Cindyloo Dropbox Mcp Server
Plugs Claude directly into your Dropbox account with read-only access to search, browse, and extract content from your files. You get five tools: list files in any folder, search by filename with optional type filters, read full file content with text extraction from PDFs and DOCX, grab file metadata, and search for specific text within files with surrounding context. Handles common formats including PDF, Word docs, and plain text files using PyPDF2 and python-docx for extraction. Requires a Dropbox access token with files.metadata.read and files.content.read permissions. Reach for this when you need Claude to reference, analyze, or pull information from documents already sitting in your Dropbox without manual copy-pasting.
