listing.about

Connects an assistant to Box content. It can search, read and manage files and folders, and it can use Box AI features to answer questions about documents. Access follows the signed-in user's existing Box permissions.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.box.com with OAuth. An admin enables the Box MCP server in the Box Admin Console under Integrations. For clients that need credentials, the admin creates integration credentials (client ID and secret) and selects access scopes. The docgen scope requires an Enterprise Advanced license.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http box https://mcp.box.com
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick box and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Box sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Box and paste this URL:
https://mcp.box.com
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Box asks.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

Add to claude.ai a11y.new_tab

  1. Check that the URL reads https://mcp.box.com and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when Box asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://mcp.box.com as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Box to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "box": {
      "url": "https://mcp.box.com"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"box","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.box.com"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "box": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.box.com"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "box": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.box.com"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add box --url https://mcp.box.com
codex mcp login box

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.box]
url = "https://mcp.box.com"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http box https://mcp.box.com

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth box to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "box": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.box.com"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.box.com.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/box into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mcp.box.com, so your client talks to Box directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Box need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Box account. The first time your client connects, it opens Box's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Box a remote or a local server?

Remote. Box hosts it at https://mcp.box.com, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Box do?

You can search files and folders in Box, read file content and manage files and folders.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Box's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
