Let AI drive your cloud drives. Developer tools for power users.
BoxPlayer extracts cloud-drive automation into clouddrive-cli — a command-line tool for developers and a stable API for Claude, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP agent.
Unified API for 7 cloud drives
Aliyun Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Baidu Netdisk, 115, and PikPak — one command set, one JSON shape, one permission model.
Three-step safety model
Generate a plan, validate with dry-run, then execute after user confirmation. Every write operation is traceable and undoable with ops undo.
AI-native media organization
Detect movies, TV shows, and anime automatically, then generate Jellyfin / Emby / Plex-friendly names so messy cloud folders become a real media library.
Install the CLI
Install globally from npm in seconds
npm install -g clouddrive-cli
# verify
clouddrive-cli --help
clouddrive-cli auth list --jsonInstall the Claude Skill
Let Claude / Codex drive the CLI directly
# Method A — npx
npx skills add boxplayer/clouddrive-cli -g
# Method B — copy SKILL.md
cp $(npm root -g)/clouddrive-cli/skill/SKILL.md \
~/.claude/skills/clouddrive-cli/SKILL.mdSpeak naturally. The agent runs commands.
