The past week or so there's been quite a few posts about some new MCP Server (Model Context Protocol). I want to join in on the fun and show a mcp server that I made.

It really started last Wednesday. During the day I realized that I really needed a webdav server on my slightly over-engineered home setup. I'm pretty sure it was to store Homeassistant backups.

I hadn't heard about Webdav for ages - but how hard can it be to spin up a server. Adding a config, restarting nginx and it worked. I could upload files from my phone and so on.

I connected HA to the server - worked too - ran a backup - but it didn't upload? After an hour+ of circling around, I found that nginx's webdav module only supports a subset of the protocol.

Of course Homeassistant used some of that other part of the protocol too. Down the hole again. I found a golang project with Dockerfile. Less than ~30 min later it was all running.

It had only taken 2 hours-ish in total. What else to do.. Webdav is actually kind of cool, fileshare, port 443, extension of http.

The night before I had been reading about "codename goose" and remembered something, model-context-protocol from anthropic months ago. I read more repos and docs until 2am while my girlfriend slept on the couch.

An idea came to mind, what about a mcp webdav server so models can do CRUD through webdav, potentially even auto-create websites. I remembered Claude Desktop had built-in mcp servers that just needed enabling.

A few months ago I subscribed to Claude Pro - hadn't used it much, but kept the subscription. It was better at coding than alternatives when I needed to write in unfamiliar languages.

I've been writing code for 25+ years. Every time I've asked for code from AI models - no joy - like an over-confident junior dev repeating the same mistakes.

I enabled dev settings, added filesystem, sequential thinking, and fetch mcp's to Claude Desktop.

Then I created a project, mcp-webdav-server. Brief description, short prompt: Fetch mcp docs, analyze and suggest architecture for a mcp webdav server.

After a few permission prompts, Claude wrote a readme, then code and scripts.

It was done in minutes - with code, docs and all. I skimmed through, ran npm install, then npm run build. 5 build errors. I pasted errors back. Files updated. It built.

In that moment I felt something - I listed things to improve. Claude refactored and made a changelog. A few iterations and done.

I added the server to claude config - it worked. Claude could create, update, download and delete files. I fixed some name clashes with the filesystem mcp.

I packaged the code, tested again with basic authentication. It authenticated each request, so I asked for a fix. In minutes it implemented a connection pool.

Pushed the package. Updated claude config to use npx, it worked.

Since then I've changed how I work. I do things every day that would have taken me ages just over a week ago.

Yesterday, full ntopng setup, a mitm proxy for Tuya devices - no luck - they're secure now. I was disappointed to jump down that rabbit hole without warning. But I had asked Claude to hold my hand while jumping.

Learning has become really fast. Claude might soon jump down rabbit holes without wanting to hold hands. I wonder if I'll be left standing or if I'll find something else to do.

Check out "my" mcp webdav server on Github that I sort of made - it works and is really well documented.

Not by any means saying there haven’t been increasingly impressive technical achievements in the last decade or so, but most of it feels like it's built to serve the Web 2.0/5G tech landscape rather than redefine it. With phones capable of streaming high-quality video, it kind of seems like both the phone and the web are in their final forms. For how fast-paced the growth of the internet and tech was from the turn of the millennium to the mid-2010s, it feels like we’re stuck with what we’ve got for the foreseeable future. Am I off base here?
