At Box, we believe your most valuable enterprise content should power every AI tool and agent you use.
While LLMs and agents have a growing array of capabilities, their impact is limited without a secure and reliable connection to the unique business context that exists within your documents. Historically, providing this context required constantly uploading sensitive files to different AI systems, which is not only inefficient but creates significant security risks. We’ve been simplifying this connection since the launch of the Box MCP server. By acting as a single, standardized bridge, the Box MCP server connects your AI agents to your important documents while respecting your existing Box security and access policies.
Through a wave of new integrations with Figma, Atlassian, Superhuman, and Cursor, the Box MCP server serves as the secure content layer that grounds the AI ecosystem. Leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard, the Box MCP server allows platforms and custom agents to connect and work automatically with your content. This eliminates the need for complex, one-off integrations and allows you toground your AI ecosystem in a single source of truth for unstructured data.
A comprehensive ecosystem for intelligent work
The Box MCP server serves as a governed bridge across several key categories of the enterprise AI landscape, powering a variety of use cases and ensuring your content is actionable wherever your teams work.
Leading AI Assistants
We provide a secure, live connection to the world’s most powerful conversational assistants. Through the Box MCP server, you can engage with your content in Claude — either directly within Claude chat including support for MCP Apps, or via integrations with Excel and PowerPoint; and Mistral Le Chat. These integrations enable teams to perform complex analysis across multiple documents — for example, extracting structured metadata from contracts or generating high-quality drafts from proprietary financial reports — while Box keeps the source files protected.
Product Development Lifecycle
We’re bringing Box content directly into the specialized tools where product, design, and engineering teams live. Our integration for Figma Make allows teams to ground their AI-powered design experiences in real files and hubs—like PRDs, user research, and company design guidelines—without ever leaving their design environment. Similarly, our partnership with Atlassian bridges the gap between your unstructured data and the Atlassian ecosystem. By connecting to the Atlassian Rovo MCP Gallery and utilizing the Assign to Agent feature in Jira, teams can now @mention Box-powered agents to draft, summarize, or execute tasks informed by the canonical documentation already stored in Box.
Developer Productivity and Engineering Tools
We’re breaking down the barriers for engineers building the next generation of AI applications. Tools like LangChain Agent Builder, OpenAI Agent Builder, and Microsoft Foundry provide developers with a robust framework to build custom agents grounded in Box content. By using them with the Box MCP server, you can orchestrate complex multi-step tasks like analyzing entire project repositories or automating document-heavy workflows. This complements our integrations with Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, which deliver context-aware code suggestions to developers using technical specifications and proprietary API guides stored securely in Box.
Enterprise Platforms and Workflow Automation
Box is deepening its reach into the platforms that run the modern enterprise. By supporting Claude Cowork, Amazon Quick Suite, ServiceNow Agent Marketplace, and Microsoft Copilot Studio, we enable you to create automated workflows that securely leverage Box content. For instance, using Claude Cowork plugins, you can automatically run a risk analysis on incoming contracts or NDAs by comparing them against your existing agreements and risk criteria stored in Box before routing them for approval or signature. In addition, the Box agent in Amazon Quick Suite can help you manage your contentwith natural language —creating project folders or analyzing new contracts—while maintaining a closed-loop, secure workflow that saves results directly back to Box.
Identity-Enforced Governance and Secure Agent Access
To make AI work effectively at scale, Box has partnered with Runlayer to provide identity-enforced access to the content that runs your business. The Box MCP server is available in the Runlayer marketplace, featuring automated identity enforcement, audit logging, and security scanning. This allows teams to build agentic workflows and query Box content while preserving existing access controls and maintaining full audit trails. For regulated industries, this partnership adds critical protections against prompt injection, tool poisoning, and unauthorized data access.
