Bring File Sync
to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Dropbox to Cursor and start using all 8 AI tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code. No hosting, no server setup — just connect and start using.
Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the 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.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Dropbox Generated Access Token (found in your Dropbox App Console > Settings > OAuth 2)
- Start managing your files from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Knowledge Workers — search for documents and manage shared links without leaving the chat interface
- Developers — test and debug file storage integrations and verify metadata schemas through natural conversation
- Project Managers — audit shared folders and monitor team storage usage using natural language
- Ops Teams — verify account details and manage unmounted shared spaces in real-time

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Dropbox into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Dropbox and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 8 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent list files in a specific Dropbox folder?
Yes. Use the 'list_folder' tool. Provide the folder path (use an empty string for the root). The agent will return an array of items including names, types, and modification dates.
How do I find a file by its name through natural conversation?
Use the 'search_files' tool. Provide your query string, and the agent will execute a structural match against your indexed Dropbox files, returning the most relevant results.
Can I check how much storage space I have left via the agent?
Absolutely. The 'get_space_usage' tool retrieves your physical allocation blocks. It will show you exactly how many bytes are used versus your total account capacity.
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.
