For Developer

Follow the instructions below to integrate Dropbox MCP server to your AI application using our API or SDK.

Prerequisites

• Create an API key

1. Create a Dropbox MCP Server

Use the following endpoint to create a new remote Dropbox MCP server instance:

Request

Python

from klavis import Klavis
from klavis.types import McpServerName

klavis_client = Klavis(api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>")

# Create a Dropbox MCP server instance
dropbox_server = klavis_client.mcp_server.create_server_instance(
    server_name=McpServerName.DROPBOX,
    user_id="<YOUR_USER_ID>",
    platform_name="<YOUR_PLATFORM_NAME>",
)

Response

SDK Response

{
  "serverUrl": "https://dropbox-mcp-server.klavis.ai/mcp/?instance_id=<instance-id>",
  "instanceId": "<instance-id>",
  "oauthUrl": "https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/dropbox/authorize?instance_id=<instance-id>"
}

serverUrl specifies the endpoint of the Dropbox MCP server, which you can connect with the MCP client of your application.

instanceId is used for authentication and identification of your server instance. After you complete the next steps, this token allows the MCP server to access user’s private Dropbox information.

2. Implement OAuth Authorization

Redirect users to the OAuth authorization flow:

Python

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open(dropbox_server.oauth_url)

You can also specify scope and redirect_url in the authUrl, and we also support white-label. Check the API reference for more details.
