From the repository

- A Dropbox account
- Claude Desktop application
- Go 1.21 or higher (only for building from source)

``bash brew tap ngs/tap brew install dropbox-mcp

bash

go install go.ngs.io/dropbox-mcp@latest



Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:



macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json



json

{

  "mcpServers": {

    "dropbox": {

      "command": "dropbox-mcp",

      "env": {

        "DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID": "your_app_key_here",

        "DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_app_secret_here"

      }

    }

  }

}





Note: 

- If you installed via Homebrew or placed the binary in

/usr/local/bin, you can use just "command": "dropbox-mcp"



- If you built from source or downloaded to a custom location, use the full path:

"command": "/path/to/dropbox-mcp"


After configuration, restart Claude Desktop and verify the server is connected:





When you first use the Dropbox MCP server in Claude:



1. Use the dropbox_auth tool to authenticate

2. Your browser will open to Dropbox's authorization page

3. Log in and authorize the app

4. You'll be redirected to a success page

5. The authentication token will be saved to ~/.dropbox-mcp/config.json
- dropbox_auth - Authenticate with Dropbox

- dropbox_check_auth - Check authentication status

- Ensure redirect URI is correctly configured in Dropbox App Console

- Check that client ID and secret are correct

- Try deleting ~/.dropbox-mcp/config.json and re-authenticating

bash

go test ./...

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
