## About

Dropbox's official remote MCP server (beta) gives AI clients access to Dropbox files: browse folders, search, read content and metadata, create, copy, move, and delete files, manage shared links and file requests, and work with Paper docs. It authenticates through Dropbox OAuth. Dropbox also offers a separate Dash MCP server.

## Install

1. **Connect it in ChatGPT** Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT (Settings → Security and login), open Plugins, select + and paste https://mcp.dropbox.com/mcp as the MCP server URL, then sign in with OAuth. Add it to a chat from the composer's tools menu.

2. **Or add it to Codex or the API**

   Codex CLI:

   ```bash
   codex mcp add dropbox --url https://mcp.dropbox.com/mcp
   codex mcp login dropbox
   ```

   config.toml:

   ```toml
   [mcp_servers.dropbox]
   url = "https://mcp.dropbox.com/mcp"
   ```
