Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 10 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Dealing with permission sprawl is the worst part of corporate work.

Today, if your team needs to review a project file, you spend minutes navigating the directory tree. You open the folder in one tab, check the document history in another, and then send an email requesting that someone else grant 'editor' access—all while copying long IDs and pasting them into Slack.

With this MCP, your AI client handles all those steps automatically. Instead of clicking, you just tell it to add a team member with specific roles. It handles the complex permission logic instantly.

The Box MCP provides granular control over every file and folder.

You don't have to guess if a document exists. You can run `search_content` across the entire account, pulling up results even if you only remember a few keywords or the general topic.

It shifts the process from mechanical clicking and searching to direct instruction. Your AI agent acts as your gatekeeper for corporate knowledge.

What your AI can actually do with this

Managing documents across an organization is usually a mess of browser tabs and permission requests. This MCP lets you handle all that chaos by talking to your cloud content hub. You get full control over your company's files and folders right through natural language prompts. Need to know who has access to the Q3 budget folder? Just ask.

Want to find that specific invoice from last year, even if you don't remember the file name? Tell your agent what it was about, and it searches everything. It handles everything from listing all contents in a directory structure to adding new team members with precise roles like 'editor' or 'viewer'.

When you connect this MCP through Vinkius, your AI client acts as a dedicated digital librarian for your entire corporate network.

Questions you might have

How do I find a file using the search_content tool? +

You just ask your agent to search by keywords, even if you don't know the specific ID. It searches all content for matching terms and returns a list of candidates.

Can I use create_collaboration to restrict access? +

Yes. You specify the folder and then choose an exact role—editor, viewer, or previewer—so you control exactly what level of access they get.

Does list_folder_items show me file details? +

It lists all items inside a folder. If you need deeper data like version numbers or the SHA1 hash, you'll need to use get_file_info on that item.

What if I want to update a file name? +

Use the update_file tool. You point it at the existing file and tell it the new name or what metadata needs changing.

If I use the delete_folder tool, do I have to worry about nested items? +

Yes, you must set the recursive flag to true. If you skip that step, the MCP will not delete any contents inside the folder, preventing accidental data loss.

How do I verify my identity when using get_current_user? +

It retrieves your full profile details for confirmation. This confirms exactly who's running the MCP operation right now, which is critical for compliance and auditing purposes.

What specific technical data can I retrieve with get_file_info? +

The tool provides more than just metadata; you get the file size, SHA1 hash, and detailed version history. This gives your agent the full technical context of any document.

Can list_folder_items show me every item in my entire Box account? +

You must use ID "0" when calling this tool for the root folder. Using '0' ensures you can see all top-level items across your whole directory structure.

How do I find my Box Access Token? +

Log in to the Box Developer Console, select your app, and generate a Developer Token or use the OAuth settings to obtain an Access Token.

Can I search for content via AI? +

Yes! The search_content tool allows your agent to find files and folders across your entire account matching specific keywords.

How do I share a folder programmatically? +

Use the create_collaboration tool and provide the folder ID, the recipient's email (login), and their assigned role (e.g., 'editor', 'viewer').
