Box MCP Server (Remote)
Securely connect MCP-compatible agents to your Box content and Box AI—without moving data out of Box.
Endpoint:
https://mcp.box.com
Overview
The remote Box MCP server lets AI agent platforms (e.g., Copilot Studio, Claude, Mistral Le Chat) connect to Box to securely query and use Box data and AI-powered tools, while keeping content protected. Authorization is handled via OAuth so users can grant controlled access from within the client they’re using.

Capabilities
The remote Box MCP server provides tools across several areas, such as:
- User info (e.g., identify the authenticated user)
- File and folder operations (read content, list folders, search files/folders, etc.)
- Box AI tools (Q&A across files, metadata extraction, etc.)
For the complete and most up-to-date set of supported tools, see the remote Box MCP server documentation.
Setup
To connect an MCP client to the remote Box MCP server, you’ll first configure an OAuth app in Box, then use its credentials in your client. The preferred path is to use the predefined Box MCP Server integration in the Admin Console, but in certain flows (e.g., the GitHub MCP registry), you may need to create your own OAuth app in the Developer Console instead.
