Integration

Databox integration

Databox is a business analytics platform that turns data from connected tools into metrics and dashboards (Databoards). Create datasets and push rows of data into them, inspect a dataset's schema, ingestions and sync history, manage data sources, connections and metrics (including querying metric dimension values and drilldowns), list Databoards and the metrics they show, and manage client accounts and users of the organization. Billing and invoices are not exposed. Authentication is a Databox API key (created by an Admin on the Profile page, Password and Security section) sent in the x-api-key header.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Databox.Built from the 86 Databox tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Databox

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Databox from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Databox in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Databox operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Databox

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Databox once
Add your Databox connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
