Running the server

HTTP mode (recommended for Deepnote / remote access)

python -m dropbox_mcp

By default it starts on 0.0.0.0:8080 using the modern HTTP transport.

You can override with environment variables:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=8080 python -m dropbox_mcp

Stdio mode (for local Cursor / Claude Desktop)

MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio python -m dropbox_mcp

Deepnote / Port exposure

Once the server is running on port 8080, use Deepnote’s “Incoming connections” or port-forwarding feature to expose it if you need external access.
