Dropbox has replaced its API reference with a rebuilt site at https://docs.dropboxapi.com, aimed at making integration work faster and less dependent on outside tools.

Testing endpoints without leaving the page

The new reference supports issuing API calls directly from the browser. Developers can set parameters, send a request, and read the live response from the Dropbox API in the same view, rather than moving between documentation and a separate testing tool.

AI assistance, in-page and via MCP

An embedded AI assistant answers questions about endpoints, helps with troubleshooting, and produces code examples without navigating away. For tooling outside the browser, Dropbox exposes its documentation through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so compatible AI tools can pull current API information where the developer already works and use it to explore the API or assist with integrations.

The server is reachable at https://docs.dropboxapi.com/_mcp/server, or through the "Connect to Claude Code" and "Connect to Cursor" actions on the API Reference pages.

One interface for endpoints, types and schemas

Endpoints, types, schemas, and related documentation now live together in a responsive interface. Navigation and search are meant to shorten the path to a given endpoint or parameter and to make jumping between related resources easier than paging through separate documents.

The reference also carries fuller detail per endpoint: error responses, type definitions, and complete request and response schemas.

Feedback and access

Dropbox is collecting reactions to the update in its Developer Forum, with specific interest in what works well, what could improve, and which features should come next.

The documentation is live now at https://docs.dropboxapi.com.
