# Box Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Box operations including file upload/download, content search, folder management, collaboration, metadata queries, and sign requests through Composio's Box toolkit.
## Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Box connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `box`
- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
## Setup
**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `box`
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Box OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
