Box

Box MCP integration

Finds the document behind a question, shares it by link or collaboration, files it with metadata, and applies retention and legal hold.

284actions available

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Create comment

    Lyro adds a comment or reply on a file in Box, tagging collaborators and sparking discussion without leaving the document. Feedback stays threaded and searchable.

  • Assign task

    Lyro creates a task on a Box file and assigns it to a team member, setting due dates and priority levels. Turns a file into an actionable work item.

  • Search for content

    Lyro searches Box for files, folders, or shared items by keyword, filtering across the user's content or entire enterprise. Finds what you need fast.

How businesses use Box + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Box actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Find the document behind the question

    Lyro searches the account for the contract or spec being asked about, confirms it is the right version, and retrieves it, so an answer cites the document rather than someone's memory of it.

  • Share a file with the right people

    Lyro creates the shared link or adds the collaborator directly, and tightens the link's access level afterwards, so a document reaches who needs it without becoming public by default.

  • File and label what comes in

    Lyro puts the incoming document in the folder it belongs in, copies it where a second team needs its own reference, and attaches the metadata that makes it findable later.

  • Apply retention and legal hold

    Lyro assigns the retention policy a document class requires, puts a matter under legal hold, and reports what is currently held, so governance is applied when the file lands.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Box actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Box

    Authorize the Box account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Box actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
