Dropbox + ChatGPT

Manage Dropbox (file storage: list, download, upload, move, copy, delete, search, share, 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:

DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID, DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET, DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Dropbox API v2 (api.dropboxapi.com).

Setup — OAuth2:

  1. Register at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/appsCreate app → 'Scoped access' → 'App folder' or 'Full Dropbox' depending on need.
  2. Add the scopes you need (files.metadata.read, files.content.read, files.content.write, sharing.write, ...).
  3. Generate a Refresh token via OAuth flow with token_access_type=offline.
  4. Set DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID, DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET, DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Authentication: OAuth2 refresh handled by engine. Sends Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_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

Schritt 3 — Connector in ChatGPT hinzufügen

  2. Klicke "Add custom connector".
  3. Trage ein:
    • Name: Dropbox

    • Authentication: Bearer Token → MCP-API-Key einfügen (aus AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
