Question or Issue
Does the hosted MCP server at mcp.dropbox.com expose any file write tools (upload, create, delete)? If not, is that on the roadmap?
I have 'files.content.write' checked under individual scopes but my connector can only seem to read and not save files.

Hi TAEFADMIN
As of today, the hosted MCP server at mcp.dropbox.com/mcp currently exposes read-only capabilities. It does not provide tools for file write operations such as uploading, creating, or deleting files.
Our team is actively evaluating how developers are using MCP and gathering feedback on potential future capabilities. While we can't make any commitments about specific features or timelines, input like yours helps inform those discussions.
Thank you DB-Des for the response. If it is helpful, my specific use case is to connect claude.ai to dropbox via a dedicated user access login that only has access to the folders we want accessible by the AI. We would like to use dropbox as the "company knowledge base" where we can store SOP's and inform our AI for future chats. Right now it can read the files we store, but we need to manually add the files when we create them. Would be great to be able to automate that.
Thank you!
