DocSend

DocSend is a secure document sharing and analytics platform, now part of Dropbox, used by sales, marketing, and fundraising teams to share pitch decks, sales collateral, and confidential documents through trackable links. It provides page-by-page viewer analytics, granular access controls (email verification, passcodes, expiration, watermarking), virtual data rooms, and e-signature. DocSend was surfaced as a portfolio company of Cowboy Ventures, DCM Ventures, and Uncork Capital and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline. DocSend publishes no public REST API and no OpenAPI; its only programmatic surface is a live, OAuth-secured hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://docsend.com/mcp, backed by RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery, RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, dynamic client registration (RFC 7591), and mandatory PKCE. In August 2026 DocSend replaced the server's two coarse mcp:read / mcp:write scopes with five resource-scoped ones — documents:read, spaces:read, spaces:write, analytics:read, contacts:read.

DocSend publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Document Sharing, Sales Enablement, and Analytics.

The DocSend catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

DocSend’s developer surface includes authentication, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 20 more developer resources.

  description: 'DocSend''s hosted Model Context Protocol server — the only programmatic surface DocSend publishes. An MCP
    client POSTs Streamable-HTTP JSON-RPC to https://docsend.com/mcp (also reachable at https://mcp.docsend.com/mcp) with
    an OAuth 2.0 bearer token. The authorization surface is fully machine-discoverable: RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata,
    RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, RFC 7591 dynamic client registration and mandatory PKCE (S256). Five resource scopes
    are advertised — documents:read, spaces:read, spaces:write, analytics:read, contacts:read — so the surface spans documents,
    Spaces (virtual data rooms), viewer analytics and contacts, with Spaces the only writable domain. The tool list is behind
    the bearer requirement and DocSend publishes no MCP documentation, so tools must be discovered after authorizing.'
