MCP.Pizza Chef: box-community

Discontinued and archived by Box in April 2026, it now points people at Box's own hosted service, which is easier to set up and properly supported. What remains is a large kit — 117 tools — covering search, reading and uploading files, folders, share links, labels, tasks, groups, and asking questions about what a document says. It can also delete a folder and everything inside it the moment it is asked, with no confirmation and no read-only setting.

mcp-server-box FAQ

Is this still supported?
No. Box discontinued it and archived the code in April 2026. Box now runs its own hosted MCP server and asks people to move to that, following its Box MCP setup guide.
Should I use this or the hosted one from Box?
Use the hosted one unless you specifically need it running on your own machine. This version still works but will get no fixes.
What do I need to set it up?
A Box developer app of your own plus its ID and secret, and comfort with the command line — cloning the code, installing the uv tool, and filling in a settings file. It is not a paste-one-snippet install.
Can I use this to find a document when I cannot remember its name?
Yes. You can search across your Box content and then ask questions about what a file contains.
Can it delete my files?
Yes, and this is worth knowing before you start. It can remove files, folders and everything inside them, share links, and labels, with no confirmation prompt and no read-only mode.
Will it see files I am not allowed to open?
No. It acts as whoever signed in, so it sees exactly what that person sees in Box and nothing more.
Do the question-answering tools work on any Box plan?
No. Those tools call Box's own built-in AI, so they only work if your Box plan includes it. Search, files, and folders work regardless.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop, either running quietly on your own machine or added as a custom connector over the web.
