Overview

What is WebDAV MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables CRUD operations on a WebDAV endpoint with basic authentication. This server enables Claude Desktop and other MCP clients to interact with WebDAV file systems through natural language commands.

How to use WebDAV MCP Server?

Install via npm global (npm install -g webdav-mcp-server), from source, or via Docker. Configure by setting environment variables in a .env file (e.g., WEBDAV_ROOT_URL, WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH). Run with webdav-mcp-server for stdio transport (Claude Desktop) or webdav-mcp-server --http for HTTP/SSE transport. For Claude Desktop integration, add the server configuration to claude_desktop_config.json.

Key features of WebDAV MCP Server

CRUD operations on files and directories
stdio (Claude Desktop) and HTTP/SSE transports
Optional basic authentication for WebDAV and MCP
bcrypt-encrypted passwords for MCP server auth
Connection pooling for performance
Configuration validation with Zod

Use cases of WebDAV MCP Server

Manage files on remote WebDAV servers via natural language
Automate file operations in Claude Desktop workflows
Securely access WebDAV with basic auth from AI assistants
Enable file CRUD operations in custom MCP clients

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js 18 or later, npm or yarn, and a WebDAV server for actual file operations.

Can I use encrypted passwords?

The WebDAV password must be in plain text due to protocol requirements. However, the MCP server authentication password can be a bcrypt hash (prefixed with `{bcrypt}`) for enhanced security.

How do I integrate with Claude Desktop?

Add the server configuration to your `claude_desktop_config.json` with the command (e.g., `npx webdav-mcp-server`) and required environment variables (`WEBDAV_ROOT_URL`, `WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH`, etc.).

What transports are available?

The server supports stdio transport (default, ideal for Claude Desktop) and HTTP/SSE transport (enabled with the `--http` flag for remote access).

Where does the WebDAV server data persist?

When using the provided Docker Compose setup, files are stored in a Docker volume named `webdav_data`, which persists across container restarts.
