Install
1Add the server to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http box https://mcp.box.com2Sign in
Run /mcp in Claude Code and complete the login flow for this server.
These instructions target Claude Code. Check the publisher's documentation for support in other Claude surfaces; a valid server URL alone does not establish compatibility.
