Box

What is Box?

The remote Box MCP server lets MCP-compatible AI agents securely connect to Box content and Box AI tools without moving data out of Box. It is an OAuth-protected endpoint at https://mcp.box.com designed for platforms like Copilot Studio, Claude, and Mistral Le Chat.

How to use Box?

First configure an OAuth app in Box via the Admin Console or Developer Console, then connect your MCP client using the endpoint URL https://mcp.box.com and the OAuth credentials (client ID, client secret, redirect URI). Clients will guide you through the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain a Bearer token.
