Use the Box MCP server
in Claude Code

Search and read documents and folders in your Box account. This guide connects Box to Claude Code (the terminal agent) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Box in Claude Code

Claude Code adds MCP servers via the `claude mcp add` command. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Box to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. In your terminal: claude mcp add gate https://gateturbo.com/api/mcp --transport http
  3. Approve the sign-in when Claude Code opens it in your browser.
  4. Box's tools now appear in every Claude Code session — with per-tool allow/ask/block rules if you want them.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Find the signed version of the vendor contract.”
“Summarize the Q3 planning document.”
“What's new in the legal folder?”
“List the files shared with me this month.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Box connection works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Box exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude Code did with Box — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Box passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
