Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Dropbox to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Dropbox works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Dropbox to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Dropbox, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Dropbox. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Dropbox owners ask.

  • 01

  • 02

    Can I rename files using this MCP?

    Yes. You can use the move_file capability to rename files or folders within your directory structure.

  • 03

    Is my data secure?

    The MCP uses your own Dropbox credentials and tokens to perform actions. Vinkius manages these credentials to ensure your agent can perform tasks securely.

  • 04

    What clients are compatible with this MCP?

    This MCP works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 05

    Can I create new folders through the chat?

    Yes. You can use the create_folder capability by providing the desired path, such as /new-folder-name.

  • 06

    Can my agent list files in a specific Dropbox folder?

    Yes. Use the 'list_folder' capability. 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.

  • 07

    How do I find a file by its name through natural conversation?

    Use the 'search_files' capability. Provide your query string, and the agent will execute a structural match against your indexed Dropbox files, returning the most relevant results.

  • 08

    Can I check how much storage space I have left via the agent?

    Absolutely. The 'get_space_usage' capability retrieves your physical allocation blocks. It will show you exactly how many bytes are used versus your total account capacity.
