Cursor

1. Admin enablement in Box
2. End-user connection

​

Step 1: Configure Box integration

1. Sign in to the Box Admin Console.
2. Go to Integrations and find Custom Box MCP Server either by using the MCP Category filter, or by using the search bar at the top of the page.
3. Go to Configuration > Add Integration Credentials to generate new credentials.
4. In Redirect URIs, change the Box redirect URIs to cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback.
5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret for later use. These are required later for Cursor to authorize the connection.
6. Check the Access scopes.
7. Click Save.

​

Step 2: Configure end-user connection

1. Go to Settings > Tools and MCPs > Add Custom MCP. After that, the mcp.json opens automatically.
2. Paste the configuration below, add your Client ID and Client Secret, and save the file.

    {
        "mcpServers": {
            "box": {
                "url": "https://mcp.box.com",
                "auth": {
                    "CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
                    "CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
                }
            }
        }
    }
