# 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. ## 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 ```bash # Global installation npm install -g webdav-mcp-server # Or with npx npx webdav-mcp-server ``` ### Option 2: Clone and build from source ```bash # 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 ```bash # 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: ```env # 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: 1. Generate a bcrypt hash: ```bash # Using the built-in utility npm run generate-hash -- yourpassword # Or with npx npx webdav-mcp-generate-hash yourpassword ``` 2. 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. ```bash # 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. ```bash # If installed globally webdav-mcp-server --http # If using npx npx webdav-mcp-server --http # If built from source node dist/index.js --http ``` ## Quick Start with Docker Compose The easiest way to get started with both the WebDAV server and the MCP server is to use Docker Compose: ```bash # Start both WebDAV and MCP servers cd docker docker-compose up -d # This will start: # - hacdias/webdav server on port 4080 (username: admin, password: admin) # - MCP server on port 3000 (username: user, password: pass) ``` This setup uses [hacdias/webdav](https://github.com/hacdias/webdav), a simple and standalone WebDAV server written in Go. The configuration for the WebDAV server is stored in `webdav_config.yml`, which you can modify to adjust permissions, add users, or change other settings. The WebDAV server stores all files in a Docker volume called `webdav_data`, which persists across container restarts. ## WebDAV Server Configuration The `webdav_config.yml` file configures the hacdias/webdav server used in the Docker Compose setup. Here's what you can customize: ```yaml # Server address and port address: 0.0.0.0 port: 6060 # Root data directory directory: /data # Enable/disable CORS cors: enabled: true # Additional CORS settings... # Default permissions (C=Create, R=Read, U=Update, D=Delete) permissions: CRUD # User definitions users: - username: admin password: admin # Plain text password permissions: CRUD # Full permissions - username: reader password: reader permissions: R # Read-only permissions # You can also use bcrypt-encrypted passwords - username: secure password: "{bcrypt}$2y$10$zEP6oofmXFeHaeMfBNLnP.DO8m.H.Mwhd24/TOX2MWLxAExXi4qgi" ``` For more advanced configuration options, refer to the [hacdias/webdav documentation](https://github.com/hacdias/webdav). ## Testing To run the tests: ```bash npm test ``` ## Integrating with Claude Desktop 1. Ensure the MCP feature is enabled in Claude Desktop
