Best for
  • Individuals or teams that need an assistant to search Google Drive documents and sheets
  • Knowledge workflows using cloud documents as grounded question-answering context
  • Users who want to integrate AI assistants (like Claude Desktop or IDEs) with a self-hosted Nextcloud instance.
  • Developers and power users who need deep CRUD operations across multiple Nextcloud apps.
  • Teams that prefer Docker or Kubernetes deployment.
Not for
  • Highly sensitive organizations that cannot allow model processing of Drive content
  • Administrative workflows requiring full edit, sharing, or deletion controls
  • Users who don't want to self-host (consider managed service Astrolabe Cloud).
  • Users who need only simple read-only access (this server is more comprehensive).
  • Users who require official support (it is not an official Nextcloud project).
Required permissions
  • Google Cloud OAuth client credentials
  • Read access to the target Drive files with the corresponding read-only OAuth scope
  • Requires a Nextcloud username and app password (or OAuth).
  • Read/write access to the selected Nextcloud apps (Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Files, etc.).
  • For semantic search, needs external services: Qdrant and Ollama (disabled by default).
Risks and side effects
  • Search results and document bodies may contain personal, customer, or internal data
  • Overbroad authorization can expose files unrelated to the intended workflow
  • Credential storage with app passwords may pose a security risk if exposed.
  • The server can access a user's full Nextcloud data, so proper access controls are necessary.
  • Experimental semantic search relies on external services, which may introduce security and privacy issues.
  • Tag-based exclusion (EXCLUDED_TAGS) depends on system tags to hide sensitive files, misconfiguration could expose data.
