Dropbox MCP Pack — wraps the Dropbox API v2

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool

Description

dropbox_list_folder

List files and folders in a Dropbox directory. Returns names, types, sizes, and modification dates. Use when browsing folder contents or checking what's stored at a path.

dropbox_search

Search Dropbox for files and folders by name or content. Returns matching paths, file types, and metadata. Use when you need to find a file without knowing its exact location.

dropbox_get_metadata

Get detailed metadata for a file or folder: size, modified date, ID, sharing status, and revision info. Use before downloading or modifying to inspect properties.

dropbox_download

Download a file from Dropbox and return its content as text plus metadata (size, type, modified date). Use to retrieve file contents for processing or inspection.

dropbox_create_folder

Create a new folder in Dropbox at a specified path. Returns folder metadata. Use to organize files or set up directory structures.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dropbox": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dropbox/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dropbox/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dropbox data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
