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

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
