For developers building the next generation of AI applications, there is often a barrier to accessing high-quality, secure enterprise context. Today, we are excited to announce that the Box MCP server is now available in the new GitHub MCP registry, creating a secure, seamless bridge between your content in Box and the development tools you use every day. This integration makes it easier for developers to access Box tools when building applications on GitHub, connecting the world’s leading AI development platform with the secure content layer for the enterprise.
Unlocking enterprise content within your developer workflow
The most powerful AI agents are grounded in business context, but that context such as design documents, product specifications, proprietary IP, and internal knowledge is locked away in secure platforms like Box. This integration fundamentally changes that. The Box MCP server acts as a secure gateway that connects AI agents to your enterprise content in Box, and its availability in the GitHub MCP registry means you can now discover and enable it directly from VS Code.
MCP is opening up a new era of interoperability across enterprises. Box’s MCP server on the GitHub MCP Registry is a significant step toward building an open AI ecosystem, and makes it easier for users to leverage GitHub Copilot to securely access and leverage insights from content in Box.
Now you can stay in your flow state, building powerful applications with GitHub Copilot while leveraging a secure, live connection to your organization’s single source of truth for content. No more context switching or manually uploading sensitive files - just a streamlined workflow that boosts productivity and enhances security.
Key benefits include:
- Seamless integration: Discover and connect to the Box MCP server in seconds from the GitHub MCP registry within VS Code.
- Enterprise-grade security: Confidently connect your AI ecosystem to your most valuable content. The server acts as a governed bridge, enforcing Box’s native permissions, granular access policies, and governance rules for every interaction.
- Powerful AI tools: Supercharge your AI applications by enabling agents to perform advanced search, multi-file analysis, and metadata extraction across your Box files without custom integrations.
Putting it to work: A new way to build
With the Box MCP server available in the GitHub MCP registry, developers can now ground their AI-powered workflows in relevant, secure business content. Here are a few ways to put it to work:
- Accelerate onboarding: Instantly get new developers up to speed by allowing them to ask GitHub Copilot questions about internal coding standards, architectural diagrams, or API documentation stored securely in Box.
- Context-aware code generation: Generate more accurate and relevant code snippets by pointing Copilot to proprietary code libraries, product requirement documents, SDKs, and internal best-practices in Box, ensuring adherence to company-specific patterns.
- Streamline troubleshooting: When facing a bug, developers can ask Copilot to reference support wikis, post-mortems, and technical specifications stored in Box to quickly find solutions based on past incidents.
- Automate documentation: Create technical documentation, README files, or code comments faster by having Copilot summarize complex code functions with context from project requirement documents located in Box.
