Prerequisites

MCP Endpoint

Use the global Databox MCP endpoint: https://mcp.databox.com/mcp

No local installation required — the server is fully cloud-hosted.

https://mcp.databox.com/mcp?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

OAuth 2.0

Support for OAuth 2.0 authentication is planned for January 2026.

Permissions

Your API key inherits your Databox user permissions.
Admins can revoke keys at any time.
