## Configuration

### Option 1: Refresh Token (Recommended)

Refresh tokens don't expire and the SDK auto-refreshes access tokens.

1. Get your app credentials from [Dropbox Developers](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps)

2. Use the OAuth tools to get a refresh token:
   - Call `oauth_get_auth_url` with your app key
   - Open the URL in browser and authorize
   - Call `oauth_exchange_code` with the authorization code

3. Create a `.env` file:
```bash
DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token
DROPBOX_APP_KEY=your_app_key
DROPBOX_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret
# Optional: Set default character limit for paper_get_content (default: 10000)
PAPER_CONTENT_DEFAULT_LIMIT=10000
```

### Option 2: Access Token (Legacy)

Short-lived tokens expire in ~4 hours.

```bash
DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
# Optional: Set default character limit for paper_get_content (default: 10000)
PAPER_CONTENT_DEFAULT_LIMIT=10000
```

## Installation

```bash
uv sync
