Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Outbox every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 0 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp --transport http https://mcp.out-box.dev/mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {

    }
  }

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OUTBOX_API_KEY (Outbox API key (Bearer `outbox_*`). Without it (or the CLI's ~/.outboxrc) the server still starts and every tool asks you to configure it.), OUTBOX_USER (Owner username used as the default `user` argument, skipping a call to /api/me (optional).), OUTBOX_RC (Alternative path to the CLI credential file (default ~/.outboxrc).), OUTBOX_API_BASE (API base URL (everything, including content reads). Default https://api.out-box.dev.), OUTBOX_SITE_BASE (Public site base URL, only used to build the link shown to the human. Default https://out-box.dev.), OUTBOX_TOOLSETS (Toolsets to register: core, comments, library, sharing, keys, teams, automation, apps or all. Default core,comments,sharing.), OUTBOX_FILES_DIR (Folder where the MCP reads/writes files via file_path (nothing outside it). Default ~/Outbox.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Outbox — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Outbox?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Outbox working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 193 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Outbox?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Outbox?
No API key is involved. Outbox answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Outbox?
It answers our handshake in 193 ms on average, which is faster than 64% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Outbox?
The npm package @out-box/mcp was installed 232 times in the last week. Week over week that is +24%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Outbox open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
