How to connect a Box MCP with Claude Code (4 steps)

Merge's platform facilitates seamless integration with Box through its Merge Agent Handler, simplifying the process of connecting Claude Code to Box's API for developers seeking to automate workflows. By using the Merge CLI, developers can bypass the complexities of OAuth 2.0 authorization and token management, allowing them to focus on tasks such as searching files, managing folders, and retrieving shared content directly from the terminal. The Merge Agent Handler provides an abstracted authentication layer, tool-level scoping, and comprehensive audit logging, which enhances security and efficiency for teams working with Box. This integration is particularly useful for developers who need to access Box content for downstream processes, ensuring that tasks like retrieving contracts or organizing project folders can be automated without leaving the terminal. Additionally, Merge offers tools to manage employee access to AI systems, using identity providers for provisioning and enforcing data loss prevention policies, thereby maintaining centralized control over document access.
