Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables CRUD operations on a WebDAV endpoint with basic authentication.
If you already use WebDAV, the webdav mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables CRUD operations on a WebDAV endpoint with basic authentication.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
webdav_create_remote_file — Create a new file on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_get_remote_file — Retrieve content from a file stored on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_update_remote_file — Update an existing file on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_delete_remote_item — Delete a file or directory from a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_create_remote_directory — Create a new directory on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_move_remote_item — Move or rename a file/directory on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_copy_remote_item — Copy a file/directory to a new location on a remote WebDAV serverwebdav_list_remote_directory — List files and directories on a remote WebDAV servernpx on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Configuration is passed through the environment: WEBDAV_ROOT_URL, WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH, WEBDAV_USERNAME, WEBDAV_PASSWORD, WEBDAV_AUTH_ENABLED. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. WebDAV's toolset — webdav_create_remote_file, webdav_get_remote_file, webdav_update_remote_file and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by LaubPlusCo; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
