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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Our experts are happy to answer any questions you may have.

The MCP-Server runs exclusively in our German data centers, colocated at noris network AG in Nuremberg. The server acts as an interface: files themselves are never transmitted to third parties or stored permanently in any AI model.
All data remains inside the SecureCloud infrastructure. Tenant separation via the existing SecureCloud multi-tenant model, automatic scaling, no user-count limit. GDPR-compliant by construction, no CLOUD Act risk, no FISA exposure - even when AI assistants do the work.
Ask your AI to summarize a document and create a share-link for a colleague - in one sentence. Find files in deep folder structures with a single natural-language query. Onboard new team members with one prompt. Time spent on file-related tasks drops by up to 90 percent (typical example: 25-30 minutes manual versus 2-3 minutes via MCP). Productivity that fits how you work, not how the tool was designed.

Yes. The MCP-Server runs exclusively in German data centers, files never leave the SecureCloud infrastructure, and nothing is permanently stored inside the AI model. There is no third-country transfer, no CLOUD Act exposure and no FISA risk. AI integration becomes a GDPR-compliant workflow without additional data-processing agreements or contractual workarounds. Authentication runs over revocable API tokens generated in your SecureCloud profile - no password is ever handed to the AI. The existing SecureCloud permission model applies in full: the AI sees only what the user is already authorized to see.
Yes. The MCP-Server is built on the open Model Context Protocol from Anthropic, which any MCP-compatible AI tool can speak. European models with active MCP support include Mistral Le Chat and Aleph Alpha; international options include Claude from Anthropic and ChatGPT from OpenAI. There is no proprietary protocol and no vendor lock-in on the AI side, so you can change AI providers later without rewiring the integration. Choosing a European AI model on top of SecureCloud gives you a fully European AI-plus-storage stack with no US dependency anywhere in the chain.
Law firms point their AI assistant at the SecureCloud MCP-Server, which fetches files from the firm's SecureCloud storage on demand. Files never leave the German data center and are never persisted inside the AI model. Professional confidentiality obligations remain intact because the data does not enter third-party infrastructure or a US jurisdiction. The AI sees only what the assigned lawyer would see through the normal interface, so case-file segregation is preserved. Combined with audit logging on every access, the setup satisfies both GDPR and German professional-secrecy requirements while delivering modern AI productivity.
IT teams expose AI productivity through one controlled channel - the MCP-Server - rather than allowing employees to paste sensitive files into uncontrolled AI tools (shadow AI). Token-based authentication means each user's AI access can be revoked individually. The existing SecureCloud permission model carries over without modification, so the AI cannot see anything the user could not already see. NIS2 and DORA access-management requirements are addressed by the same logging and authorization infrastructure that already covers human access. There is no parallel permission system to maintain.
Connect the AI assistant once to the SecureCloud MCP-Server, then operate by natural language. Examples: "Summarize the latest status report in the Project folder and create a share-link for Thomas." "Which files in the project folder are older than six months and have not been opened since?" "Add Anna Mueller to the Project Alpha group and give her access to the Customer Documentation folder." The AI reads, writes, organizes and shares files directly inside SecureCloud, with no manual download-upload cycle. Typical time savings on file-related tasks are around 90 percent.
The same audit-logging infrastructure that covers normal SecureCloud access also covers MCP-driven access. Every read, write, share-link creation, permission change and admin action by the AI - acting on behalf of a specific user with a specific token - appears in the centralized log with timestamp, user, action and outcome. Compliance teams produce GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIS2 evidence by filtering the same log they already use for human access. There is no separate AI-audit pipeline to build or maintain. The token mechanism guarantees that every AI action is traceable to an identifiable human actor.
Yes. The MCP-Server is compatible with every AI tool that speaks the Model Context Protocol. Confirmed-supported models include Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Mistral Le Chat and Aleph Alpha. As MCP adoption grows across the AI ecosystem, additional assistants become compatible automatically without changes on the SecureCloud side. The protocol is an open Anthropic standard published in November 2024, not a proprietary integration, so there is no vendor lock-in on the AI side. You can switch your team's AI assistant without re-implementing the SecureCloud connection.
In three steps, typically under five minutes. First, generate a personal API token in your SecureCloud profile (revocable at any time). Second, paste the MCP-Server URL (support.securecloud.de/mcp) into your AI tool's MCP configuration. Third, confirm the connection - the AI assistant can now access your SecureCloud storage within the permissions of your account. No software installation, no infrastructure project, no extra licensing. The MCP-Server is available without additional cost for every SecureCloud user.
