Dropbox MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Manage cloud storage via Dropbox — list folders, search files, handle shared links, and monitor space usage directly from any AI agent.

12 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Dropbox account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud storage and file management through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Directory Orchestration — Iterate through explicitly nested directory items mapping native paths and analyzing contents returning names, tags, and server-modified times
  • Metadata Inspection — Fetch absolute precise metadata bindings for exact native objects isolating unique IDs, hashes, and byte sizes natively
  • File Discovery — Execute structural query matches leveraging V2 search boundaries to find files by name securely against indexed representations
  • Shared Link Management — Extract exposed URLs explicitly tracking active public or restricted boundaries granting file downloads over sharing APIs
  • Shared Folder Auditing — Isolate specifically nested directories governed under explicit organizational or cross-tenant permissions mapped internally
  • Space & Usage Monitoring — Validate physical allocation blocks returning byte usage (used vs total) bounding physical server storage capacity
  • Namespace Management — Reveal inbound shared spaces unmounted preventing synchronization and retrieve unmounted namespace IDs securely
  • Account Oversight — Interrogate underlying tokens resolving precise user contexts including name, email, and account type bound natively

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Dropbox Generated Access Token (found in your Dropbox App Console > Settings > OAuth 2)
  3. Start managing your files from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Knowledge Workers — search for documents and manage shared links without leaving the chat interface
  • Developers — test and debug file storage integrations and verify metadata schemas through natural conversation
  • Project Managers — audit shared folders and monitor team storage usage using natural language
  • Ops Teams — verify account details and manage unmounted shared spaces in real-time

List files in my '/Projects/2024' folder

Retrieving items from '/Projects/2024'... I found 5 files: 'Plan.pdf', 'Budget.xlsx', and 3 images. Would you like to see the metadata for the planning document?

Search for any files containing 'invoice' in their name

Searching for 'invoice'... I found 3 matches: 'Invoice_Jan.pdf', 'Invoice_Feb.pdf', and 'Old_Invoices.zip'. Which one would you like more details on?

Show me my Dropbox storage usage

Retrieving storage info... You are using 1.2 GB of your 2.0 GB total capacity (60% used). You have approximately 800 MB of space remaining.

Yes. Use the 'list_folder' tool. Provide the folder path (use an empty string for the root). The agent will return an array of items including names, types, and modification dates.
