About Box MCP Server

Connect your Box account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud content management and enterprise collaboration workflows through natural conversation.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from Box through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Box, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

What you can do

  • Folder Orchestration — Navigate through your entire Box directory structure programmatically, listing folder items and retrieving high-fidelity metadata in real-time
  • File Lifecycle Management — Access detailed information about individual files, including version history, size, and high-fidelity descriptions directly through your agent
  • Collaboration Intelligence — Programmatically manage folder collaborations by inviting team members with specific roles (editor, viewer) to ensure perfectly coordinated access
  • Search & Discovery — Use semantic keywords to search for specific files and folders across your entire Box account to maintain a perfectly coordinated digital library
  • User Visibility — Retrieve complete profile information for the authenticated user and manage account-level metadata for instant operational reporting

The Box MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
