Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

Box + Meta Muse
Manage Box (enterprise content: files, folders, collaborations, comments, tasks, metadata) from any AI agent. 10 tools, OAuth2 token.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
BOX_CLIENT_ID, BOX_CLIENT_SECRET, BOX_REFRESH_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Box Content API v2 (api.box.com/2.0).
Setup — OAuth2:
- Register at https://app.box.com/developers/console → Create New App → 'OAuth 2.0 with JWT' or 'OAuth 2.0 with User Authentication'.
- For user OAuth: complete the auth flow at
https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=.... - Exchange the code at
https://api.box.com/oauth2/token. Save the refresh_token. - For JWT (server auth): generate an enterprise-level access token differently — out of scope for this OAuth-based adapter.
- Set
BOX_CLIENT_ID,BOX_CLIENT_SECRET,BOX_REFRESH_TOKEN.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Muse
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Muse adds remote MCP servers as custom connectors and signs in to them with OAuth.
- In Muse, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID. - Muse opens the AnythingMCP sign-in page: sign in and approve access.
- In a chat, ask Muse for something that needs the
Boxtools.
You can also set it up from a chat, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps or in WhatsApp. Send Muse this message:
Create a Custom Connector for a new remote MCP server, then connect to it:
Name: AnythingMCP
Transport: remote streamable HTTP
URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID
Auth: OAuth
Self-hosting? Use your instance's public HTTPS address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com. Muse connects from Meta's cloud, so localhost does not work.

FAQ
Where is Muse available? Meta currently offers Muse in the US and Canada, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps and in WhatsApp.
Does Meta review this connector? No. Meta doesn't review custom connectors. Muse sees only the tools you switched on for this MCP server in AnythingMCP, and you can disconnect it anytime under Settings → Connectors.
