AI gets
sovereign

The SecureCloud MCP-Server connects AI assistants directly to your SecureCloud storage. Search, share and manage files automatically, via natural language - without the file ever leaving sovereign infrastructure.

What is the Model Context Protocol?
The open standard for AI tool integration

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open communication standard, published by Anthropic in November 2024, that lets AI assistants connect to external systems - file storage, databases, applications - through a single uniform interface. Before MCP, every AI vendor built proprietary plug-in formats; switching from one assistant to another meant re-engineering every integration.

MCP solves that fragmentation: any MCP-compatible AI tool can speak to any MCP-compatible server. An MCP server exposes resources (the data the AI can read), tools (the actions the AI can perform on the user's behalf) and prompts (parameterized templates), all wrapped in token-based authentication.

Adoption is moving fast: Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral Le Chat and Aleph Alpha already speak MCP natively. Gartner forecasts that by 2027 more than 50 percent of enterprise software will be operated through AI-driven interfaces.

MCP-Server
vs alternatives

US hyperscaler AI integrations
Microsoft Copilot for Files, Google Gemini in Drive

Out-of-the-box integration if you already operate on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, but the data flows through the same hyperscaler ecosystem - CLOUD Act and FISA-702 apply unchanged. Pricing adds approximately 30 EUR per user per month on top of the base productivity suite.

The AI vendor is locked to the hyperscaler: Copilot only works with Microsoft AI, Gemini only with Google AI - no model choice. Permission inheritance from the underlying storage is opaque, and audit logging for AI access typically lives in a separate admin surface.

Self-built MCP integrations
Nextcloud gateway, custom code

Full control over the implementation, but with significant engineering cost: designing the API surface, building token management, mapping the storage permission model to the MCP layer, instrumenting audit logs for AI-side events, maintaining all of it over time.

Regulated industries also have to demonstrate compliance for the self-built layer, not just the underlying storage. The path works for organizations with dedicated platform-engineering capacity - rarely for mid-sized companies.

SecureCloud
MCP-Server

Built on the open Model Context Protocol - compatible with European AI models (Mistral Le Chat, Aleph Alpha) and international ones (Claude, ChatGPT) alike, with free choice of provider. Hosted exclusively in Germany; files never leave SecureCloud infrastructure.

The existing SecureCloud permission model carries over 1:1, with no parallel rights management to maintain. The same audit log that already covers human access also covers AI access. Included without additional cost for every SecureCloud customer; setup in under five minutes.

For regulated industries that need AI productivity without losing data control, the SecureCloud MCP-Server is the only option that combines an open standard, German hosting and zero operational burden.

for your content cloud

Eliminate the copy-paste break
between AI tools and files

Companies use AI assistants for text, analysis and research - but the moment own files are involved, the manual copy-paste begins. Download the document, upload it to the AI, copy the result back. This media break costs time and creates security risks when sensitive files travel through unsafe intermediate steps.

The SecureCloud MCP-Server eliminates the break entirely: your AI assistant works directly with your SecureCloud storage, with the existing permission model fully preserved.

Effective risk prevention
for AI-driven file workflows

AI integrations from US hyperscalers (Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini) come with CLOUD Act exposure, hyperscaler-ecosystem lock-in and ~30 EUR per user per month of extra licensing cost. Regulated industries - legal, tax, healthcare, public sector - cannot deploy AI tools productively because secure access to company files is missing.

European AI providers like Mistral AI and Aleph Alpha increasingly support the Model Context Protocol, and the demand for sovereign backends is growing. NIS2, DORA and GDPR all require traceable access control, and that requirement extends to AI-driven file usage.

The SecureCloud MCP-Server closes the gap: AI productivity inside compliance.

Sovereign AI access
‍‍‍
for every file operation

Our solution:
open standard, full sovereignty

The SecureCloud MCP-Server is built on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard for AI tool integration published by Anthropic in November 2024. It works with European AI models (Mistral Le Chat, Aleph Alpha) and international ones (Claude, ChatGPT) alike.

The existing SecureCloud permission model carries over 1:1: the AI sees only what the user could already see through the normal interface. Setup takes minutes, costs nothing extra, and is available immediately for every SecureCloud customer.

  • Highest security: Token-based authentication, existing permission model enforced end-to-end for AI access, no file transmission to AI providers and no permanent storage in any AI model. ISO 27001 certification and BSI C5 attestation cover the MCP interface unchanged.
  • GDPR compliance: Files never leave the SecureCloud infrastructure in Germany. No CLOUD Act, no FISA, no third-country transfer. AI integration without additional data-processing agreements or contractual workarounds.
  • Open standard: Built on the Model Context Protocol from Anthropic. Compatible with European AI models (Mistral, Aleph Alpha) and international ones (Claude, ChatGPT) alike. No proprietary protocol, no vendor lock-in on the AI side.
  • Ease of use: Generate an API token in your SecureCloud profile, paste the MCP-Server URL into your AI tool, confirm the connection. Setup in under five minutes. Included at no additional cost for every SecureCloud user.

Built for knowledge workers
and regulated industries!

  • Knowledge workers: in companies with sensitive data, replacing manual copy-paste with natural-language workflows.
  • IT teams: enabling AI productivity without losing data control or building shadow-AI risk.
  • Compliance and security teams: managing AI integration risk with one controlled, audit-logged channel.
  • Law firms, tax advisories and consultancies: bound by confidentiality obligations and professional secrecy.
  • ... and regulated industries: healthcare, financial services, public sector.

Typical use cases for the MCP-Server:AI productivity directly on your SecureCloud storage

Language-based file management: AI moves files for you

Search, download, upload, rename, move or delete files - via natural language. Example: "Move the contract draft from the Drafts folder to Final Versions." The AI assistant calls the MCP-Server, the MCP-Server checks SecureCloud permissions and executes the action.

No manual download-upload cycle, no file detours on local drives or in chat windows. The file never leaves the German SecureCloud data center.

Typical time savings on file-related tasks: around 90 percent (example: 25-30 minutes manual vs. 2-3 minutes with MCP).

Intelligent folder navigation: AI understands your folder structure

The AI reads folder structures, searches files and summarizes contents. Instead of clicking through nested directories: "Which files in the project folder were changed this week?" or "Which contracts are older than six months?"

Natural-language search replaces complex filters and manual list maintenance. Audit log and permission model apply unchanged: the AI sees only what the user is already authorized to see.

Especially valuable for large knowledge stores in legal, tax advisory, healthcare and public sector contexts, where case files or patient data are structured.

Share-link control: Create links via language

Create share links, manage access rights, generate upload links - all from the AI tool. Example: "Create a password-protected download link for the quarterly figures and set the expiry to Friday."

The MCP-Server carries the existing SecureCloud permission model 1:1 over to the AI interface. External recipients don't need a SecureCloud account. Audit logs capture every share event for full audit-readiness.

Relevant for every function that regularly sends files to external partners: sales, marketing, consulting, accounting. NIS2 and DORA compliance are covered by the same audit log.

Team administration: Groups and permissions via language

Create groups, add or remove members, share folders for teams - without switching systems. Example: "Add Anna Mueller to the Project Alpha group and grant her access to the Customer Documentation folder."

The AI acts on behalf of the logged-in user, with that user's permissions. The existing SecureCloud permission model and audit logging apply unchanged; no parallel rights management to maintain.

Onboarding and offboarding new team members takes seconds rather than minutes. Especially relevant for project work, consulting engagements and fast-growing teams.

Built on the open
Model Context Protocol!

Cloud-native, fully managed,
setup in five minutes

The SecureCloud MCP-Server speaks the Model Context Protocol natively. Cloud-native, fully managed, no on-prem operation required from the customer. Authentication runs over personal API tokens that you generate in your SecureCloud profile and revoke at any time - no password is ever handed to the AI.

Available actions span the full SecureCloud feature set: files (search, upload, download, rename, move, delete), folders (create, read, reorganize), shares (links with password protection, expiry dates, upload rights), teams (groups, members, permissions). Multi-tenant by design, automatic scaling, no user limit.
