1. Sign in to the [Box Admin Console](https://app.box.com/master).
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.
5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** for later use. These are required later for Windows ODR to authorize the connection.
6. Check the **Access scopes**:
   * **Scopes** define the maximum set of actions. Users can only access content they already have permission to view or edit in Box.
   * **Read all files and folders stored in Box**.
   * **Read and write all files and folders stored in Box**.
   * **Manage AI Requests**.
7. Click **Save**.
