Today, at Microsoft Ignite, Box is thrilled to announce that the Box MCP server is a launch partner for the newly branded Microsoft Foundry and Windows on-device registry. This deepens our collaboration with Microsoft, enabling enterprises to securely connect their Box content to the Microsoft tools their teams use every day.
A seamless AI experience for Microsoft-native enterprises
Enterprise decision-makers who are heavy Microsoft users - with engineers on Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and analysts in Microsoft Copilot Studio - have a valid concern: will adopting Box create a disjointed experience?
Our deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem is designed to solve this exact problem. The Box MCP server unifies your agentic ecosystem with a secure content layer, eliminating the need for complex, one-off integrations. Now, you can get the full power of Box's secure, governable bridge directly within the Microsoft tools your teams are already comfortable with.
A single, secure content layer for your agentic ecosystem
The Box MCP server is the secure content layer for AI. It fundamentally simplifies how third-party AI agents securely interact with your content. Instead of building and managing dozens of complex custom integrations, users and developers can leverage this single, standardized bridge to enable critical use cases for any team.
This secure, governable bridge gives you the confidence to connect your AI ecosystem to your most valuable content. OAuth authentication and granular permissions ensure agents respect existing access policies, validating every interaction to give you complete control over how your content is used.
Secure AI context for every persona, across the Microsoft stack
This expanded collaboration provides secure entry points for every user persona, allowing them to use Box content across the entire range of Microsoft tools.
With the new Foundry Tools integration, engineers can build sophisticated agents hosted on Azure that securely use intelligence and context from their enterprise content in Box. Instead of building complex, one-off integrations to access proprietary data, developers can use the Box MCP server as a standardized, secure bridge. This allows them to build powerful agents that are grounded in your company's most valuable IP, all while ensuring Box's enterprise-grade security and permissions are strictly enforced.
The Windows on-device registry brings the power of Box AI directly to your users' desktops. This integration allows any enterprise user to intelligently engage with their Box content right from their local device. This creates a seamless experience, enabling users to query, summarize, and interact with content secured in Box without having to constantly switch applications. All interactions are governed by Box's granular permissions, ensuring users only access the content they are authorized to see.
The Box MCP Server in the GitHub MCP Registry significantly boosts developer productivity by securely connecting GitHub Copilot to your critical content in Box. It allows engineers to code more efficiently by providing context from product requirement documents, technical specifications, and other proprietary content. This means developers get more accurate, context-aware code suggestions without sensitive intellectual property ever having to be moved from the secure Box platform.
Our integration with Copilot Studio empowers analysts and low-code developers to create powerful, automated business workflows that leverage insights from Box content. Analysts can build custom Copilots that securely search, analyze, and draw information from documents stored in Box, such as contracts, reports, or financial statements. This allows you to automate complex business processes and unlock new insights, all without compromising your content governance.
