Box MCP: Documentation
Updated:
Connection
Remote: https://mcp.box.com (Streamable HTTP), authorizing via OAuth 2.0 to your Box account on first connection from an MCP client. Nothing to install locally.
Tools
40+ tools across groups: search (search_files_keyword, search_files_metadata, search_folders_by_name), reading (get_file_content, get_file_details, get_folder_details, get_download_url), writing (create_folder, upload_file, copy_file, move_file), collaboration (create_file_comment, create_collaboration, list_tasks) and Box AI (ai_qa_single_file, ai_qa_multi_file, ai_extract_freeform, ai_extract_structured).
Agent flow
"Find every contract mentioning X from this year", "compare payment terms across these files and find discrepancies", "extract amounts and dates from this invoice into a table", "leave a comment on the file with the review summary".
Pricing
The MCP server is free as part of a Box account. Box AI features (extraction, Q&A) draw down Box AI limits per your subscription tier; the older open-source Box server has been replaced by this hosted version and is no longer developed.
