The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI models connect easily and securely to external data sources and tools, like business systems or cloud services. It acts like a universal adapter, enabling AI to access the right context and data to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. Microsoft offers many MCP servers that link AI with services such as Azure DevOps, SQL databases, Microsoft 365, and more, allowing AI to interact naturally with your data and workflows. This helps you get smarter AI assistance, better automation, and easier integration across your tools.

You can log and track the phone locations of your family and friends in complete privacy, using your Nextcloud server.
To do this you need to install the Nextcloud PhoneTrack App on your Nextcloud server, and the Android PhoneTrack App on every DeGoogled phone you want to track.
The F-Droid version is old and buggy.
To get the newer Dev Android version, you:
1. Go to the PhoneTrack Dev GitLab page, scroll down and click the "APK Direct Download" link
2. At top "Pipeline" option, click the Download arrow and select "AssembleDevDebug:archive"
3. This downloads a zip file. Extract the zip and install the APK.
CONNECT ALL PHONES AND TRACK
4. On Nextcloud create a dedicated account for PhoneTracking.
5. Create a PhoneTrack "Session" in the Nextcloud PhoneTrack app.
6. Sign each phone into the Nextcloud PhoneTrack account, and on the phone, add a "PhoneTrack log job" to the Session on Nextcloud.
