Box MCP
the six Ws · specification
Enterprises storing documents in Box who want AI agents to search and read that content.
A Box-maintained MCP server that lets agents search, read, upload, and extract metadata from files stored in Box.
Available as a self-hosted server or Box's hosted remote MCP endpoint reachable over HTTPS.
Used when an agent needs to pull contract text, extract metadata, or file new documents during a workflow.
Gives agents governed access to enterprise files without exporting them out of Box's compliance boundary.
Requires a Box OAuth 2.0 app or JWT service account with scopes for the target folders.
Official server maintained under the box-community GitHub organization backed by Box, open source, MIT license; OAuth credentials can read and write real enterprise files, so scopes should be limited to needed folders.
