+### MCP Tool Annotations (ADR-017)
+
+**All tools MUST include annotations** following these patterns:
+
+```python
+from mcp.types import ToolAnnotations
+
+# Read-only tools (list, search, get)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Human Readable Name",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        readOnlyHint=True,
+        openWorldHint=True,  # Nextcloud is external to MCP server
+    ),
+)
+
+# Create operations
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Create Resource",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,  # Creates new resources each time
+        openWorldHint=True,
+    ),
+)
+
+# Update operations (with etag/version control)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Update Resource",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,  # ETag changes = different inputs
+        openWorldHint=True,
+    ),
+)
+
+# Delete operations
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Delete Resource",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        destructiveHint=True,   # Permanently deletes data
+        idempotentHint=True,    # Same end state if called repeatedly
+        openWorldHint=True,
+    ),
+)
+
+# HTTP PUT without version control (special case)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Write File",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=True,  # Same content = same end state
+        openWorldHint=True,
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+**Key Principles**:
+- **Idempotency**: Same inputs → same result. ETags change after updates, making them non-idempotent
+- **Destructive**: Operations that permanently delete/overwrite data
+- **Open World**: All Nextcloud tools access external service (openWorldHint=True)
+- **Titles**: Use human-readable names, not snake_case function names
+
+**See**: `docs/ADR-017-mcp-tool-annotations.md` for detailed rationale and examples

+
+## Version Management
+
+This monorepo uses commitizen for version management with **independent versioning** for three components:
+
+### Components
+
+| Component | Scope | Bump Command | Tag Example |
+|-----------|-------|--------------|-------------|
+| MCP Server | `mcp` or none | `./scripts/bump-mcp.sh` | `v0.54.0` |
+| Helm Chart | `helm` | `./scripts/bump-helm.sh` | `nextcloud-mcp-server-0.54.0` |
+| Astrolabe App | `astrolabe` | `./scripts/bump-astrolabe.sh` | `astrolabe-v0.2.0` |
+
+### Commit Message Format
+
+Use conventional commits with **scopes** to target specific components:
+
+```bash
+# MCP server changes
+feat(mcp): add calendar sync API
+fix(mcp): resolve authentication bug
+
+# Helm chart changes
+feat(helm): add resource limits
+docs(helm): update values documentation
+
+# Astrolabe app changes
+feat(astrolabe): add dark mode toggle
+fix(astrolabe): resolve search UI bug
+```
+
+**Unscoped commits** default to the MCP server:
+```bash
+feat: add new feature  # → MCP server (v0.54.0)
+```
+
+### Release Workflow
+
+#### 1. Make Changes with Scoped Commits
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "feat(astrolabe): add dark mode toggle"
+git commit -m "feat(helm): add ingress annotations"
+git commit -m "feat(mcp): add calendar sync"
+```
+
+#### 2. Bump Component Versions
+
+```bash
+# Bump MCP server (reads commits with scope=mcp or unscoped)
+./scripts/bump-mcp.sh
+# → Creates tag: v0.54.0
+# → Updates: pyproject.toml, Chart.yaml:appVersion
+
+# Bump Helm chart (reads commits with scope=helm)
+./scripts/bump-helm.sh
+# → Creates tag: nextcloud-mcp-server-0.54.0
+# → Updates: Chart.yaml:version
+
+# Bump Astrolabe (reads commits with scope=astrolabe)
+./scripts/bump-astrolabe.sh
+# → Creates tag: astrolabe-v0.2.0
+# → Updates: info.xml, package.json
+```
+
+#### 3. Push Tags
+
+```bash
+git push --follow-tags
+```
+
+### Changelog Filtering
+
+Each component maintains its own `CHANGELOG.md`:
+
+- **MCP Server**: `CHANGELOG.md` (root) - includes `feat(mcp):` and unscoped commits
+- **Helm Chart**: `charts/nextcloud-mcp-server/CHANGELOG.md` - includes `feat(helm):` only
+- **Astrolabe**: `third_party/astrolabe/CHANGELOG.md` - includes `feat(astrolabe):` only
+
+### Manual Version Bumps
+
+For specific increments:
+
+```bash
+# Patch bump (0.53.0 → 0.53.1)
+uv run cz bump --increment PATCH
+
+# Minor bump (0.53.0 → 0.54.0)
+uv run cz bump --increment MINOR
+
+# Major bump (0.53.0 → 1.0.0)
+uv run cz bump --increment MAJOR
+
+# For non-MCP components, use --config
+cd charts/nextcloud-mcp-server
+uv run cz --config .cz.toml bump --increment MINOR
+```
+
+### Versioning Philosophy
+
+- **MCP Server**: Follows PEP 440, `major_version_zero = true` (0.x.x for pre-1.0)
+- **Helm Chart**: Follows PEP 440, starts at 0.53.0 (continues from current)
+- **Astrolabe**: Follows PEP 440, `major_version_zero = true` (0.x.x for alpha/beta)
+
+### Chart.yaml Version vs appVersion
+
+The Helm chart has TWO version fields:
+
+- **`version`**: Chart packaging version (bumped by `feat(helm):`)
+  - Example: `0.53.0` → `0.54.0` when adding resource limits
+
+- **`appVersion`**: MCP server version being deployed (bumped by `feat(mcp):`)
+  - Example: `"0.53.0"` → `"0.54.0"` when MCP server releases
+
+This allows the chart to evolve independently from the application.

+Database Migrations for nextcloud-mcp-server
+============================================
+
+This directory contains Alembic database migrations for the token storage database.
+
+Structure
+---------
+- env.py: Alembic environment configuration
+- script.py.mako: Template for generating new migration files
+- versions/: Directory containing migration scripts
+
+Usage
+-----
+Migrations are managed via the CLI:
+
+    # Upgrade database to latest version
+    uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade
+
+    # Show current database version
+    uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current
+
+    # Show migration history
+    uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db history
+
+    # Create a new migration (developers only)
+    uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db migrate "description of changes"
+
+    # Downgrade database by one version (emergency use only)
+    uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade
+
+Direct Alembic Usage
+--------------------
+You can also use Alembic commands directly:
+
+    # Specify database URL via -x flag
+    uv run alembic -x database_url=sqlite+aiosqlite:////path/to/tokens.db upgrade head
+
+    # Or set in alembic.ini and run
+    uv run alembic upgrade head
+    uv run alembic current
+    uv run alembic history
+
+Writing Migrations
+------------------
+Since we don't use SQLAlchemy models, migrations are written with raw SQL:
+
+    def upgrade() -> None:
+        op.execute("""
+            ALTER TABLE refresh_tokens
+            ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT
+        """)
+
+    def downgrade() -> None:
+        # SQLite doesn't support DROP COLUMN, use table recreation
+        op.execute("""
+            CREATE TABLE refresh_tokens_new AS
+            SELECT user_id, encrypted_token, ... FROM refresh_tokens
+        """)
+        op.execute("DROP TABLE refresh_tokens")
+        op.execute("ALTER TABLE refresh_tokens_new RENAME TO refresh_tokens")
+
+Migration File Naming
+---------------------
+Format: YYYYMMDD_HHMM_<revision>_<slug>.py
+Example: 20251217_2200_001_initial_schema.py
+
+Notes
+-----
+- Migrations run automatically when RefreshTokenStorage.initialize() is called
+- Existing databases are automatically stamped with the initial version
+- SQLite has limited ALTER TABLE support - complex changes require table recreation

+# ADR-016: Smithery Stateless Deployment for Multi-User Public Nextcloud Instances
+
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Date:** 2025-01-22
+**Deciders:** Development Team
+**Related:** ADR-004 (OAuth), ADR-007 (Background Vector Sync), ADR-015 (Unified Provider)
+
+## Context
+
+[Smithery](https://smithery.ai) is a hosting platform and marketplace for MCP servers that provides:
+
+- **Discovery**: Marketplace listing for MCP servers
+- **Hosting**: Containerized deployment with auto-scaling
+- **Authentication UI**: OAuth flow presentation for users
+- **Session Configuration**: Per-user settings passed via URL parameters
+- **Observability**: Usage logs and monitoring
+
+### Current Architecture Limitations
+
+The current nextcloud-mcp-server architecture assumes a **self-hosted deployment** with:
+
+1. **Persistent Infrastructure**
+   - Qdrant vector database for semantic search
+   - Background sync worker for content indexing
+   - Refresh token storage for offline access
+
+2. **Single-Tenant Configuration**
+   - Environment variables configure one Nextcloud instance
+   - `NEXTCLOUD_HOST`, `NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME`, `NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD`
+   - Or OAuth with a single IdP
+
+3. **Stateful Operations**
+   - Vector sync maintains index state across requests
+   - Token storage persists between sessions
+
+### Smithery Hosting Constraints
+
+Smithery-hosted containers are **stateless by design**:
+
+- No persistent storage between requests
+- No background workers or cron jobs
+- No databases (Qdrant, Redis, etc.)
+- Containers may be recycled at any time
+- Configuration passed per-session via URL parameters
+
+### Opportunity
+
+Many users have **publicly accessible Nextcloud instances** and want to:
+
+1. Try the MCP server without self-hosting infrastructure
+2. Connect multiple users to different Nextcloud instances
+3. Use basic Nextcloud tools without semantic search
+4. Benefit from Smithery's discovery and OAuth UI
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement a **stateless deployment mode** for Smithery that:
+
+1. **Disables stateful features** (vector sync, semantic search)
+2. **Creates clients per-session** from Smithery configuration
+3. **Supports multiple Nextcloud instances** via session config
+4. **Provides a useful subset of tools** that work without infrastructure
+
+### Architecture

+### Implementation
+
+#### 1. Deployment Mode Detection
+
+```python
+# nextcloud_mcp_server/config.py
+
+class DeploymentMode(Enum):
+    SELF_HOSTED = "self_hosted"      # Full features, env-based config
+    SMITHERY_STATELESS = "smithery"  # Stateless, session-based config
+
+def get_deployment_mode() -> DeploymentMode:
+    """Detect deployment mode from environment."""
+    if os.getenv("SMITHERY_DEPLOYMENT") == "true":
+        return DeploymentMode.SMITHERY_STATELESS
+    return DeploymentMode.SELF_HOSTED
+```
+
+#### 2. Session-Based Client Factory
+
+```python
+# nextcloud_mcp_server/context.py
+
+async def get_client(ctx: Context) -> NextcloudClient:
+    """Get NextcloudClient - from session config or environment."""
+
+    mode = get_deployment_mode()
+
+    if mode == DeploymentMode.SMITHERY_STATELESS:
+        # Create client from Smithery session config
+        config = ctx.session_config
+        if not config:
+            raise McpError("Session configuration required")
+
+        return NextcloudClient(
+            base_url=config.nextcloud_url,
+            username=config.username,
+            password=config.app_password,
+        )
+    else:
+        # Existing behavior: from environment or OAuth context
+        return await _get_client_from_context(ctx)
+```
+
+#### 3. Conditional Tool Registration
+
+```python
+# nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py
+
+def create_mcp_server(mode: DeploymentMode) -> FastMCP:
+    """Create MCP server with mode-appropriate tools."""
+
+    mcp = FastMCP("Nextcloud MCP")
+
+    # Always register core tools
+    configure_notes_tools(mcp)
+    configure_calendar_tools(mcp)
+    configure_contacts_tools(mcp)
+    configure_webdav_tools(mcp)
+    configure_deck_tools(mcp)
+    configure_tables_tools(mcp)
+    configure_cookbook_tools(mcp)
+
+    # Only register stateful tools in self-hosted mode
+    if mode == DeploymentMode.SELF_HOSTED:
+        configure_semantic_tools(mcp)  # Requires Qdrant
+        register_oauth_tools(mcp)       # Requires token storage
+
+    return mcp
+```
+
+#### 4. Exclude Admin UI Routes
+
+The `/app` admin UI should **not be installed** in Smithery mode because:
+
+- **Vector sync status** - No vector sync in stateless mode
+- **Vector visualization** - No Qdrant to visualize
+- **Webhook management** - No webhook sync without background workers
+- **Session management** - No persistent sessions to manage
+
+```python
+# nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py
+
+def create_app(mode: DeploymentMode) -> Starlette:
+    """Create Starlette app with mode-appropriate routes."""
+
+    routes = [
+        Route("/health/live", health_live, methods=["GET"]),
+        Route("/health/ready", health_ready, methods=["GET"]),
+    ]
+
+    # Only mount admin UI in self-hosted mode
+    if mode == DeploymentMode.SELF_HOSTED:
+        browser_app = create_browser_app()
+        routes.append(
+            Route("/app", lambda r: RedirectResponse("/app/", status_code=307))
+        )
+        routes.append(Mount("/app", app=browser_app))
+        logger.info("Admin UI mounted at /app")
+    else:
+        logger.info("Admin UI disabled in Smithery stateless mode")
+
+    # Mount FastMCP at root
+    mcp_app = create_mcp_server(mode).streamable_http_app()
+    routes.append(Mount("/", app=mcp_app))
+
+    return Starlette(routes=routes, lifespan=starlette_lifespan)
+```
+
+**Endpoints by Mode:**
+
+| Endpoint | Self-Hosted | Smithery |
+|----------|-------------|----------|

+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+```
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **App Passwords over User Passwords**
+   - Smithery config encourages app passwords (revocable, scoped)
+   - Documentation guides users to create dedicated app passwords
+   - App passwords can be revoked without changing main password
+
+2. **HTTPS Required**
+   - `nextcloud_url` must be HTTPS for production use
+   - Validation rejects HTTP URLs in Smithery mode
+
+3. **No Credential Storage**
+   - Credentials exist only for request duration
+   - No server-side persistence of user credentials
+   - Smithery handles secure config transmission
+
+4. **Scope Limitation**
+   - Stateless mode cannot access offline_access
+   - No background operations on user's behalf
+   - Clear user expectation: tools work during session only
+
+### Migration Path
+
+Users can start with Smithery stateless mode and migrate to self-hosted:
+
+1. **Try on Smithery** → Basic tools, no setup
+2. **Self-host for semantic search** → Add Qdrant, enable vector sync
+3. **Full deployment** → Background sync, webhooks, multi-user OAuth
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Lower barrier to entry** - Users can try without infrastructure
+2. **Multi-user support** - Each session connects to different Nextcloud
+3. **Smithery ecosystem** - Discovery, observability, OAuth UI
+4. **Clear feature tiers** - Stateless (simple) vs self-hosted (full)
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **No semantic search** - Key differentiator unavailable on Smithery
+2. **Per-request auth** - Credentials sent with each request
+3. **No offline access** - Cannot perform background operations
+4. **Maintenance burden** - Two deployment modes to support
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. **Feature subset** - May encourage users to self-host for full features
+2. **Documentation needs** - Clear guidance on mode differences required
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. External MCP Only
+
+**Approach:** Only support self-hosted external MCP registration on Smithery.
+
+**Rejected because:**
+- Higher barrier to entry for new users
+- Misses opportunity for Smithery marketplace visibility
+- Users want to try before committing to infrastructure
+
+### 2. Embedded Vector DB (SQLite-vec)
+
+**Approach:** Use SQLite with vector extensions for per-request indexing.
+
+**Rejected because:**
+- No persistence between requests anyway
+- Indexing latency too high for synchronous requests
+- Complexity without benefit in stateless context
+
+### 3. External Vector DB Service
+
+**Approach:** Connect to Pinecone/Weaviate Cloud from Smithery container.
+
+**Rejected because:**
+- Adds external dependency and cost
+- Per-user collections require complex multi-tenancy
+- Sync still impossible without background workers
+
+### 4. Hybrid: Smithery + User's Qdrant
+
+**Approach:** User provides their own Qdrant URL in session config.
+
+**Considered for future:**
+- Could enable semantic search for advanced users
+- Adds complexity to session config
+- Sync still requires external trigger (manual or webhook)

+# ADR-017: Add MCP Tool Annotations for Enhanced Client UX
+
+## Status
+
+Implemented
+
+## Context
+
+The MCP Python SDK supports tool annotations that provide behavioral hints and improved UX to MCP clients. Currently, our 101 tools across 10 modules lack these annotations, resulting in:
+
+- Snake_case function names displayed to users (e.g., "nc_notes_create_note" instead of "Create Note")
+- No behavioral hints for clients about read-only, destructive, or idempotent operations
+- Missing parameter descriptions for better auto-completion and inline help
+- Clients cannot optimize caching, warn before destructive operations, or retry safely
+
+### Available MCP Annotations
+
+The MCP SDK provides three types of annotations:
+
+#### 1. Tool Decorator Parameters
+```python
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Human-Readable Name",
+    description="Tool description",  # Can also come from docstring
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(...),
+    icons=[Icon(...)]  # Optional visual icons
+)
+```
+
+#### 2. ToolAnnotations Behavioral Hints
+```python
+from mcp.types import ToolAnnotations
+
+ToolAnnotations(
+    title="Alternative Title",  # Decorator title takes precedence
+    readOnlyHint=True,         # Tool doesn't modify data
+    destructiveHint=True,       # Tool may delete/overwrite data
+    idempotentHint=True,        # Repeated calls with same args are safe
+    openWorldHint=True          # Interacts with external entities
+)
+```
+
+#### 3. Parameter Descriptions
+```python
+from pydantic import Field
+
+async def tool(
+    param: str = Field(description="What this parameter does"),
+    ctx: Context
+):
+```
+
+### Idempotency Analysis
+
+**Important**: Idempotency means calling with **the same inputs** produces the same result.
+
+**NOT Idempotent** (different inputs each call):
+- **Updates with etag**: `update_note(id=1, title="X", etag="abc")` → etag changes to "def"
+  - Second call: `update_note(id=1, title="X", etag="abc")` → fails (etag mismatch)
+  - Different input (stale etag) → different result (error)
+- **Creates**: `create_note(title="X")` → creates note 1
+  - Second call → creates note 2 (different result)
+- **Append operations**: `append_content(id=1, text="X")` → adds X once
+  - Second call → adds X again (different result)
+
+**Idempotent**:
+- **Deletes**: `delete_note(id=1)` → note deleted
+  - Second call → 404 or success (same end state: note doesn't exist)
+  - Note: May return different status code, but end state is identical
+- **Full resource PUT without version control**: `write_file(path="/test.txt", content="Hello")` → file has "Hello"
+  - Second call → file still has "Hello" (same end state)
+  - Example: `nc_webdav_write_file` uses HTTP PUT without etags/version control
+- **Set operations**: `set_property(id=1, value="X")` → property = X
+  - Second call → property still = X (same result)
+  - Note: Nextcloud updates with etags use version control, so not idempotent
+
+**Read-Only** (always idempotent, never destructive):
+- All list, search, get operations
+
+## Decision
+
+Add annotations to all 101 tools in three phases:
+
+### Phase 1: Titles (Quick Win)
+Add human-readable titles to all tools:
+
+```python
+@mcp.tool(title="Create Note")
+async def nc_notes_create_note(...):
+```
+
+**Effort**: 2-3 hours
+**Impact**: Immediate UX improvement
+
+### Phase 2: ToolAnnotations (Behavioral Hints)
+Add annotations based on corrected categorization:
+
+```python
+# Read-only tools
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Search Notes",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        readOnlyHint=True,
+        openWorldHint=True  # Nextcloud is external to MCP server
+    )
+)
+
+# Delete tools (idempotent: same end state)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Delete Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        destructiveHint=True,
+        idempotentHint=True,  # Deleting deleted item = same end state
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+
+# Create tools (not idempotent: creates multiple items)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Create Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+
+# Update tools with etag (not idempotent: etag changes)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Update Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,  # Etag required = different inputs each time
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+
+# Append operations (not idempotent: adds content each time)
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Append to Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+```
+
+**Effort**: 4-6 hours
+**Impact**: Better client behavior (caching, warnings, retry logic)
+
+### Phase 3: Parameter Descriptions
+Add Field() descriptions to parameters:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import Field
+
+@mcp.tool(title="Create Note", annotations=ToolAnnotations(idempotentHint=False))
+async def nc_notes_create_note(
+    title: str = Field(description="The title of the note"),
+    content: str = Field(description="Markdown content of the note"),
+    category: str = Field(description="Category or folder name for organizing"),
+    ctx: Context
+) -> CreateNoteResponse:
+```
+
+**Effort**: 6-8 hours
+**Impact**: Better auto-completion and inline help
+
+## Tool Categorization
+
+### Read-Only Tools (~40 tools)
+**Pattern**: List, search, get operations
+**Annotations**: `readOnlyHint=True`, `openWorldHint=True`
+
+Examples:
+- `nc_notes_search_notes` → "Search Notes"
+- `nc_webdav_list_directory` → "List Files and Directories"
+- `nc_calendar_list_calendars` → "List Calendars"
+- `nc_contacts_get_contact` → "Get Contact"
+- `nc_semantic_search` → "Semantic Search"
+- `check_logged_in` → "Check Server Login Status"
+
+### Create Tools (~20 tools)
+**Pattern**: Create new resources
+**Annotations**: `idempotentHint=False`, `openWorldHint=True`
+
+Examples:
+- `nc_notes_create_note` → "Create Note"
+- `nc_calendar_create_event` → "Create Calendar Event"
+- `nc_contacts_create_contact` → "Create Contact"
+- `deck_create_card` → "Create Kanban Card"
+- `nc_tables_create_row` → "Create Table Row"
+
+### Update Tools (~25 tools)
+**Pattern**: Modify existing resources with etag
+**Annotations**: `idempotentHint=False` (etag changes), `openWorldHint=True`
+
+Examples:
+- `nc_notes_update_note` → "Update Note"
+- `nc_calendar_update_event` → "Update Calendar Event"
+- `nc_contacts_update_contact` → "Update Contact"
+- `deck_update_card` → "Update Kanban Card"
+
+**Rationale**: Updates require etag, which changes after each update. Same parameters on second call will fail due to stale etag = NOT idempotent.
+
+### Append/Accumulate Tools (~5 tools)
+**Pattern**: Add content without replacing
+**Annotations**: `idempotentHint=False`, `openWorldHint=True`
+
+Examples:
+- `nc_notes_append_content` → "Append to Note"
+
+**Rationale**: Each call adds content, changing the result = NOT idempotent.
+
+### Delete Tools (~10 tools)
+**Pattern**: Remove resources
+**Annotations**: `destructiveHint=True`, `idempotentHint=True`, `openWorldHint=True`
+
+Examples:
+- `nc_notes_delete_note` → "Delete Note"
+- `nc_webdav_delete_resource` → "Delete File or Directory"
+- `nc_calendar_delete_event` → "Delete Calendar Event"
+- `nc_contacts_delete_contact` → "Delete Contact"
+
+**Rationale**: Deleting already-deleted item results in same end state (item doesn't exist) = idempotent. Status code may differ, but outcome is identical.
+
+### Special Cases
+
+#### OAuth Provisioning Tools
+```python
+# Not read-only but requires user interaction
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Grant Server Access to Nextcloud",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        readOnlyHint=False,
+        idempotentHint=False,  # Creates new OAuth session each time
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+async def provision_nextcloud_access(ctx: Context):
+```
+
+#### Semantic Search (Closed World)
+```python
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Semantic Search",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        readOnlyHint=True,
+        openWorldHint=False  # Searches only indexed Nextcloud data
+    )
+)
+async def nc_semantic_search(query: str, ctx: Context):
+```
+
+**Rationale**: Semantic search only queries pre-indexed Nextcloud content, not the "open world" like web search would.
+
+## Tool Priority Matrix
+
+### Critical Priority (~2 tools)
+OAuth tools required for server functionality:
+- `provision_nextcloud_access` → "Grant Server Access to Nextcloud"
+- `check_logged_in` → "Check Server Login Status"
+
+### High Priority (~50 tools)
+Most commonly used modules:
+- **Notes** (14 tools): Create, read, update, delete notes
+- **WebDAV** (13 tools): File operations
+- **Calendar** (15 tools): Events and todos
+- **Semantic Search** (6 tools): AI-powered search
+- **Contacts** (9 tools): Address book operations
+
+### Medium Priority (~35 tools)
+Secondary functionality:
+- **Deck** (9 tools): Kanban boards
+- **Tables** (7 tools): Structured data
+- **Sharing** (5 tools): File sharing
+
+### Low Priority (~14 tools)
+Less frequently used:
+- **Cookbook** (8 tools): Recipe management
+- **News** (6 tools): RSS feeds
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Week 1: Phase 1 - Titles
+- Add human-readable titles to all 101 tools
+- Update tool name mapping in documentation
+- Manual test in MCP inspector
+
+### Week 2: Phase 2 - ToolAnnotations (High Priority)
+- Add annotations to Critical and High priority tools (~52 tools)
+- Focus on Notes, WebDAV, Calendar, Semantic, OAuth
+- Add unit tests validating annotation presence
+
+### Week 3: Phase 2 - ToolAnnotations (Medium/Low Priority)
+- Complete remaining tools (~49 tools)
+- Deck, Tables, Contacts, Cookbook, News
+- Update tool listings in README
+
+### Week 4: Phase 3 - Parameter Descriptions
+- Add Field() descriptions to Critical/High priority tools
+- Start with OAuth, Notes, WebDAV modules
+- Incremental completion over time
+
+## Benefits
+
+### For Users
+- **Clearer UI**: "Create Note" vs "nc_notes_create_note"
+- **Safety**: Warnings before destructive operations
+- **Better help**: Parameter descriptions in auto-completion
+- **Confidence**: Know which operations are safe to retry
+
+### For MCP Clients
+- **Caching**: Cache results from read-only tools
+- **Safety prompts**: Warn before destructiveHint=true
+- **Retry logic**: Safely retry idempotent operations
+- **UI organization**: Group by behavior (reads vs writes vs deletes)
+- **Performance**: Optimize based on hints
+
+### For Developers
+- **Self-documenting**: Behavior is explicit
+- **Consistency**: Standard patterns across codebase
+- **Testing**: Validate annotations match implementation
+- **Maintenance**: Clear expectations for new tools
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Immediate UX improvement with minimal effort
+- Clients can make smarter decisions
+- Self-documenting code
+- Follows MCP best practices
+
+### Negative
+- Initial effort to add annotations (12-15 hours total)
+- Must maintain annotations when adding new tools
+- Risk of incorrect annotations misleading clients
+
+### Neutral
+- Annotations are hints, not guarantees
+- Clients may ignore annotations
+- Backward compatible (additive change)
+
+### Mitigations
+- **Incorrect annotations**: Add tests validating behavior matches hints
+- **Maintenance burden**: Add to code review checklist and tool template
+- **Documentation**: Update CLAUDE.md with annotation guidelines
+
+## Examples
+
+### Complete Annotated Tool (Delete)
+
+```python
+from mcp.types import ToolAnnotations
+from pydantic import Field
+
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Delete Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        destructiveHint=True,   # Deletes data permanently
+        idempotentHint=True,    # Same end state (note doesn't exist)
+        openWorldHint=True      # Nextcloud is external
+    )
+)
+@require_scopes("notes:write")
+@instrument_tool
+async def nc_notes_delete_note(
+    note_id: int = Field(description="The ID of the note to delete permanently"),
+    ctx: Context
+) -> DeleteNoteResponse:
+    """Delete a note permanently (requires notes:write scope)"""
+    client = await get_client(ctx)
+    # ... implementation ...
+```
+
+### Complete Annotated Tool (Update)
+
+```python
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Update Note",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        idempotentHint=False,   # NOT idempotent: etag changes each update
+        openWorldHint=True
+    )
+)
+@require_scopes("notes:write")
+@instrument_tool
+async def nc_notes_update_note(
+    note_id: int = Field(description="The ID of the note to update"),
+    title: str | None = Field(
+        default=None,
+        description="New title (omit to keep current)"
+    ),
+    content: str | None = Field(
+        default=None,
+        description="New markdown content (omit to keep current)"
+    ),
+    category: str | None = Field(
+        default=None,
+        description="New category/folder (omit to keep current)"
+    ),
+    etag: str = Field(
+        description="ETag from get_note (prevents concurrent modification)"
+    ),
+    ctx: Context
+) -> UpdateNoteResponse:
+    """Update an existing note's title, content, or category.
+
+    The etag parameter is required to prevent overwriting concurrent changes.
+    Get the current ETag by first calling nc_notes_get_note.
+    If the note has been modified since you retrieved it, the update will fail.
+    """
+    client = await get_client(ctx)
+    # ... implementation ...
+```
+
+### Complete Annotated Tool (Read-Only)
+
+```python
+@mcp.tool(
+    title="Search Notes",
+    annotations=ToolAnnotations(
+        readOnlyHint=True,    # Doesn't modify data
+        openWorldHint=True    # Queries Nextcloud
+    )
+)
+@require_scopes("notes:read")
+@instrument_tool
+async def nc_notes_search_notes(
+    query: str = Field(description="Search term to match in note titles or content"),
+    ctx: Context
+) -> SearchNotesResponse:
+    """Search notes by title or content, returning id, title, and category.
+
+    This is a read-only operation that searches across all user notes.
+    Use nc_notes_get_note to retrieve the full content of matching notes.
+    """
+    client = await get_client(ctx)
+    # ... implementation ...
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+Add tests validating annotation presence and correctness:
+
+```python
+def test_notes_tools_have_annotations():
+    """Verify all notes tools have appropriate annotations."""
+    tools = get_registered_tools(mcp)
+
+    # Check create tool
+    create_tool = tools["nc_notes_create_note"]
+    assert create_tool.title == "Create Note"
+    assert create_tool.annotations.idempotentHint is False
+
+    # Check delete tool
+    delete_tool = tools["nc_notes_delete_note"]
+    assert delete_tool.title == "Delete Note"
+    assert delete_tool.annotations.destructiveHint is True
+    assert delete_tool.annotations.idempotentHint is True
+
+    # Check read-only tool
+    search_tool = tools["nc_notes_search_notes"]
+    assert search_tool.title == "Search Notes"
+    assert search_tool.annotations.readOnlyHint is True
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Verify existing tests pass with annotations
+- Manual testing in MCP inspector/client
+
+### Documentation Updates
+- Update README tool listings with new titles
+- Add annotation guidelines to CLAUDE.md
+- Include examples in developer documentation
+
+## Resolved Questions
+
+1. **WebDAV write_file idempotency** (Resolved: 2025-12-11)
+   - **Decision**: Mark as `idempotentHint=True`
+   - **Rationale**: Uses HTTP PUT without version control. Writing same content to same path repeatedly produces identical end state, which is the definition of idempotency in HTTP semantics.
+
+2. **Semantic search openWorldHint** (Resolved: 2025-12-11)
+   - **Decision**: Mark as `openWorldHint=True`
+   - **Rationale**: For consistency with other Nextcloud tools. While the data being searched is "indexed/internal", Nextcloud itself is external to the MCP server. The fact that data is indexed is an implementation detail, not a fundamental difference from other Nextcloud queries.
+
+3. **Read-only with side effects**: Should tools that log analytics still be readOnlyHint=true?
+   - **Decision**: Yes. Logging/analytics are non-visible side effects that don't change user-observable state. Read-only refers to data modifications that affect the user's content.
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+1. **Icons**: Visual icons for tools (requires design work, deferred to future ADR)
+2. **Parameter descriptions**: Add Pydantic `Field(description=...)` for better auto-completion (Phase 3, future work)

+The MCP server supports multiple deployment scenarios with different authentication methods, storage backends, and feature sets. Over time, the configuration system evolved to support ~500+ possible combinations across deployment modes, authentication patterns, and feature toggles. This complexity made it difficult to:
+
+1. Understand what configuration is required for a given deployment
+2. Debug configuration errors (validation scattered across multiple files)
+3. Provide helpful error messages when configuration is invalid
+4. Maintain clear boundaries between deployment modes
+
+**Problems Identified:**
+- No single source of truth for "what config is required for mode X"
+- Validation happening at 4+ different points (Settings.__post_init__, setup_oauth_config(), context helpers, starlette_lifespan)
+- Startup sequence unclear (OAuth setup before FastMCP creation, sync initialization errors)
+- Error messages generic ("X is required") without explaining which deployment mode triggered the requirement
+- Multiple overlapping decision trees (deployment mode, auth mode, features)
+
+## Decision
+
+We formalize five distinct deployment modes with explicit configuration requirements and implement centralized configuration validation.
+
+### Deployment Modes
+
+#### 1. Single-User BasicAuth
+
+**Use Case:** Personal Nextcloud instance, local development
+
+**Required Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://localhost:8080
+NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=admin
+NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=password  # Or app password
+```
+
+**Optional Configuration:**
+```bash
+# Vector sync (semantic search)
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+QDRANT_LOCATION=/path/to/qdrant  # Or QDRANT_URL for remote
+
+# Embeddings (optional - Simple provider used as fallback)
+OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
+OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
+
+# Document processing
+DOCUMENT_CHUNK_SIZE=512
+DOCUMENT_CHUNK_OVERLAP=50
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Single shared NextcloudClient created at startup
+- No OAuth infrastructure needed
+- No multi-user support
+- Vector sync runs as single-user background task
+- Admin UI available at /app
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Multi-User BasicAuth Pass-Through
+
+**Use Case:** Internal deployment where users provide their own credentials, no background sync needed
+
+**Required Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH=true
+```
+
+**Optional Configuration:**
+```bash
+# For background sync (requires app passwords from Astrolabe)
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/path/to/tokens.db
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+# ... plus Qdrant and embedding config
+```
+
+**Conditional Requirements:**
+- If `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true`: requires `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`, `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `TOKEN_STORAGE_DB`
+- If `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true`: requires `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true`
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- No OAuth for client authentication (uses BasicAuth in request headers)
+- BasicAuthMiddleware extracts credentials from Authorization header
+- Client created per-request from extracted credentials
+- Optional: Background sync using app passwords (via Astrolabe API)
+- Admin UI available at /app
+
+---
+
+#### 3. OAuth Single-Audience (Default)
+
+**Use Case:** Multi-user deployment with OAuth authentication, tokens work for both MCP and Nextcloud
+
+**Required Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+# No NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME/PASSWORD (triggers OAuth mode)
+```
+
+**Auto-Configured:**
+- OIDC discovery URL: `{NEXTCLOUD_HOST}/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+- Client credentials: Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) if available
+- Token storage: SQLite at `~/.oauth/clients.db`
+
+**Optional Configuration:**
+```bash
+# Static client credentials (instead of DCR)
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
+
+# Offline access for background sync
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/path/to/tokens.db
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+# ... plus Qdrant and embedding config
+
+# Scopes
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_SCOPES="openid profile email notes:read notes:write ..."
+```
+
+**Conditional Requirements:**
+- If `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true`: requires `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `TOKEN_STORAGE_DB`
+- If `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true`: requires `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true`
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Tokens contain both `aud: ["mcp-server", "nextcloud"]`
+- Pass token through to Nextcloud APIs (no exchange)
+- Client created per-request from token in Authorization header
+- Background sync uses refresh tokens (if offline_access enabled)
+- Admin UI available at /app
+
+---
+
+#### 4. OAuth Token Exchange (RFC 8693)
+
+**Use Case:** Multi-user deployment where MCP token is separate from Nextcloud token
+
+**Required Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=true
+# No NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME/PASSWORD (triggers OAuth mode)
+```
+
+**Optional Configuration:**
+- Same as OAuth Single-Audience, plus:
+```bash
+TOKEN_EXCHANGE_CACHE_TTL=300  # Cache exchanged tokens
+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Tokens contain only `aud: "mcp-server"`
+- MCP server exchanges token for Nextcloud token via RFC 8693
+- Exchanged tokens cached per-user
+- Client created per-request using exchanged token
+- Background sync uses refresh tokens (if offline_access enabled)
+
+---
+
+#### 5. Smithery Stateless
+
+**Use Case:** Multi-tenant SaaS deployment via Smithery platform
+
+**Required Configuration:**
+- None! Configuration comes from session URL params: `?nextcloud_url=...&username=...&app_password=...`
+
+**Forbidden Configuration:**
+- Must NOT set: `NEXTCLOUD_HOST`, `NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME`, `NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD`, `ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH`, `ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE`, `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS`, `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED`, `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- No persistent storage (stateless)
+- Client created per-request from session config
+- No vector sync (disabled)
+- No admin UI (no /app routes)
+- No OAuth infrastructure
+
+---
+
+### Configuration Validation
+
+**Implementation:** `nextcloud_mcp_server/config_validators.py`
+
+**Key Functions:**
+```python
+def detect_auth_mode(settings: Settings) -> AuthMode:
+    """Detect authentication mode from configuration.
+
+    Priority (most specific to most general):
+    1. Smithery (explicit flag)
+    2. Token exchange (most specific OAuth mode)
+    3. Multi-user BasicAuth
+    4. Single-user BasicAuth
+    5. OAuth single-audience (default OAuth mode)
+    """
+
+def validate_configuration(settings: Settings) -> tuple[AuthMode, list[str]]:
+    """Validate configuration for detected mode.
+
+    Returns:
+        Tuple of (detected_mode, list_of_errors)
+        Empty list means valid configuration.
+    """
+```
+
+**Validation Rules:**
+- **Required variables:** Must be set and non-empty
+- **Forbidden variables:** Must NOT be set (or must be False for booleans)
+- **Conditional requirements:** If feature X is enabled, requires variables Y and Z
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+Configuration validation failed for {mode} mode:
+  - [{mode}] Missing required configuration: NEXTCLOUD_HOST
+  - [{mode}] ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS must be enabled when VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED is true
+
+Mode: {mode}
+Description: {mode_description}
+
+Required configuration:
+  - VAR1
+  - VAR2
+
+Optional configuration:
+  - VAR3
+  - VAR4
+
+Conditional requirements:
+  When FEATURE is enabled:
+    - VAR5
+    - VAR6
+```
+
+**Integration:**
+- Validation runs at app startup in `get_app()` (app.py:1048-1062)
+- All errors reported before any initialization begins
+- Mode-specific error messages explain requirements
+- Validation uses the same Settings object used throughout the app
+
+### Configuration Matrix
+
+| Variable | Single BasicAuth | Multi BasicAuth | OAuth Single | OAuth Exchange | Smithery |
+|----------|------------------|-----------------|--------------|----------------|----------|

+\*\* Uses DCR if not provided
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Clarity:** Single function to detect mode from config
+2. **Validation:** All config validated upfront with helpful errors
+3. **Debugging:** Clear logs showing "Running in X mode with config Y"
+4. **Maintenance:** Mode-specific logic can be isolated
+5. **Documentation:** Clear mapping of mode → required config
+6. **Error Messages:** Context-aware ("X is required for Y mode")
+7. **Testing:** Each mode testable in isolation
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Migration:** Existing invalid configurations will now fail at startup
+2. **Flexibility:** Less flexibility in configuration combinations
+3. **Strictness:** Some previously-working combinations may be rejected
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. **Backward Compatibility:** Valid configurations continue to work
+2. **Mode Detection:** Automatic based on config (no explicit mode selection)
+3. **Default Mode:** OAuth single-audience when no credentials provided
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Embedding Provider Validation
+
+Originally, validation required either `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` or `OPENAI_API_KEY` when vector sync was enabled. This was too strict because the Simple provider is always available as a fallback (ADR-015). The validation was removed to allow vector sync without explicit provider configuration.
+
+### Variable Scoping Issues
+
+During implementation, several Python variable scoping issues were discovered in `app.py`:
+- Local variable assignments in `starlette_lifespan()` shadowed outer scope variables
+- Fixed by using unique variable names (e.g., `nextcloud_host_for_context`, `basic_auth_storage`)
+- Removed redundant `settings = get_settings()` call (re-used outer scope)
+
+### Docker Compose Configuration
+
+The `mcp-oauth` service configuration was updated to remove `ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH=true` which conflicted with its intended OAuth mode. The service now runs in OAuth single-audience mode with vector sync using the Simple embedding provider as fallback.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+`tests/unit/test_config_validators.py` provides comprehensive coverage:
+- Mode detection with priority ordering (7 tests)
+- Single-user BasicAuth validation (8 tests)
+- Multi-user BasicAuth validation (7 tests)
+- OAuth single-audience validation (6 tests)
+- OAuth token exchange validation (3 tests)
+- Smithery validation (4 tests)
+- Mode summary generation (3 tests)
+- Edge cases (3 tests)
+
+**Total: 41 tests, all passing**
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Integration tests verify that:
+- Each mode starts successfully with valid configuration
+- Invalid configurations fail with clear error messages
+- Existing deployments continue to work

+# ADR-021: Configuration Consolidation and Simplification
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2025-12-21
+**Deciders:** Development Team
+**Related:** ADR-020 (Deployment Modes), ADR-002 (Vector Sync), ADR-004 (Progressive Consent)
+
+## Context
+
+The configuration system has grown complex with overlapping concerns that make it difficult for users to switch between deployment modes and understand configuration dependencies.
+
+### Problems Identified
+
+1. **Confusing variable names don't reflect purpose**:
+   - `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS` - Actually controls refresh token storage for background operations, not general "offline" capabilities
+   - `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` - Controls semantic search background indexing (implementation detail, not user-facing feature name)
+   - Users struggle to understand what these variables actually control
+
+2. **Redundant configuration requirements**:
+   - Multi-user semantic search requires setting BOTH `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true` AND `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true`
+   - The dependency is one-way (semantic search needs background ops, but background ops don't need semantic search)
+   - Users must understand internal implementation details to configure a user-facing feature
+
+3. **Implicit mode detection creates ambiguity**:
+   - Five deployment modes detected via priority-based logic
+   - Users can't easily predict which mode will activate
+   - Configuration errors don't clearly indicate which mode triggered the requirement
+
+4. **OIDC_CLIENT_ID vs NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID confusion**:
+   - Investigation revealed these are NOT actually overlapping (`OIDC_CLIENT_ID` is test-only)
+   - However, their similar names create confusion
+
+### Current Configuration Complexity
+
+**Example: Multi-user OAuth with semantic search**:
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true      # Why is this needed?
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true        # And this separately?
+QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+Users must understand:
+- Semantic search requires background token storage (ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS)
+- Background token storage requires encryption keys
+- The relationship between ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS and VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED
+- Which deployment mode these settings will activate
+
+## Decision
+
+We consolidate overlapping functionality and add explicit mode selection while maintaining 100% backward compatibility.
+
+### 1. Automatic Dependency Resolution
+
+**Make ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH the primary control** that automatically enables required dependencies:
+
+**New behavior**:
+```python
+@property
+def enable_background_operations(self) -> bool:
+    """Background operations - auto-enabled by semantic search in multi-user modes."""
+    # Check new names first
+    explicit = os.getenv("ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS", "").lower() == "true"
+    # Fall back to old name with deprecation warning
+    legacy = os.getenv("ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS", "").lower() == "true"
+    # Auto-enable if semantic search needs it
+    auto_enabled = self.enable_semantic_search and self.is_multi_user_mode()
+
+    return explicit or legacy or auto_enabled
+
+@property
+def enable_semantic_search(self) -> bool:
+    """Semantic search - renamed from VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED."""
+    new_value = os.getenv("ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH", "").lower() == "true"
+    old_value = os.getenv("VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED", "").lower() == "true"
+    return new_value or old_value
+```
+
+**Result**: Users set `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true` and the system automatically enables background token storage when needed.
+
+### 2. Explicit Mode Selection (Optional)
+
+Add `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` environment variable to remove detection ambiguity:
+
+```bash
+# Optional: Explicitly declare deployment mode
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience
+
+# Valid values: single_user_basic, multi_user_basic,
+#               oauth_single_audience, oauth_token_exchange, smithery
+```
+
+**Detection logic**:
+1. If `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` is set → validate and use it
+2. Otherwise → use priority-based auto-detection (existing behavior)
+3. Validate explicit mode doesn't conflict with detected mode
+
+### 3. Simplified User Experience
+
+**Before**:
+```bash
+# Multi-user OAuth with semantic search
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true      # Confusing
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true        # Why both?
+QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+**After**:
+```bash
+# Multi-user OAuth with semantic search
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience  # Explicit (optional)
+ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true                # Auto-enables background ops
+QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- 2 fewer variables to understand/set
+- Clear intent ("I want semantic search")
+- Explicit mode declaration (optional)
+- All existing configs continue working
+
+### 4. Variable Naming Strategy
+
+**Deprecated (but still functional)**:
+- `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS` → Renamed to `ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS`
+- `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` → Renamed to `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH`
+
+**No change needed**:
+- `VECTOR_SYNC_SCAN_INTERVAL` - Implementation tuning parameter (keep as-is)
+- `VECTOR_SYNC_PROCESSOR_WORKERS` - Implementation tuning parameter (keep as-is)
+- `VECTOR_SYNC_QUEUE_MAX_SIZE` - Implementation tuning parameter (keep as-is)
+
+**Rationale**: Only rename user-facing feature flags, not internal tuning parameters.
+
+### 5. Backward Compatibility
+
+**Support both old and new names for minimum 2 major versions**:
+
+```python
+@property
+def enable_semantic_search(self) -> bool:
+    new_value = os.getenv("ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH", "").lower() == "true"
+    old_value = os.getenv("VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED", "").lower() == "true"
+
+    if new_value and old_value:
+        logger.warning(
+            "Both ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH and VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED are set. "
+            "Using ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH. VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED is deprecated."
+        )
+
+    if old_value and not new_value:
+        logger.warning(
+            "VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED is deprecated. Please use ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH instead."
+        )
+
+    return new_value or old_value
+```
+
+**Deprecation timeline**:
+- v0.6.0: Add new variables, deprecate old ones (both work with warnings)
+- v1.0.0: Remove old variables (breaking change, well-announced)
+- Minimum 2 major versions of support (12+ months)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Reduced cognitive load**: Users set `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true` instead of understanding internal dependencies
+2. **Clearer intent**: Variable names reflect user-facing features, not implementation details
+3. **Explicit mode control**: `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` removes detection ambiguity
+4. **Better onboarding**: New users see simpler configuration in env.sample
+5. **Improved error messages**: Validation can suggest "set MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=X" instead of relying on implicit detection
+6. **No breaking changes**: All existing configurations continue working
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Transition period complexity**: Both old and new names supported for 2+ versions
+2. **Documentation burden**: All docs must be updated to show new approach
+3. **Test coverage expansion**: Must test both old and new variable names in all modes
+4. **Migration effort**: Existing deployments should eventually migrate (optional but recommended)
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. **Same functionality**: No new features, just better organization
+2. **Same validation**: Underlying requirements unchanged (e.g., semantic search still needs Qdrant)
+3. **Same performance**: No runtime performance impact
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Phase 1: Configuration Consolidation (v0.6.0)
+
+**Files to modify**:
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/config.py` - Add property-based deprecation with auto-enablement
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/config_validators.py` - Simplify validation (semantic search no longer requires explicit background operations setting)
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py` - Add informative logging for auto-enablement
+- `tests/unit/test_config_validators.py` - Add auto-enablement tests
+- `docs/configuration-migration-v2.md` - Create migration guide
+
+**Key changes**:
+1. `enable_background_operations` property auto-enables when `enable_semantic_search=true` in multi-user modes
+2. `enable_semantic_search` property accepts both `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH` and `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED`
+3. Smart logging when auto-enablement occurs or deprecated variables used
+4. Validation simplified to remove redundant requirements
+
+### Phase 2: Explicit Mode Selection (v0.6.0)
+
+**Files to modify**:
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/config.py` - Add `deployment_mode` field
+- `nextcloud_mcp_server/config_validators.py` - Check explicit mode first, fall back to auto-detection
+- `tests/unit/test_config_validators.py` - Test mode override and conflict detection
+- `docs/configuration.md` - Document mode selection
+
+**Key changes**:
+1. Add `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` environment variable (optional)
+2. Mode detection checks explicit mode first, then auto-detects
+3. Validate explicit mode doesn't conflict with detected mode
+4. Better error messages referencing explicit mode setting
+
+### Phase 3: env.sample Reorganization (v0.6.0)
+
+**Files to create/modify**:
+- `env.sample` - Reorganize by deployment mode
+- `env.sample.single-user` - Simplest config template
+- `env.sample.oauth-multi-user` - Multi-user template showing consolidation
+- `env.sample.oauth-advanced` - Token exchange mode template
+- `README.md` - Update Quick Start to reference templates
+
+**Key changes**:
+1. Group related settings by deployment mode
+2. Show simplified configuration (only essential variables)
+3. Document automatic dependencies inline
+4. Provide mode-specific quick-start templates
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation Updates (v0.7.0)
+
+**Files to modify**:
+- `docs/configuration.md` - Lead with consolidated approach
+- `docs/authentication.md` - Update mode guidance with `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE`
+- `docs/troubleshooting.md` - Add consolidation troubleshooting section
+- `docs/configuration-migration-v2.md` - Expand with comprehensive examples
+- `docs/ADR-020-deployment-modes-and-configuration-validation.md` - Update configuration matrix
+- All other ADRs - Update variable references
+
+**Key changes**:
+1. Update all examples to use new variable names
+2. Add before/after migration examples
+3. Document automatic dependency resolution
+4. Add mode selection decision tree diagram
+
+## Validation Strategy
+
+### Test Coverage Requirements
+
+**Backward compatibility tests**:
+- Old variable names still work (ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS, VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED)
+- New variable names work (ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS, ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH)
+- Setting both old and new triggers deprecation warning but works correctly
+- All 41 existing config validation tests pass
+
+**Auto-enablement tests**:
+- `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true` in OAuth mode → `enable_background_operations=true`
+- `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true` in single-user mode → `enable_background_operations=false` (not needed)
+- `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=false` → `enable_background_operations=false` (unless explicitly set)
+
+**Mode selection tests**:
+- `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience` → mode correctly detected
+- `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` conflicts with detected mode → validation error
+- No `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` → auto-detection works as before
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+**Immediate** (v0.6.0 release):
+- Zero breaking changes in existing deployments
+- All 41 config validation tests pass
+- New users report clearer configuration process
+
+**Medium-term** (6 months after v0.6.0):
+- 80% of new deployments use new variable names
+- Mode selection errors decrease by 50%
+- Support requests about configuration decrease
+
+**Long-term** (12+ months):
+- 90% of deployments migrated to new names
+- Old variable names can be safely removed in v1.0.0
+- Configuration-related issues in issue tracker decrease
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Just Rename Variables
+
+**Rejected**: User feedback: "There's no reason to just rename variables without consolidating functionality"
+
+This would make names clearer but wouldn't reduce the number of variables users need to set. The real problem is requiring users to set both ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS and VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED when they just want semantic search.
+
+### Alternative 2: Remove ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS Entirely
+
+**Rejected**: Advanced users need background operations without semantic search
+
+Some deployments might want background token storage for future features (background Deck sync, background Calendar sync, etc.) without enabling semantic search. Keeping ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS (renamed) allows this.
+
+### Alternative 3: Always Auto-Enable Background Operations
+
+**Rejected**: Single-user mode doesn't need background token storage
+
+Auto-enablement is only needed in multi-user modes. Single-user mode uses a shared client with BasicAuth, so background token storage is unnecessary. Always enabling it would waste resources and create confusing log messages.
+
+### Alternative 4: Require All New Names Immediately
+
+**Rejected**: Breaking change would affect all existing deployments
+
+Forcing migration to new variable names in v0.6.0 would break every existing deployment. Supporting both old and new names with deprecation warnings provides a smooth migration path.

+# MCP 1.23.x DNS Rebinding Protection Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+MCP Python SDK 1.23.0 introduced **automatic DNS rebinding protection** that breaks containerized deployments (Kubernetes, Docker) when the protection is unintentionally auto-enabled.
+
+### Root Cause
+
+From `mcp/server/fastmcp/server.py:177-183` in the Python SDK:
+
+```python
+# Auto-enable DNS rebinding protection for localhost (IPv4 and IPv6)
+if transport_security is None and host in ("127.0.0.1", "localhost", "::1"):
+    transport_security = TransportSecuritySettings(
+        enable_dns_rebinding_protection=True,
+        allowed_hosts=["127.0.0.1:*", "localhost:*", "[::1]:*"],
+        allowed_origins=["http://127.0.0.1:*", "http://localhost:*", "http://[::1]:*"],
+    )
+```
+
+### What Was Happening
+
+1. **FastMCP initialization** in `app.py` didn't pass `host` or `transport_security` parameters
+2. **Defaults applied**: `host="127.0.0.1"`, `transport_security=None`
+3. **Auto-enablement triggered**: Condition `transport_security is None and host == "127.0.0.1"` was TRUE
+4. **Protection activated** with `allowed_hosts=["127.0.0.1:*", "localhost:*", "[::1]:*"]`
+5. **Kubernetes requests rejected**: `Host: nextcloud-mcp-server.default.svc.cluster.local:8000` didn't match allowed hosts
+
+### Why `--host 0.0.0.0` Didn't Help
+
+The `--host` CLI flag (used in Dockerfile/docker-compose) controls **uvicorn's bind address**, NOT the **FastMCP `host` parameter**. These are separate concerns:
+
+- **Uvicorn bind address** (`--host 0.0.0.0`): Where the HTTP server listens
+- **FastMCP host parameter** (defaulted to `"127.0.0.1"`): Used for auto-enablement logic
+
+## Solution
+
+Explicitly disable DNS rebinding protection by passing `transport_security=TransportSecuritySettings(enable_dns_rebinding_protection=False)` to all FastMCP instances.
+
+### Changes Made
+
+Modified `nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py`:
+
+1. **Import** `TransportSecuritySettings` from `mcp.server.transport_security`
+2. **Updated all three FastMCP initializations**:
+   - OAuth mode (line 1015)
+   - Smithery stateless mode (line 1030)
+   - BasicAuth mode (line 1040)
+
+Each now includes:
+```python
+transport_security=TransportSecuritySettings(enable_dns_rebinding_protection=False)
+```
+
+## Impact
+
+### ✅ What This Fixes
+
+- **Kubernetes deployments**: Requests with k8s service DNS names now work
+- **Docker deployments**: Port-mapped requests (localhost:8000 → container) now work
+- **Reverse proxy deployments**: Proxied requests with various Host headers now work
+- **Ingress controllers**: Requests via ingress hostnames now work
+
+### 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+DNS rebinding protection defends against attacks where:
+1. Attacker controls a DNS domain (e.g., `evil.com`)
+2. DNS initially resolves to attacker's IP
+3. After victim's browser caches the origin, DNS changes to victim's localhost
+4. Attacker's page can now make requests to victim's localhost services
+
+**Why it's safe to disable for this deployment:**
+
+1. **OAuth authentication required** in production deployments (ADR-002, ADR-004)
+2. **Network-level isolation** in containerized environments (k8s network policies, Docker networks)
+3. **MCP is server-to-server**, not exposed to browsers (no CORS concerns)
+4. **Host header validation inappropriate** for multi-tenant k8s environments
+
+If DNS rebinding protection is needed for specific deployments, it can be re-enabled with a custom allowed hosts list:
+
+```python
+transport_security=TransportSecuritySettings(
+    enable_dns_rebinding_protection=True,
+    allowed_hosts=[
+        "nextcloud-mcp-server.default.svc.cluster.local:*",
+        "mcp.example.com:*",
+        # Add all your expected Host header values
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- ✅ Ruff linting passes
+- ✅ Type checking passes (pre-existing warnings unrelated)
+- ✅ Module imports successfully
+- ✅ Compatible with MCP 1.23.x

+## Hybrid Authentication (Multi-User BasicAuth + OAuth)
+
+When running in multi-user BasicAuth mode with `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true`, the server operates in **hybrid authentication mode**. This provides the simplicity of BasicAuth for normal operations with the security of OAuth for administrative functions.
+
+### Authentication Domains
+
+**MCP Operations** (Tools, Resources):
+- **Auth Method**: BasicAuth (HTTP Basic username/password)
+- **Characteristics**:
+  - Stateless - no token storage
+  - Simple configuration
+  - Direct credential validation against Nextcloud
+  - Credentials passed per-request in Authorization header
+- **Used For**: MCP tool calls from Claude, MCP client operations
+
+**Management APIs** (Webhooks, Admin UI):
+- **Auth Method**: OAuth bearer tokens
+- **Characteristics**:
+  - Per-user authorization via OAuth consent flow
+  - Refresh tokens stored for background operations
+  - Token validation via UnifiedTokenVerifier
+  - Explicit user consent required
+- **Used For**: Astrolabe admin UI, webhook management, vector sync operations
+
+### Configuration
+
+```env
+# Enable multi-user BasicAuth
+ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH=true
+
+# Enable hybrid mode (OAuth provisioning for management APIs)
+ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS=true
+
+# Enable background sync (required for hybrid mode currently)
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+
+# Encryption key for refresh token storage
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<base64-encoded-key>
+
+# Nextcloud connection
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://cloud.example.com
+
+# OAuth credentials (optional - uses DCR if not set)
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
+```
+
+### OAuth Provisioning Flow
+
+1. Admin opens Astrolabe admin settings in Nextcloud
+2. Clicks "Authorize" to enable webhook management
+3. Redirected to `/oauth/authorize-nextcloud` on MCP server
+4. MCP server redirects to Nextcloud OAuth consent page
+5. Admin grants OAuth consent (scopes: `openid`, `profile`, `offline_access`)
+6. Redirected back to `/oauth/callback` on MCP server
+7. MCP server stores refresh token (encrypted)
+8. Admin can now manage webhooks from Astrolabe UI
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **Simple MCP client setup**: Use BasicAuth (no OAuth complexity for end users)
+- **Secure background operations**: Webhooks use per-user OAuth tokens (no shared credentials)
+- **Explicit authorization**: Admins must explicitly grant OAuth consent for webhook operations
+- **Per-user isolation**: Each admin's webhook operations use their own refresh token
+
+### Trade-offs
+
+- **Two auth systems**: More complex server configuration than pure BasicAuth or OAuth
+- **OAuth setup required**: Admins must complete OAuth flow before managing webhooks
+- **Token storage**: Requires database and encryption key for refresh tokens
+
+### Comparison
+
+| Feature | Pure BasicAuth | Hybrid Mode | Pure OAuth |
+|---------|---------------|-------------|------------|
+| MCP Operations | BasicAuth | BasicAuth | OAuth Bearer Token |
+| Management API | N/A | OAuth Bearer Token | OAuth Bearer Token |
+| Webhook Operations | N/A | OAuth Refresh Token | OAuth Refresh Token |
+| MCP Client Setup | Simple | Simple | Complex (PKCE flow) |
+| Admin UI Auth | N/A | OAuth Consent | OAuth Login |
+| Token Storage | None | Refresh tokens only | All tokens |
+| Deployment Complexity | Low | Medium | High |

+4. Restart server
+

+
+## Understanding Automatic Dependency Resolution
+
+### How It Works
+
+In v0.58.0+, the server uses smart dependency resolution:
+
+```python
+# In multi-user modes (OAuth, Multi-User BasicAuth):
+if ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH == true:
+    background_operations = automatically enabled
+    refresh_tokens = automatically requested
+    token_storage = required (TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, TOKEN_STORAGE_DB)
+    oauth_credentials = required (for app password retrieval)
+```
+
+**What this means:**
+- ✅ Set `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true`
+- ✅ Provide required infrastructure (Qdrant, Ollama, encryption key)
+- ✅ System automatically enables background operations
+- ❌ No need to set `ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS` separately
+
+### When Automatic Enablement Happens
+
+| Deployment Mode | Semantic Search Enabled | Background Operations Auto-Enabled? |
+|----------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------|
+| Single-User BasicAuth | ✅ | ❌ No (not needed) |
+| Multi-User BasicAuth | ✅ | ✅ Yes |
+| OAuth Single-Audience | ✅ | ✅ Yes |
+| OAuth Token Exchange | ✅ | ✅ Yes |
+| Smithery Stateless | N/A (not supported) | N/A |
+
+### When to Explicitly Set ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS
+
+Only needed when you want background operations **without** semantic search:
+
+```bash
+# Example: OAuth mode with background operations but NO semantic search
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience
+
+# Explicitly enable background operations for future features
+ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS=true
+
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-key-here
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+
+# Semantic search disabled
+ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=false
+```
+
+---
+
+## Explicit Mode Selection
+
+### Why Use MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE?
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Removes ambiguity about which mode is active
+- ✅ Validation errors reference specific mode requirements
+- ✅ Catches configuration mistakes early
+- ✅ Self-documenting configuration
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Without explicit mode:
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+# Is this OAuth or Multi-User BasicAuth? Not immediately clear.
+
+# With explicit mode:
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=https://nextcloud.example.com
+# Clear: This is OAuth mode
+```
+
+### Valid Mode Values
+
+| Mode Value | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `single_user_basic` | Single-user with username/password |
+| `multi_user_basic` | Multi-user with BasicAuth pass-through |
+| `oauth_single_audience` | Multi-user OAuth (recommended) |
+| `oauth_token_exchange` | Multi-user OAuth with token exchange |
+| `smithery` | Smithery platform deployment |
+
+### Mode Detection Priority
+
+When `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` is set:
+1. ✅ Explicit mode is used
+2. ✅ Server validates configuration matches explicit mode
+3. ❌ Auto-detection is skipped
+
+When `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` is NOT set:
+1. ✅ Auto-detection runs (existing behavior)
+2. ✅ Priority: Smithery → Token Exchange → Multi-User BasicAuth → Single-User BasicAuth → OAuth Single-Audience
+
+---
+
+## Validation and Error Messages
+
+### Old Validation (v0.57.x)
+
+```
+Error: [multi_user_basic] ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS is required when VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED is enabled
+```
+
+**Problem:** User must understand internal dependency relationship
+
+### New Validation (v0.58.0+)
+
+```
+Error: [multi_user_basic] TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is required when ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH is enabled
+```
+
+**Benefit:** Clear what's needed, no mention of internal ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS flag
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting Migration
+
+### Issue: Deprecation Warning After Migration
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+WARNING: VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED is deprecated. Please use ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH instead.
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check for `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` in `.env` file
+2. Replace with `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH`
+3. Search for any scripts/CI configs using old name
+4. Restart server
+
+### Issue: Both Old and New Names Set
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+WARNING: Both ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH and VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED are set. Using ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH.
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Remove `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` from `.env`
+2. Keep `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH`
+3. Restart server
+
+### Issue: Missing Required Dependencies
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+Error: [oauth_single_audience] TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is required when ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH is enabled
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+When semantic search is enabled in multi-user modes, you need:
+- `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY` - Generate with: `python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"`
+- `TOKEN_STORAGE_DB` - Path to SQLite database (e.g., `/app/data/tokens.db`)
+- `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID` and `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` - For app password retrieval
+
+### Issue: Unexpected Mode Detected
+
+**Symptom:**
+Server activates `oauth_single_audience` mode when you expected `multi_user_basic`
+
+**Solution:**
+Add explicit mode declaration:
+```bash
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=multi_user_basic
+ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH=true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Your Migration
+
+### Step 1: Verify Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Set new variable names in .env
+cat .env | grep -E "(ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH|ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS|MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE)"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Check for Old Variable Names
+
+```bash
+# Should return nothing after migration
+cat .env | grep -E "(VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED|ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS)"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Start Server and Check Logs
+
+```bash
+# Start server

+
+# Look for:
+# 1. No deprecation warnings
+# 2. Correct mode detected
+# 3. Auto-enablement messages (if using semantic search in multi-user mode)
+```
+
+**Expected Log Output (Multi-User OAuth + Semantic Search):**
+```
+INFO: Using explicit deployment mode: oauth_single_audience
+INFO: Automatically enabled background operations for semantic search in multi-user mode.
+INFO: Vector sync enabled. Starting background scanner...
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Functionality
+
+Test that existing features still work:
+- [ ] Semantic search returns results
+- [ ] Background indexing runs
+- [ ] OAuth flow completes successfully
+- [ ] Refresh tokens are stored/retrieved

+
+## Quick Start Templates
+
+We provide mode-specific templates for new deployments:
+
+| Template | Use Case |
+|----------|----------|
+| `env.sample.single-user` | Simplest setup |
+| `env.sample.oauth-multi-user` | Recommended multi-user |
+| `env.sample.oauth-advanced` | Token exchange mode |
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+cp env.sample.oauth-multi-user .env
+# Edit .env with your values
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+---
+
+## Timeline and Support
+
+| Version | Status | Old Variable Support |
+|---------|--------|---------------------|
+| v0.57.x | Stable | Old names only |
+| v0.58.0 | Current | Both old and new (with warnings) |
+| v1.0.0 | Breaking | New names only |
+
+**Recommendation:** Migrate before v1.0.0 (12+ months minimum)
+
+---
+
+## Getting Help
+
+If you encounter issues during migration:
+
+1. **Check the logs** - Look for deprecation warnings and error messages
+2. **Review ADR-021** - See [docs/ADR-021-configuration-consolidation.md](ADR-021-configuration-consolidation.md)
+3. **Use mode-specific templates** - See `env.sample.*` files
+4. **File an issue** - Include your `.env` (redacted), logs, and mode
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**What You Need to Do:**
+1. ✅ Rename `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED` → `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH`
+2. ✅ (Optional) Rename `ENABLE_OFFLINE_ACCESS` → `ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS`
+3. ✅ (Recommended) Add `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` for clarity
+4. ✅ Remove redundant settings (semantic search auto-enables background ops in multi-user modes)
+5. ✅ Test your configuration
+
+**What the Server Does Automatically:**
+- ✅ Supports both old and new variable names
+- ✅ Logs deprecation warnings for old names
+- ✅ Auto-enables background operations when semantic search is enabled in multi-user modes
+- ✅ Validates configuration and provides clear error messages
+
+**Migration Timeline:**
+- Now → v1.0.0: Both old and new names work
+- v1.0.0+: Only new names supported

+
+```dotenv
+# Optional but recommended
+MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=oauth_single_audience

+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Clear which mode is active
+- ✅ Better validation error messages
+- ✅ Self-documenting configuration
+- ✅ Catches configuration mistakes early

+# Database Migrations
+
+This document describes the database migration system for nextcloud-mcp-server's token storage database.
+
+## Overview
+
+The token storage database uses [Alembic](https://alembic.sqlalchemy.org/) for schema versioning and migrations. Alembic provides:
+
+- **Version Control**: Track schema changes in Git
+- **Rollback Support**: Safely downgrade schema if needed
+- **Audit Trail**: Migration files serve as schema changelog
+- **Automated Upgrades**: Database schema updates automatically on startup
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+The system handles three scenarios:
+
+1. **New Database**: Runs migrations from scratch to create all tables
+2. **Pre-Alembic Database**: Stamps existing database with initial revision (no changes)
+3. **Alembic-Managed Database**: Upgrades to latest version automatically
+
+### Directory Structure

+    └── migrations.py                     # Migration utilities
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Automatic Migration on Startup
+
+Migrations run automatically when the server starts:
+
+```bash
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server
+```
+
+The `RefreshTokenStorage.initialize()` method:
+1. Checks if database is Alembic-managed
+2. Stamps pre-Alembic databases with initial revision
+3. Upgrades to latest version
+
+### Manual Migration Commands
+
+```bash
+# Show current database version
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current
+
+# Upgrade database to latest version
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade
+
+# Show migration history
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db history
+
+# Downgrade by one version (emergency use only)
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade
+
+# Specify custom database path
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current -d /path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `TOKEN_STORAGE_DB`: Path to database file (default: `/app/data/tokens.db`)
+
+## Creating Migrations (Developers)
+
+### Step 1: Create Migration File
+
+```bash
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db migrate "add user preferences table"
+```
+
+This creates a new migration file in `alembic/versions/` with empty `upgrade()` and `downgrade()` functions.
+
+### Step 2: Write Migration SQL
+
+Since we don't use SQLAlchemy models, write raw SQL:
+
+```python
+def upgrade() -> None:
+    """Add user preferences table."""
+    op.execute("""
+        CREATE TABLE user_preferences (
+            user_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+            theme TEXT DEFAULT 'light',
+            language TEXT DEFAULT 'en',
+            created_at INTEGER NOT NULL
+        )
+    """)
+
+    op.execute("""
+        CREATE INDEX idx_user_preferences_user_id
+        ON user_preferences(user_id)
+    """)
+
+
+def downgrade() -> None:
+    """Remove user preferences table."""
+    op.execute("DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_user_preferences_user_id")
+    op.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_preferences")
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test Migration
+
+```bash
+# Test upgrade
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade -d /tmp/test.db
+
+# Verify schema
+sqlite3 /tmp/test.db ".schema"
+
+# Test downgrade
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade -d /tmp/test.db
+
+# Verify removal
+sqlite3 /tmp/test.db ".schema"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Commit Migration
+
+```bash
+git add alembic/versions/YYYYMMDD_HHMM_XXX_description.py
+git commit -m "feat: add user preferences table migration"
+```
+
+## SQLite Limitations
+
+SQLite has limited `ALTER TABLE` support:
+
+### Supported Operations
+
+- ✅ Add columns: `ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN ...`
+- ✅ Rename table: `ALTER TABLE old RENAME TO new`
+- ✅ Rename column: `ALTER TABLE table RENAME COLUMN old TO new` (SQLite 3.25+)
+
+### Unsupported Operations (Requires Table Recreation)
+
+- ❌ Drop column
+- ❌ Change column type
+- ❌ Add constraints to existing columns
+
+### Table Recreation Pattern
+
+For complex schema changes:
+
+```python
+def upgrade() -> None:
+    # Create new table with desired schema
+    op.execute("""
+        CREATE TABLE refresh_tokens_new (
+            user_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+            encrypted_token BLOB NOT NULL,
+            new_field TEXT,  -- New column
+            expires_at INTEGER,
+            created_at INTEGER NOT NULL
+        )
+    """)
+
+    # Copy data from old table
+    op.execute("""
+        INSERT INTO refresh_tokens_new
+        (user_id, encrypted_token, expires_at, created_at)
+        SELECT user_id, encrypted_token, expires_at, created_at
+        FROM refresh_tokens
+    """)
+
+    # Drop old table and rename new table
+    op.execute("DROP TABLE refresh_tokens")
+    op.execute("ALTER TABLE refresh_tokens_new RENAME TO refresh_tokens")
+
+    # Recreate indexes
+    op.execute("CREATE INDEX idx_user_id ON refresh_tokens(user_id)")
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **Migrations**: `YYYYMMDD_HHMM_XXX_description.py`
+- **Revision IDs**: Sequential numbers (`001`, `002`, `003`)
+- **Descriptions**: Imperative mood ("add table", "remove column")
+
+### Migration Guidelines
+
+1. **Test Thoroughly**: Test both upgrade and downgrade paths
+2. **Preserve Data**: Ensure data migration logic is correct
+3. **Document Changes**: Add comments explaining complex operations
+4. **Small Changes**: One logical change per migration
+5. **No Breaking Changes**: Maintain backward compatibility when possible
+
+### Downgrade Considerations
+
+- **Data Loss**: Downgrade may lose data (dropped columns, tables)
+- **Confirmation**: Downgrade command requires explicit confirmation
+- **Testing**: Always test downgrade path before deploying
+- **Emergency Only**: Use downgrades only for critical rollbacks
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+### Pre-Alembic Databases
+
+Existing databases created before Alembic integration are automatically detected and stamped with revision `001`:
+
+1. Server detects no `alembic_version` table
+2. Checks if `refresh_tokens` table exists
+3. If yes, stamps database with `001` (no schema changes)
+4. Future updates use normal migration path
+
+### Migration Path
+
+```
+Pre-Alembic DB → Stamp(001) → Upgrade(002) → Upgrade(003) → ...
+New DB → Migrate(001) → Upgrade(002) → Upgrade(003) → ...
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Migration Fails
+
+```bash
+# Check current state
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current -d /path/to/tokens.db
+
+# View migration history
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db history -d /path/to/tokens.db
+
+# Manually inspect database
+sqlite3 /path/to/tokens.db ".schema"
+```
+
+### Reset to Initial State
+
+**WARNING: This destroys all data!**
+
+```bash
+# Downgrade to base (empty database)
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade -d /path/to/tokens.db --revision base
+
+# Upgrade to latest
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade -d /path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+### Corrupted Migration State
+
+If `alembic_version` table is corrupted:
+
+```bash
+# Manually fix via SQL
+sqlite3 /path/to/tokens.db
+> DELETE FROM alembic_version;
+> INSERT INTO alembic_version (version_num) VALUES ('001');
+> .quit
+
+# Verify and upgrade
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current -d /path/to/tokens.db
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade -d /path/to/tokens.db
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### Pre-Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Run migrations in test environment
+export TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade
+
+# Verify current version
+uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db current
+```
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+Migrations run automatically on container startup via `RefreshTokenStorage.initialize()`.
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+1. Stop application
+2. Backup database: `cp tokens.db tokens.db.backup`
+3. Downgrade: `uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade --revision XXX`
+4. Deploy previous application version
+5. Restart application

+
+### Database Migrations
+
+Token storage uses **Alembic** for schema management:
+
+- **Automatic migrations**: Database is upgraded automatically on server startup
+- **Backward compatibility**: Pre-Alembic databases are automatically stamped with the initial revision
+- **Migration files**: Located in `alembic/versions/`
+- **For developers**: When changing the schema:
+  1. Create a migration: `uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db migrate "add new column"`
+  2. Edit the generated file in `alembic/versions/` to add SQL statements
+  3. Test upgrade: `uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db upgrade`
+  4. Test downgrade: `uv run nextcloud-mcp-server db downgrade`

+```
+ValueError: Invalid MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE: 'oauth'. Valid values: single_user_basic, multi_user_basic, oauth_single_audience, oauth_token_exchange, smithery
+```
+
+**Cause:** Invalid value for `MCP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE`.
+
+**Solution:**
+Use one of the valid mode values:
+```bash
+# Correct values:

+
+### Issue: Missing TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY when semantic search enabled
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+Error: [oauth_single_audience] TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY is required when ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH is enabled
+```
+
+**Cause:** In multi-user modes, semantic search automatically enables background operations, which require encrypted token storage.
+
+**Solution:**
+Generate an encryption key and add required token storage configuration:
+
+```bash
+# Generate encryption key
+python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
+
+# Add to .env:
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<generated-key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id       # Required for app password retrieval
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
+```
+
+**Why this happens:**
+- v0.58.0+ automatically enables background operations when `ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true` in multi-user modes
+- Background operations need encrypted refresh token storage
+- This simplifies configuration but requires the encryption infrastructure
+
+See [Configuration Guide - Semantic Search](configuration.md#semantic-search-configuration-optional) for details.
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Both old and new variable names set
+
+**Symptom:**
+```
+WARNING: Both ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH and VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED are set. Using ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH.
+```
+
+**Cause:** You have both the old and new variable names in your configuration.
+
+**Solution:**
+Remove the old variable name:
+```bash
+# Remove this line:
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+
+# Keep this line:
+ENABLE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH=true
+```
+
+The server will use the new name and ignore the old one, but it's cleaner to remove the old variable entirely.

docs/webhook-management-guide.md

+# Webhook Management Guide
+
+This guide explains how to enable and disable webhooks for vector sync in each MCP server deployment mode. Webhooks enable near-real-time synchronization of content changes to the vector database, complementing the default polling-based sync.
+
+**Related ADRs:**
+- ADR-010: Webhook-Based Vector Sync
+- ADR-020: Deployment Modes and Configuration Validation
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before enabling webhooks, ensure:
+
+1. **Nextcloud 30+** with `webhook_listeners` app enabled
+2. **Astrolabe app** installed in Nextcloud (provides settings UI and credentials API)
+3. **MCP server** accessible from Nextcloud via HTTP(S)
+4. **Vector sync enabled** on the MCP server
+
+## Webhook Architecture Overview
+
+The webhook system has two components:
+
+1. **Webhook Registration** - Configuring Nextcloud to send change notifications to the MCP server
+2. **Background Sync Credentials** - Allowing the MCP server to access Nextcloud APIs on behalf of users
+
+Both must be configured for webhooks to function properly.
+
+## Deployment Mode Specifics
+
+### 1. Single-User BasicAuth
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://localhost:8080
+NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME=admin
+NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD=password
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+**Enable Webhooks:**
+1. Register webhooks using occ commands (requires Nextcloud admin):
+   ```bash
+   # Enable webhook_listeners app
+   php occ app:enable webhook_listeners
+
+   # Register webhooks for vector sync
+   php occ webhook_listeners:add \
+     --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeCreatedEvent" \
+     --uri "http://mcp-server:8000/webhooks/nextcloud" \
+     --method POST
+
+   # Repeat for other events (see Event Types below)
+   ```
+
+2. Optionally reduce polling frequency:
+   ```bash
+   VECTOR_SYNC_SCAN_INTERVAL=86400  # 24 hours
+   ```
+
+**Disable Webhooks:**
+```bash
+# List registered webhooks
+php occ webhook_listeners:list
+
+# Remove specific webhook by ID
+php occ webhook_listeners:remove <webhook-id>
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Simplest mode - admin credentials used for all operations
+- No per-user provisioning required
+- Background sync runs as the configured admin user
+
+---
+
+### 2. Multi-User BasicAuth Pass-Through
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_MULTI_USER_BASIC_AUTH=true
+ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS=true
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+# OAuth client for Astrolabe API access
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
+NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
+```
+
+**Credential Architecture:**
+This mode uses **two separate credential mechanisms**:
+
+1. **OAuth Session** (for management API access, including webhooks):
+   - Obtained via browser OAuth flow (`/oauth/login`)
+   - Stores refresh token in MCP server's `tokens.db`
+   - Used for webhook registration/management APIs
+
+2. **App Password** (for background sync):
+   - Generated in Nextcloud Security settings
+   - Stored encrypted in Nextcloud's `oc_preferences` via Astrolabe
+   - Used by background scanners to access Nextcloud APIs
+
+**Enable Webhooks:**
+
+#### Step 1: Complete OAuth Login (for Management API)
+Users must authorize the MCP server to access their Nextcloud:
+
+1. Navigate to **Nextcloud Settings → Astrolabe** (Personal settings)
+2. Click **"Authorize via OAuth"** under "Option 1"
+3. Complete OAuth consent flow
+4. Verify the page shows "Background Sync Access: Active"
+
+#### Step 2: Configure App Password (for Background Sync)
+Since OAuth refresh tokens have short expiry, users should also configure an app password:
+
+1. Navigate to **Nextcloud Settings → Security**
+2. Generate a new app password (name it "Astrolabe" or "MCP Server")
+3. Return to **Nextcloud Settings → Astrolabe**
+4. Under "Option 2: App Password", paste the app password
+5. Click **Save**
+
+#### Step 3: Register Webhooks (Admin)
+Same as Single-User BasicAuth:
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:add \
+  --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeCreatedEvent" \
+  --uri "http://mcp-server:8003/webhooks/nextcloud" \
+  --method POST
+```
+
+**Disable Webhooks:**
+
+*Per-User:*
+1. Navigate to **Nextcloud Settings → Astrolabe**
+2. Click **"Revoke Access"** (for OAuth tokens) or **"Revoke Access"** (for app password)
+
+*System-Wide:*
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:remove <webhook-id>
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting:**
+
+If OAuth login fails with "Access forbidden - Your client is not authorized":
+1. Check if OAuth client is registered:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT id, name, client_identifier FROM oc_oidc_clients
+   WHERE dcr = 1 ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5;
+   ```
+2. Restart MCP server to trigger DCR re-registration
+3. Verify `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID` and `NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` are set
+
+If background sync fails with "User no longer provisioned":
+1. Verify app password is stored:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT userid, configkey FROM oc_preferences
+   WHERE appid = 'astrolabe' AND userid = 'username';
+   ```
+2. Ensure user completed **both** OAuth login AND app password setup
+
+---
+
+### 3. OAuth Single-Audience (Default OAuth Mode)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+# No NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME/PASSWORD
+ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS=true
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+**Enable Webhooks:**
+
+#### Step 1: User Provisioning
+Users authorize via OAuth with `offline_access` scope:
+
+1. MCP client initiates OAuth flow
+2. User consents to requested scopes including `offline_access`
+3. MCP server stores refresh token for background operations
+
+Alternatively, via Astrolabe UI:
+1. Navigate to **Nextcloud Settings → Astrolabe**
+2. Click **"Authorize via OAuth"**
+3. Complete consent flow
+
+#### Step 2: Register Webhooks (Admin)
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:add \
+  --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeCreatedEvent" \
+  --uri "http://mcp-server:8001/webhooks/nextcloud" \
+  --method POST
+```
+
+**Disable Webhooks:**
+
+*Per-User:*
+- Via Astrolabe UI: Click "Disable Indexing" or "Disconnect"
+- Via MCP tool: Use `revoke_nextcloud_access` if available
+
+*System-Wide:*
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:remove <webhook-id>
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. OAuth Token Exchange (RFC 8693)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+NEXTCLOUD_HOST=http://nextcloud.example.com
+ENABLE_TOKEN_EXCHANGE=true
+ENABLE_BACKGROUND_OPERATIONS=true
+TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<key>
+TOKEN_STORAGE_DB=/app/data/tokens.db
+VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+**Enable/Disable Webhooks:**
+Same process as OAuth Single-Audience. The token exchange happens transparently when the MCP server accesses Nextcloud APIs.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Smithery Stateless
+
+**Configuration:**
+- Configuration from session URL params
+- `VECTOR_SYNC_ENABLED=false` (required)
+
+**Webhooks:**
+**Not supported.** This mode is stateless with no persistent storage or background operations.
+
+---
+
+## Webhook Event Types
+
+Register these webhook events for full vector sync coverage:
+
+### File/Note Events
+```bash
+# Use BeforeNodeDeletedEvent for deletions (includes node.id)
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeCreatedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeWrittenEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Files\Events\Node\BeforeNodeDeletedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+```
+
+### Calendar Events
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Calendar\Events\CalendarObjectCreatedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Calendar\Events\CalendarObjectUpdatedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCP\Calendar\Events\CalendarObjectDeletedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+```
+
+### Tables Events
+```bash
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCA\Tables\Event\RowAddedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCA\Tables\Event\RowUpdatedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+php occ webhook_listeners:add --event "OCA\Tables\Event\RowDeletedEvent" --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud"
+```
+
+## Webhook Presets (via Astrolabe UI)
+
+The Astrolabe app provides preset webhook configurations that can be enabled/disabled via the Admin settings UI:
+
+| Preset | Events Covered |
+|--------|----------------|
+| `notes_sync` | File create/update/delete for .md files |
+| `calendar_sync` | Calendar object events |
+| `tables_sync` | Tables row events |
+| `forms_sync` | Forms submission events |
+| `files_sync` | All file events (optional, high volume) |
+
+**Enable Presets:**
+1. Navigate to **Nextcloud Settings → Astrolabe** (Admin settings)
+2. Toggle desired presets in "Webhook Configuration"
+
+**Note:** Presets require the MCP server's management API to be accessible. The API uses OAuth bearer tokens from the user's session.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Webhook Authentication
+Configure `WEBHOOK_SECRET` to require authentication for incoming webhooks:
+
+```bash
+# MCP Server
+WEBHOOK_SECRET=<generate-random-secret>
+
+# Nextcloud webhook registration
+php occ webhook_listeners:add \
+  --event "..." \
+  --uri "$MCP_URL/webhooks/nextcloud" \
+  --header "Authorization: Bearer <secret>"
+```
+
+### Token Storage
+- Refresh tokens and app passwords are encrypted using `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY`
+- Store the key securely (environment variable, secrets manager)
+- Different users have isolated credential storage
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### MCP Server Logs
+```bash
+# Docker
+docker compose logs mcp-multi-user-basic | grep -i webhook
+
+# Key log messages
+# - "Queued document from webhook: ..." - Success
+# - "Webhook authentication failed" - Auth error
+# - "User X no longer provisioned" - Missing credentials
+```
+
+### Nextcloud Logs
+```bash
+docker compose exec app cat /var/www/html/data/nextcloud.log | \
+  jq 'select(.message | contains("webhook"))' | tail
+```
+
+### Database Checks
+```sql
+-- Check registered webhooks
+SELECT * FROM oc_webhook_listeners;
+
+-- Check OAuth clients
+SELECT id, name, token_type FROM oc_oidc_clients WHERE dcr = 1;
+
+-- Check user credentials in Astrolabe
+SELECT userid, configkey FROM oc_preferences WHERE appid = 'astrolabe';
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### "Access forbidden - Your client is not authorized to connect"
+**Cause:** OAuth client registration expired or not present in Nextcloud
+**Fix:** Restart MCP server to trigger DCR re-registration
+
+### "User X no longer provisioned, stopping scanner"
+**Cause:** Background sync credentials missing or expired
+**Fix:** User must complete credential provisioning (see mode-specific steps)
+
+### "Failed to fetch" in browser console during OAuth
+**Cause:** Network issue between browser and MCP server callback endpoint
+**Fix:** Verify MCP server is accessible at the configured `NEXTCLOUD_MCP_SERVER_URL`
+
+### Webhooks not firing
+**Causes:**
+1. `webhook_listeners` app not enabled
+2. Webhook not registered for the event type
+3. Background job workers not running
+**Fix:**
+```bash
+php occ app:enable webhook_listeners
+php occ background:cron  # or configure systemd cron
+```

+
+        This verification accepts ANY valid Nextcloud OIDC token, not just tokens

+        - Astrolabe (NC PHP app) uses its own OAuth client with Nextcloud OIDC
+        - Tokens from Astrolabe have Astrolabe's client_id as audience
+        - MCP server's management API should accept these tokens
+
+        Security Model:
+        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+        This relaxed audience validation is secure because:
+
+        1. **Authentication layer** (this method):
+           - Verifies token signature against Nextcloud's JWKS (cryptographic proof)
+           - Verifies token is not expired
+           - Extracts user identity from validated token claims
+
+        2. **Authorization layer** (management API endpoints):
+           - EVERY endpoint verifies: token.sub == requested_resource_owner
+           - Example: GET /users/{user_id}/session checks token_user_id == path_user_id
+           - Users can ONLY access their own resources, never another user's
+
+        3. **Attack scenario analysis**:
+           - Attacker with stolen token for App A cannot access user B's data
+           - Token's `sub` claim is cryptographically bound to a specific user
+           - Authorization layer rejects cross-user access attempts (403 Forbidden)
+
+        4. **Why audience validation isn't needed here**:
+           - Audience validation prevents token confusion attacks across services
+           - But management API authorization already gates access per-user
+           - A token valid for "astrolabe" is still bound to user X, not user Y
