Frequently asked questions about the Dropbox Paper MCP Server
Can my agent create a new Paper document with Markdown content?
Yes. Use the 'create_document' tool. Provide the destination path and your Markdown text. The agent will parse the boundaries and generate a rendered '.paper' artifact in your Dropbox account.
How do I search across all my Paper documents via chat?
Use the 'search_files' tool. It executes deep full-text indexing queries specifically filtering for '.paper' files, allowing you to find content across your entire workspace through natural language.
Can I move a Paper document to a different folder through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'move_file' tool. Provide the current 'from_path' and the new 'to_path'. The agent will transmit a logical atomic operation to relocate the document safely while maintaining its unique ID.
