[Remote MCP Server](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) is a standardized way for AI Agents to connect and interact with third-party applications like Box, enabling seamless access to content and AI capabilities across platforms. The Box MCP Server acts as a bridge that allows leading AI Agent platforms — such as Copilot Studio, Claude Enterprise, Mistral Le Chat — to securely query and utilize Box data and AI-powered tools without exposing raw file content. Through OAuth authorization, users can grant AI Agents controlled access to their Box accounts, enabling intelligent document handling, advanced search, and multi-file AI queries directly within these external AI environments.
