What is the DropBox Alternative MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire cloud storage ecosystem with DropBox, the world's leading file hosting service. By connecting DropBox to your agent, you transform complex file management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list folder contents, audit file metadata, and search across your entire account without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are organizing team assets or managing personal backups, your agent acts as a real-time file operator, ensuring your data is always accessible and well-structured.
What you can do

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my DropBox Access Token?
Create a new app in the DropBox App Console and click 'Generate' under the 'Generated access token' section. Copy and paste it below.
Can the agent search for specific files?
Yes. Use the search_files tool providing a query string. Your agent will return all matching files and folders from your entire account instantly.
Is it possible to generate a shared link via the agent?
Yes. The create_shared_link tool allows your agent to generate a public URL for any file or folder by providing its path.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
