What it does
Dropbox's open-source local MCP server for Dropbox Dash, the company search product, written in Python and run over stdio. Its tools start and finish a Dropbox OAuth sign-in, search content that Dash has indexed with filters for file type, source connector such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack or Jira, and date range, and fetch detailed metadata and a content snippet for a result. You create a Dropbox app with read scopes, set its app key, and install with uv; tokens are kept in the system keyring. Dropbox's help centre also offers a hosted Dash server at mcp.dropbox.com/dash and recommends that one over this local version.
