Upload file
Write a file to your Nextcloud at a path. It does not replace an existing file unless you say so.
MCP tool nextcloud_write → upload_file
write Confirm
Writes a file at the path you give. Text goes in as content; for a binary file such as a PDF, send base64 and set encoding. If a file already exists at that path, the call fails unless overwrite is true, because Nextcloud replaces the old file otherwise. Missing parent folders are created. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
