+New apps can be added by implementing the three interfaces and registering the implementations—no changes to core sync logic are required. Per-user settings stored in the backend database control which apps are actually indexed for each user (e.g., a user might enable notes and calendar but not deck or files).

+**Per-User App Enablement**: Which apps to index (notes, calendar, deck, files, contacts) is stored in the backend database on a per-user basis. Users control this via the `nc_enable_vector_sync` MCP tool, which can optionally specify which apps to enable. This allows different users to have different indexing preferences without requiring server-wide configuration.

 ### Docker Compose
 
 The simplified architecture requires only a single MCP server container:
