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.

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 Paper 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 Paper 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 Paper, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Dropbox Paper owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Dropbox account?

    You need a Dropbox Generated Access Token. You can find this in your Dropbox App Console under Settings in the OAuth 2 section.

  • 02

    Can I create documents with formatting?

    Yes. You can provide Markdown content to the create_document capability, and it will be rendered as a Paper document.

  • 03

    Does this work with any AI client?

    It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    Can the AI see all my Dropbox files?

    The agent can access files and folders based on the permissions of the account you authenticate with.

  • 05

    Is my data hosted by Vinkius?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection and credentials so it is ready to use immediately.

  • 06

    Can my agent create a new Paper document with Markdown content?

    Yes. Use the 'create_document' capability. Provide the destination path and your Markdown text. The agent will parse the boundaries and generate a rendered '.paper' artifact in your Dropbox account.

  • 07

    How do I search across all my Paper documents via chat?

    Use the 'search_files' capability. It executes deep full-text indexing queries specifically filtering for '.paper' files, allowing you to find content across your entire workspace through natural language.

  • 08

    Can I move a Paper document to a different folder through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the 'move_file' capability. 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.
