Here is one way to add a box to any grob:

%%%%
\version "2.20.0"

boxify =
#(define-music-function
  (grob-path) (key-list?)
  (define proc (grob-transformer 'stencil
   (lambda (grob orig) (grob-interpret-markup grob #{
    \markup \override #'(box-padding . 0.25)
            \override #'(thickness . 2)
            \box \stencil #orig #}))))
  #{ \override $grob-path . stencil = #proc #})

\new Staff
\with {
  \consists Measure_counter_engraver
  \boxify MeasureCounter
}
{
  \boxify Staff.Clef
  \startMeasureCount
  fis'4 g'8 a' \once \boxify Accidental bes'2 cis''4 d''2.
  \stopMeasureCount
}
%%%%
