About Dropbox MCP Server
Connect your Dropbox account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud storage and file management through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Dropbox tool infrastructure. Connect 8 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Directory Orchestration — Iterate through explicitly nested directory items mapping native paths and analyzing contents returning names, tags, and server-modified times
- Metadata Inspection — Fetch absolute precise metadata bindings for exact native objects isolating unique IDs, hashes, and byte sizes natively
- File Discovery — Execute structural query matches leveraging V2 search boundaries to find files by name securely against indexed representations
- Shared Link Management — Extract exposed URLs explicitly tracking active public or restricted boundaries granting file downloads over sharing APIs
- Shared Folder Auditing — Isolate specifically nested directories governed under explicit organizational or cross-tenant permissions mapped internally
- Space & Usage Monitoring — Validate physical allocation blocks returning byte usage (used vs total) bounding physical server storage capacity
- Namespace Management — Reveal inbound shared spaces unmounted preventing synchronization and retrieve unmounted namespace IDs securely
- Account Oversight — Interrogate underlying tokens resolving precise user contexts including name, email, and account type bound natively
The Dropbox MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
