I'm working on a semantic layer for Nextcloud: https://astrolabecloud.com

The service is composed of two open-source services, namely a Nextcloud app (Astrolabe) and backend (nextcloud-mcp-server). I use the service as an MCP server across a number of apps, and others use it primarily for semantic search over large numbers of documents.

Both are open source, and I'm working on a managed offering, completely based in the EU, for individuals/teams that already use Nextcloud and want to be able to use semantic search across some or all of their documents.

Essentially your data stays in Nextcloud, and the MCP server backend keeps a vectordb in sync to enable semantic queries over your content. The number of supported apps is growing, including:

- notes

- deck cards

- files

- news items (RSS feeds)

- cookbook recipes

- contacts & calendar

And I'm adding support for other apps as I go.
