How to Use the Egnyte MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I use Claude Code to search for specific files in Egnyte?

Yes. Use claude mcp call egnyte-mcp searchfiles --query 'Q4financials' and pipe the output to another command that uses getfilemetadata to get the details for each result.

Q: How can I list all users in my Egnyte account using Claude Code?

Run the command claude mcp call egnyte-mcp listusers. It returns a list of all users in your domain, which you can then save to a file or process with other scripts.

Q: What's the best way to create a folder and get a shareable link from a script?

Chain two commands. First, call createfolder to make the directory. Then, use the returned path to call createsharedlink to generate the URL.

Pipe Egnyte into your shell scripts and CI/CD jobs. Connect Claude Code to this MCP server to manage files and check audits from the terminal.

Perplexity

Script Your File and Folder Operations

This server exposes Egnyte's file system to the command line. Use `create_folder`, `delete_item`, and `search_files` in your shell scripts to automate content management. You can write a simple bash script that runs nightly, finds all files tagged 'archive-ready' with `search_files`, and then moves them to a new folder created with `create_folder`. No manual work needed.

Command-Line Compliance Audits

Pull compliance data directly into your terminal. The `get_audit_logs` tool streams Egnyte events that you can pipe into `grep`, `awk`, or any other command-line tool for analysis. For example, `claude mcp call egnyte-mcp get_audit_logs --days 7 | grep 'delete'` gives you a fast, simple way to monitor all file deletions from the past week as part of a security script.

Manage Access with this MCP Server

Get quick reports on who has access to what. The `list_users`, `list_groups`, and `list_shared_links` tools let you query your Egnyte account's security posture from a script. Run a cron job that uses `list_shared_links` to find any links that are public but shouldn't be, and then flag them for review. It's a straightforward way to enforce data governance policies automatically.
