Can I connect it directly to a 3.3V board like ESP32?
Be careful. The MAX232 is powered from 5 V and its receiver outputs swing up to the 5 V supply, which can damage 3.3 V inputs. Use a level shifter for 3.3 V boards.
Does it need external capacitors?
Yes. The MAX232 uses external charge-pump capacitors to generate its RS-232 voltages. Use the capacitor values and layout given in the datasheet.
