment guide uses Tailscale Funnel for TLS) and add it in Claude under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector with the URL <PUBLIC_BASE_URL>/mcp. Leave Client ID and Secret blank and enter your MCP_OAUTH_PASSWORD on the consent page that opens. Details: Authentication.

How it works

Claude ── HTTPS + OAuth 2.1 ──► your server (this project) ── CalDAV / Notes API ──► Nextcloud
  • One CalDAV connection is opened at startup and reused for every request.
  • No tool or CalDAV logic runs until a request carries a valid access token.
  • The server binds to a local HTTP port and does not handle TLS itself.
  • Timestamps use MCP_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE (default Europe/Berlin); naive inputs are interpreted in it.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
