Box MCP connector
Updated
Box is a cloud content management platform for storing, sharing, and collaborating on files and folders. The Box MCP connector allows AI agents to manage collaboration domain allowlists, control user exemptions from domain restrictions, and oversee pending collaboration requests. It also supports broader file and folder management tasks, enabling agents to authorize users and coordinate content access across an organization's Box environment.
Authentication type
- OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code - Requires a one-time user login to authorize the agent to access the service on their behalf.
Uses
Use the Box MCP connector to perform the following actions:
- Authorize users securely to access Box content through OAuth 2.0
- Control external sharing by managing allowlisted collaboration domains
- Track file activity through enterprise-wide event logs and monitoring
- Coordinate teams with comments directly on shared files and folders
- Enforce compliance by placing legal holds on file versions
- Streamline external file collection with configurable file requests
- Restrict access with enterprise-wide device pin management
- Exempt specific users from collaboration domain restrictions when needed
Example prompts
Use the following example prompts to invoke Box MCP connector tools from your AI assistant or Boomi Connect workflow:
Show me all pending collaborations waiting for approval in Box.Add example.com to the list of allowed collaboration domains in Box.Who is exempt from our Box collaboration domain restrictions.Create a comment on the quarterly report file in Box.List all device pins active in our Box enterprise.Get the details of the file request for the marketing folder in Box.Show me recent user activity events in Box for the past week.Remove the collaboration for the finance folder in Box.Update the file request deadline for the vendor upload in Box.List all collections available in my Box account.
