CardDAV address books

io.github.ni-c/carddav-mcpv0.1.0Other

Read and write CardDAV address books: contacts, groups and photos over the open standard

The current version, v0.1.0, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-09-06. It is distributed as @ni-c/carddav-mcp on npm and as the Docker image ghcr.io/ni-c/carddav-mcp:0.1.0, filed under Other by this index, and declares 12 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using CardDAV address books in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire

Trust verdict · v1 advisory · method

NOT YET SCREENEDno verdict on file

Verdict not yet evaluated for this tool. The semantic screen takes adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands (15/150 labels to graduation). The deterministic conformance probe is built but has not yet run on the public corpus, so a recorded verdict here is REVIEW or UNVERIFIED, never a clearing ALLOW. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: the eval, four-state verdict, honest limits.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-06).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins CardDAV address books’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Environment variables

CARDDAV_URL

required

Root of the CardDAV server, e.g. https://dav.example.net. An address book collection URL also works.

CARDDAV_USERNAME

Account name. Most hosted services want an app-specific password with it.

CARDDAV_PASSWORD

secret

Password or app-specific password. Deleted from the environment once read.

CARDDAV_TOKEN

secret

Bearer token, as an alternative to username and password. Not both.

CARDDAV_ADDRESSBOOKS

Comma-separated address books this server may touch, by path or final path segment. Default: all of them.

CARDDAV_MAX_CONTACTS

Contacts a listing returns by default, 1 to 500 (default: 100)

CARDDAV_READ_ONLY

Set to true to register only the read tools (default: false)

CARDDAV_INSECURE_TLS

Set to true to accept a self-signed certificate on the configured host only (default: false)

CARDDAV_ALLOW_PLAINTEXT

Set to true to allow a plain http:// URL to a host that is not loopback, which sends the credentials and every contact unencrypted (default: false)

CARDDAV_ALLOW_TOOLS

Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to register; 'essential' selects a curated preset (default: all tools)

CARDDAV_DENY_TOOLS

Comma-separated tool names or list_* prefixes to remove from whatever the allow list left

ELICITATION

Deliberately unprefixed, and reaches every MCP server in the environment. Set to false to make guarded tools use the two-call token instead of a dialog (default: true)

CARDDAV_URL

required

Root of the CardDAV server, e.g. https://dav.example.net. An address book collection URL also works.

CARDDAV_USERNAME

Account name. Most hosted services want an app-specific password with it.

CARDDAV_PASSWORD

secret

Verdict API

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 965,720). Verify it yourself.
