WebDAV MCP Server

Features

Connect to any WebDAV server with optional authentication
Perform CRUD operations on files and directories
Expose file operations as MCP resources and tools
Run via stdio transport (for Claude Desktop integration) or HTTP/SSE transport
Secure access with optional basic authentication
Support for bcrypt-encrypted passwords for MCP server authentication (WebDAV passwords must be plain text due to protocol limitations)
Connection pooling for better performance with WebDAV servers
Configuration validation using Zod
Structured logging for better troubleshooting

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or later
npm or yarn
WebDAV server (for actual file operations)

Installation

Option 1: Install from npm package

# Global installation
npm install -g webdav-mcp-server

# Or with npx
npx webdav-mcp-server

Option 2: Clone and build from source

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/webdav-mcp-server.git
cd webdav-mcp-server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the application
npm run build

Option 3: Docker

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t webdav-mcp-server .

# Run the container without authentication
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
  -e WEBDAV_ROOT_URL=http://your-webdav-server \
  -e WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH=/webdav \
  webdav-mcp-server
  
# Run the container with authentication for both WebDAV and MCP server
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
  -e WEBDAV_ROOT_URL=http://your-webdav-server \
  -e WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH=/webdav \
  -e WEBDAV_AUTH_ENABLED=true \
  -e WEBDAV_USERNAME=admin \
  -e WEBDAV_PASSWORD=password \
  -e AUTH_ENABLED=true \
  -e AUTH_USERNAME=user \
  -e AUTH_PASSWORD=pass \
  webdav-mcp-server

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

# WebDAV configuration
WEBDAV_ROOT_URL=http://localhost:4080
WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH=/webdav

# WebDAV authentication (optional)
WEBDAV_AUTH_ENABLED=true
WEBDAV_USERNAME=admin

# WebDAV password must be plain text (required when auth enabled)
# The WebDAV protocol requires sending the actual password to the server
WEBDAV_PASSWORD=password

# Server configuration (for HTTP mode)
SERVER_PORT=3000

# Authentication configuration for MCP server (optional)
AUTH_ENABLED=true
AUTH_USERNAME=user
AUTH_PASSWORD=pass
AUTH_REALM=MCP WebDAV Server

# Auth password for MCP server can be a bcrypt hash (unlike WebDAV passwords)
# AUTH_PASSWORD={bcrypt}$2y$10$CyLKnUwn9fqqKQFEbxpZFuE9mzWR/x8t6TE7.CgAN0oT8I/5jKJBy

Encrypted Passwords for MCP Server Authentication

For enhanced security of the MCP server (not WebDAV connections), you can use bcrypt-encrypted passwords instead of storing them in plain text:

Generate a bcrypt hash:

# Using the built-in utility
npm run generate-hash -- yourpassword

# Or with npx
npx webdav-mcp-generate-hash yourpassword

Add the hash to your .env file with the {bcrypt} prefix:

AUTH_PASSWORD={bcrypt}$2y$10$CyLKnUwn9fqqKQFEbxpZFuE9mzWR/x8t6TE7.CgAN0oT8I/5jKJBy

This way, your MCP server password is stored securely. Note that WebDAV passwords must always be in plain text due to protocol requirements.

Usage

Running with stdio transport

This mode is ideal for direct integration with Claude Desktop.

# If installed globally
webdav-mcp-server

# If using npx
npx webdav-mcp-server

# If built from source
node dist/index.js

Running with HTTP/SSE transport

This mode enables the server to be accessed over HTTP with Server-Sent Events for real-time communication.

# If installed globally
webdav-mcp-server --http

# If using npx
npx webdav-mcp-server --http

# If built from source
