About

dbx-mcp-server (amgadabdelhafez/dbx-mcp-server) is a community-built MCP server that gives AI assistants full read/write access to a Dropbox account through Dropbox's public API. Tools cover core file operations (list, upload, download, copy, move, and safe-delete with recycle-bin support so nothing is destroyed permanently), folder creation, metadata lookups, and content search across an account, letting a client answer "find my Q3 budget spreadsheet" or "move all screenshots from this month into an Archive folder" without a human digging through folders manually. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE: register a Scoped-Access app in the Dropbox App Console, grant the specific permission scopes needed (files.metadata.read, files.content.read/write, sharing.write, account_info.read), and supply `DROPBOX_APP_KEY`, `DROPBOX_APP_SECRET`, `DROPBOX_REDIRECT_URI`, and a `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY` for secure local token storage with automatic refresh. Install by cloning the repo, running `npm install && npm run build`, then `npm run setup` to complete the OAuth flow. Note this is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dropbox — Dropbox itself ships a separate, narrower official MCP server (dropbox/mcp-server-dash) scoped specifically to Dropbox Dash search and AI-assistant integration rather than general file management.

Installation

npm / npx
git clone https://github.com/amgadabdelhafez/dbx-mcp-server && npm install && npm run build && npm run setup

Notion MCP Server

The Notion MCP Server is the official integration from Notion that connects AI assistants directly to your Notion workspace via the Notion REST API. With 3,500+ GitHub stars, it is the canonical MCP tool for bringing Notion's knowledge management capabilities into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client. The server exposes a rich set of tools: search your entire workspace by keyword and return matching pages and databases; retrieve full page content and block trees; create new pages inside any parent page or workspace section; update, append, or delete block content on existing pages; list all databases your integration has access to; query database entries with filter and sort parameters; retrieve individual blocks or nested children by block ID; and add comments to pages. Authentication uses a Notion integration token — create an internal integration at notion.so/my-integrations, share specific pages or databases with it, and set NOTION_API_KEY in your environment. Install with a single npx command. The Notion MCP Server is especially powerful for AI workflows that span documentation retrieval, project planning, and knowledge capture — Claude can read product specs from Notion, draft new pages from conversation output, log structured data into databases, and search across thousands of notes without any manual copy-paste.

Linear MCP Server

The Linear MCP server connects your AI assistant directly to Linear's project management platform via an officially hosted remote endpoint at mcp.linear.app — no local installation required. This is Linear's own first-party server, authenticated with OAuth 2.1 and centrally managed so you always run the latest version without updates. Available tools let you search issues by keyword, team, cycle, or filter; create new issues with title, description, and assignee; update status, priority, labels, and comments; and navigate Linear's project and cycle structure. In Claude Code, add it with: `claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp`, then run /mcp to complete the OAuth flow. For older clients, use the mcp-remote bridge for backwards compatibility. Claude Desktop and Claude.ai users can connect via Settings > Connectors. Cursor and Codex have native support via their MCP config. Linear is used by thousands of engineering and product teams to plan, track, and ship software — the Linear MCP server brings that data into every AI-powered workflow without copy-paste or context-switching.
