Graph Architecture

This agent uses pydantic-graph orchestration for intelligent routing and optimal context management.

  [*] --> RouterNode: User Query
  RouterNode --> DomainNode: Classified Domain
  RouterNode --> [*]: Low confidence / Error
  DomainNode --> [*]: Domain Result

• RouterNode: A fast, lightweight LLM (e.g., nvidia/nemotron-3-super) that classifies the user's query into one of the specialized domains.
• DomainNode: The executor node. For the selected domain, it dynamically sets environment variables to temporarily enable ONLY the tools relevant to that domain, creating a highly focused sub-agent (e.g., gpt-4o) to complete the request. This preserves LLM context and prevents tool hallucination.

Examples

Run A2A Server

nextcloud-agent --provider openai --model-id gpt-4 --api-key sk-... --mcp-url http://localhost:8016/mcp

Run with Docker

docker run -e CMD=nextcloud-agent -p 9016:9016 nextcloud-agent

Docker

Build

docker build -t nextcloud-agent .

Run MCP Server

docker run -p 8016:8016 nextcloud-agent

Run A2A Server

docker run -e CMD=nextcloud-agent -p 9016:9016 nextcloud-agent

Deploy MCP Server as a Service

The Nextcloud MCP server can be deployed using Docker, with configurable authentication, middleware, and Eunomia authorization.

Using Docker Run

docker pull knucklessg1/nextcloud-agent:latest

docker run -d \
  --name nextcloud-agent \
  -p 8016:8016 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8016 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=none \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=none \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://cloud.example.com \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=user \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=pass \
  knucklessg1/nextcloud-agent:latest

For advanced authentication (e.g., JWT, OAuth Proxy, OIDC Proxy, Remote OAuth) or Eunomia, add the relevant environment variables:

docker run -d \
  --name nextcloud-agent \
  -p 8016:8016 \
  -e HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -e PORT=8016 \
  -e TRANSPORT=http \
  -e AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy \
  -e OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -e OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com \
  -e ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/* \
  -e EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded \
  -e EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://cloud.example.com \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=user \
  -e NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=pass \
  knucklessg1/nextcloud-agent:latest

Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  nextcloud-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/nextcloud-agent:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8016
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=none
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=none
      - NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://cloud.example.com
      - NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=user
      - NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=pass
    ports:
      - 8016:8016

For advanced setups with authentication and Eunomia:

services:
  nextcloud-mcp:
    image: knucklessg1/nextcloud-agent:latest
    environment:
      - HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PORT=8016
      - TRANSPORT=http
      - AUTH_TYPE=oidc-proxy
      - OIDC_CONFIG_URL=https://provider.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
      - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
      - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
      - OIDC_BASE_URL=https://your-server.com
      - ALLOWED_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URIS=http://localhost:*,https://*.example.com/*
      - EUNOMIA_TYPE=embedded
      - EUNOMIA_POLICY_FILE=/app/mcp_policies.json
      - NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://cloud.example.com
      - NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=user
      - NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=pass
    ports:
      - 8016:8016
    volumes:
      - ./mcp_policies.json:/app/mcp_policies.json

Run the service:

docker-compose up -d
