Box + Claude

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

前提条件

完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:

BOX_CLIENT_ID, BOX_CLIENT_SECRET, BOX_REFRESH_TOKEN

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

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)

步骤 2 — 安装 adapter

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

步骤 3 — 在 Claude 中添加连接器

推荐路径 — 在 claude.ai web 上工作,无需触碰任何配置文件。

  1. 打开 claude.ai/customize/connectors
  2. 点击 "Add custom connector"
  3. 填入:
    • Name: Box
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → 粘贴你的 MCP API key (来自 AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. 点击 Connect 授权。
