FAQ from WebDAV MCP Server

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js 18 or later, npm or yarn, and a WebDAV server for actual file operations.

Can I use encrypted passwords?

The WebDAV password must be in plain text due to protocol requirements. However, the MCP server authentication password can be a bcrypt hash (prefixed with {bcrypt}) for enhanced security.

How do I integrate with Claude Desktop?

Add the server configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json with the command (e.g., npx webdav-mcp-server) and required environment variables (WEBDAV_ROOT_URL, WEBDAV_ROOT_PATH, etc.).

What transports are available?

The server supports stdio transport (default, ideal for Claude Desktop) and HTTP/SSE transport (enabled with the --http flag for remote access).

Where does the WebDAV server data persist?

When using the provided Docker Compose setup, files are stored in a Docker volume named webdav_data, which persists across container restarts.
