- 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

AUTH_REALM=MCP WebDAV Server

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

1. Generate a bcrypt hash:

This mode is ideal for direct integration with Claude Desktop.

bash

webdav-mcp-server

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

The easiest way to get started with both the WebDAV server and the MCP server is to use Docker Compose:

bash

The webdav_config.yml file configures the hacdias/webdav server used in the Docker Compose setup. Here's what you can customize:


You can also use this package programmatically in your own projects:

javascript
import { startWebDAVServer } from 'webdav-mcp-server';

// For stdio transport without authentication
await startWebDAVServer({
webdavConfig: {
rootUrl: 'http://your-webdav-server',
rootPath: '/webdav',
authEnabled: false
},
useHttp: false
});

// For stdio transport with WebDAV authentication (password must be plain text)
await startWebDAVServer({
webdavConfig: {
rootUrl: 'http://your-webdav-server',
rootPath: '/webdav',
authEnabled: true,
username: 'admin',
password: 'password'
},
useHttp: false
});

// With bcrypt hash for MCP server password (HTTP auth only)
await startWebDAVServer({
webdavConfig: {
rootUrl: 'http://your-webdav-server',
rootPath: '/webdav',
authEnabled: true,
username: 'admin',
password: 'password' // WebDAV password must be plain text
},
useHttp: true,
httpConfig: {
port: 3000,
auth: {
enabled: true,
username: 'user',
password: '{bcrypt}$2y$10$CyLKnUwn9fqqKQFEbxpZFuE9mzWR/x8t6TE7.CgAN0oT8I/5jKJBy'
}
}
});

// For HTTP transport with MCP authentication
await startWebDAVServer({
webdavConfig: {
rootUrl: 'http://your-webdav-server',
rootPath: '/webdav',
authEnabled: true,
username: 'admin',
password: 'password'
},
useHttp: true,
httpConfig: {
port: 3000,
auth: {
enabled: true,
username: 'user',
password: 'pass',
realm: 'MCP WebDAV Server'
}
}
});

// For HTTP transport without authentication
await startWebDAVServer({
webdavConfig: {
rootUrl: 'http://your-webdav-server',
rootPath: '/webdav',
authEnabled: false
},
useHttp: true,
httpConfig: {
port: 3000,
auth: {
enabled: false
}
}
});
