  1. Sign in to the Box Admin Console.
  2. Go to Integrations and find Custom Box MCP Server either by using the MCP Category filter, or by using the search bar at the top of the page.
  3. Go to Configuration > Add Integration Credentials to generate new credentials.
  4. In Redirect URIs, change the Box redirect URIs to the Redirect URI provided by the external MCP Client.
