{
  "mcpServers": {
    "t8y2-dbx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dbx-app/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package @dbx-app/mcp-server - the @dbx-app scope differs from the repo owner (t8y2); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.t8y2 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
