We’re happy to announce that over the next few months we’ll be adding new tools to the Box MCP Server.
Immediate release (September 22)
- File upload: users must specify the destination folder. Uploads are limited to folders which are not externally shared to prevent data leaving enterprise boundaries.
- Create folder: AI Agents can create new folders using MCP Server.
Next toolsets (coming in the next few months)
- Hubs: list, create, update (subject to restrictions preventing external sharing)
- Files & folders: get/update folder description and name, upload new file versions (subject to restrictions preventing external sharing), get/update file description and name, download content
- Metadata: list metadata, get applied templates, find instances/templates by instance/ID/scope/key
- Collaboration & comments: list tasks and collaborations, add/list file comments
- AI Agents: find available AI Agents
Rollout and availability
- Releases are asynchronous and will be added when ready — no set dates.
- New tools automatically appear and are ready to be configured for enterprises with MCP Server enabled.
