About Box

This is a community-maintained MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents to securely interact with enterprise content stored in Box. Developed by the Box community, it provides a comprehensive set of tools for file and folder operations, collaboration management, metadata and search, document generation, task management, user and group management, shared links, and AI-powered queries. The server supports multiple authentication methods (OAuth 2.0, JWT, CCG) and transport modes (stdio, SSE, HTTP). Note: This repository is discontinued and no longer maintained. Box now offers an officially supported hosted MCP server with the best experience and full functionality. Users are encouraged to migrate.
