Databricks’ setup process involves the following steps:
  1. Admin enablement in Box
  2. Admin enablement in Databricks
  3. End-user connection

​
Step 1: Configure Box integration

Admin
  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 the redirect URI provided by the external MCP Client.
  5. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret for later use. These are required later for the external MCP Client to authorize the connection.
  6. Check the Access scopes.
  7. Click Save.

​
Step 2: Configure connection in Databricks

Admin Follow Databricks’ documentation on how to enable MCP integrations for your workspace.

​
Step 3: Configure end-user connection

  2. Click Install in the upper-right corner and choose a name for your MCP server (for example, Box).
  3. Fill in the Client ID and Client Secret from Step 1, then click Install.
