Overview

What is WebDAV MCP Server?

WebDAV MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables CRUD operations on a WebDAV endpoint with basic authentication. It allows 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 (npm install -g webdav-mcp-server), clone and build from source, or use Docker. Configure environment variables in a .env file (e.g., WEBDAV_ROOT_URL, WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH, optional credentials). Run with webdav-mcp-server for stdio transport (default) or webdav-mcp-server --http for HTTP/SSE transport. Integrate with Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json with the appropriate command and environment variables.

FAQ from WebDAV MCP Server

What is the difference between WebDAV password and MCP server password?

WebDAV passwords must be plain text because the WebDAV protocol requires sending the actual password to the server. MCP server passwords can be stored as bcrypt-encrypted hashes with a {bcrypt} prefix for enhanced security.

What transports are available?

Two transports are supported: stdio (default, for Claude Desktop integration) and HTTP/SSE (enable with --http flag for remote access with real-time communication).

How do I install WebDAV MCP Server?

Install globally via npm (npm install -g webdav-mcp-server), run with npx (npx webdav-mcp-server), clone and build from source, or use the provided Docker image.

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js 18 or later, npm or yarn, and access to a WebDAV server for actual file operations. Optional: Docker for containerized deployment.

How is authentication handled?

WebDAV authentication is optional and uses basic auth (plaintext password). MCP server authentication is also optional; passwords can be plain text or bcrypt hashes. HTTP mode supports a realm for the MCP server.
