Box + ChatGPT

Manage Box (enterprise content: files, folders, collaborations, comments, tasks, metadata) from any AI agent. 10 tools, OAuth2 token.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

BOX_CLIENT_ID, BOX_CLIENT_SECRET, BOX_REFRESH_TOKEN

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Box Content API v2 (api.box.com/2.0).

Setup — OAuth2:

  1. Register at https://app.box.com/developers/consoleCreate New App → 'OAuth 2.0 with JWT' or 'OAuth 2.0 with User Authentication'.
  2. For user OAuth: complete the auth flow at https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=....
  3. Exchange the code at https://api.box.com/oauth2/token. Save the refresh_token.
  4. For JWT (server auth): generate an enterprise-level access token differently — out of scope for this OAuth-based adapter.
  5. Set BOX_CLIENT_ID, BOX_CLIENT_SECRET, BOX_REFRESH_TOKEN.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

    • Name: Box
