The remote Box MCP Server allows third-party AI systems to securely connect and interact with your content in Box. It is built using Anthropic’s MCP (Model Context Protocol), a new standard for connecting AI agents to the systems, promoting AI interoperability. With a dedicated URL (mcp.box.com), Box allows external platforms that have also adopted MCP to plug in and work automatically with Box content. This makes building advanced integrations simpler and less time consuming.
Box MCP Server allows AI agents from 3rd party platforms to access Box content seamlessly while respecting your existing Box security permissions and access policies. It extends the agent’s capabilities by allowing it to perform actions related to content stored in Box.
In this GA release, the Box MCP Server will allow Agents to:
- Securely search through content in Box
- Perform multi-file AI analysis to extract insights across multiple documents simultaneously, including automatic metadata extraction
- Leverage Box AI multi-file query based on the default Box AI Agent for advanced search and retrieval across your files.
The Box MCP Server is available to Business plans and above. Note that you will only be able to use Box MCP Server AI tools available within your plan.
