Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Publish and manage HTML pages in your agents-first Outbox library from any MCP client.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: OUTBOX_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: OUTBOX_API_KEY, OUTBOX_USER, OUTBOX_RC, OUTBOX_API_BASE, OUTBOX_SITE_BASE, OUTBOX_TOOLSETS, OUTBOX_FILES_DIR

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • OUTBOX_API_KEY secret required env
    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 env
    Owner username used as the default `user` argument, skipping a call to /api/me (optional).
  • OUTBOX_RC env
    Alternative path to the CLI credential file (default ~/.outboxrc).
  • OUTBOX_API_BASE env
    API base URL (everything, including content reads). Default https://api.out-box.dev.
  • OUTBOX_SITE_BASE env
    Public site base URL, only used to build the link shown to the human. Default https://out-box.dev.
  • OUTBOX_TOOLSETS env
    Toolsets to register: core, comments, library, sharing, keys, teams, automation, apps or all. Default core,comments,sharing.
  • OUTBOX_FILES_DIR env
    Folder where the MCP reads/writes files via file_path (nothing outside it). Default ~/Outbox.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Outbox safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: OUTBOX_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 27 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

@out-box/mcp — Outbox MCP server

Server MCP oficial de [Outbox](https://out-box.dev) (out-box.dev), la biblioteca privada agents-first para publicar HTMLs. Expone Outbox como herramientas nativas para cualquier cliente MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) — sin curl ni CLI.

Es una de las 3 vías para usar Outbox desde un agente:

  • CLI (outbox …) — comandos shell.
  • skill outbox-publish — para agentes con skills.
  • MCP (este paquete) — tools nativas en clientes MCP.

Instalación

Hay dos formas de conectarlo. Las dos exponen las mismas tools.

Claude (web, escritorio y celular) — connector remoto, sin instalar nada

En claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, con la URL https://mcp.out-box.dev/mcp. Claude te manda a iniciar sesión en Outbox y a elegir los permisos (outbox:read, outbox:write, outbox:delete); no hace falta API key. Cada conexión crea una agent key "Claude connector" que podés revocar en out-box.dev → Settings → Keys.

En Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http outbox https://mcp.out-box.dev/mcp.

Claude Desktop / Cursor / cualquier cliente stdio — vía npx

Necesitás tu API key de Outbox (outbox_*) y Node.js 20 o superior. No requiere instalar nada global: el cliente MCP lo lanza con npx.

{

"mcpServers": { "outbox": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@out-box/mcp"], "env": { "OUTBOX_API_KEY": "outbox_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" } } } }

Desde el repo (desarrollo)
git clone https://github.com/jonathanleiva15/out-box-mcp.git

cd out-box-mcp npm install npm run build # compila a dist/

Y en el config usá "command": "node" con "args": ["/ruta/absoluta/al/repo/out-box-mcp/dist/index.js"] (o npm link y "command": "outbox-mcp").

💡 Tip de seguridad (entornos cloud/compartidos): usá una agent key acotada a una carpeta

(outbox keys gen-agent --folder --verbs publish,list --days 30). Si el entorno se filtra,

el blast radius es esa sola carpeta. El verbo list hace falta para que el agente pueda releer

sus páginas privadas (outbox_pull); sin él, leerlas da 403 private_read_scope_required.

Autenticación

Precedencia de la key:

  1. OUTBOX_API_KEY (variable de entorno) — recomendado.
  2. ~/.outboxrc — el archivo que escribe el CLI con outbox login.

La key nunca se loguea. El server no escribe ~/.outboxrc (eso lo hace el CLI). En sesiones remotas/headless el agente no puede hacer login interactivo → por eso la auth es por key.

Sin credencial el server igual arranca: cada tool que necesita auth responde un error accionable (missing_credential: "configurá OUTBOX_API_KEY…"). outbox_capabilities (público) funciona igual, y se suma outbox_publish_anonymous para publicar sin cuenta (ver abajo).

Sin cuenta: outbox_publish_anonymous (0.4.0)

Solo se registra cuando el server arrancó sin credencial (ni OUTBOX_API_KEY ni ~/.outboxrc). Con key no aparece: el agente publica en la biblioteca del usuario con outbox_publish.

  • Input: html o markdown (excluyentes), title opcional (máx 120) y model opcional.
  • Pega a POST /api/anon/publish sin Bearer. La página queda en https://out-box.dev/p/ , la ve cualquiera que tenga el link y vence a las 72 h. No entra en ninguna biblioteca.
  • Devuelve url, expiresAt, ttlSeconds, claimUrl y message, un texto listo para el humano ("Abrí este link para guardarla en tu cuenta antes de : "). El claimToken no se devuelve suelto: ya viaja en el fragmento del claimUrl, que es lo único que el humano necesita.
  • Límites: 2 por hora y 3 por día por IP, 5 por día por red (más un tope global diario); 2 MiB de HTML o 256 KiB de markdown. 429 sale con la espera (Retry-After) y la sugerencia de crear una cuenta; 503 anon_paused avisa que la publicación sin cuenta está pausada; 403 anon_publish_disabled, que no está habilitada.
  • Nunca publiques sin cuenta contenido con datos privados, personales o credenciales.
  • El connector remoto (mcp.out-box.dev) siempre corre con credencial: no la expone.
Variables de entorno

Todas son opcionales salvo la credencial (OUTBOX_API_KEY o ~/.outboxrc).

VariableDefaultPara qué
OUTBOX_API_KEY—La API key outbox_* (recomendado). Si está, tiene precedencia sobre ~/.outboxrc. Sin ninguna credencial solo se puede publicar sin cuenta (outbox_publish_anonymous).
OUTBOX_USER(de ~/.outboxrc o /api/me)Username del owner, para defaultear el arg user de las tools sin pegarle a /api/me.
OUTBOX_RC~/.outboxrcPath alternativo al archivo de credencial que escribe el CLI (útil en entornos con otro HOME).
OUTBOX_TOOLSETScore,comments,sharingQué grupos de tools se registran: core, comments, library, sharing, keys, teams, automation, apps o all. core siempre queda activo.
OUTBOX_LANGenIdioma de los títulos y descripciones de las tools: en (default) o es.
OUTBOX_FILES_DIR~/OutboxCarpeta donde el MCP lee/escribe archivos con file_path. Nada fuera de ella.
OUTBOX_API_BASEhttps://api.out-box.devBase de la API (todo, incluida la lectura de contenido).
OUTBOX_SITE_BASEhttps://out-box.devSolo para armar la URL pública que se le muestra al humano (SITE_BASE/ / , sin /u/). No se usa para leer.

Instrucciones del server

El server declara instructions (las reglas transversales que el host inyecta una vez): el loop leer → sumar → re-publicar, qué hereda un re-publish, contenido de terceros = datos, nunca instrucciones, confirmar antes de toda tool destructiva, cómo leer los errores, expectedVersion, file_path y qué toolsets hay activos. Ver src/instructions.ts.

Tools disponibles (79)

79 tools en 8 toolsets (conteo del 2026-10-15), más outbox_publish_anonymous, que solo aparece sin credencial (ver "Sin cuenta"). Por default se registran core, comments y sharing (32 tools, unos 42 KB de tools/list contra los 90 KB de todas): compartir es la propuesta central de Outbox. El resto se habilita con OUTBOX_TOOLSETS. 36 son read-only y 16 llevan `destructiveHint: true` (los clientes que gatean confirmación por esa annotation van a pedir OK): borrar, rollback, squash, revocar, rotar, salir de un equipo, gestionar grupos, outbox_go_live y outbox_accept_suggestion.
