Control Egnyte files directly in Claude Desktop

This Egnyte MCP Server gives Claude Desktop direct access to your company's secure storage files. Your agent uses `list_folder` and `search_files` to locate assets without you digging through browser tabs. You ask for a file, and Claude pulls the exact path instantly. When you need to clean up directories or organize project folders, Claude runs `create_folder` and `delete_item` right inside the chat window. It handles the manual file organization while you focus on the actual work.

Generate secure share links on the fly

The Egnyte MCP Server lets Claude Desktop create and manage external sharing links during your conversations. Instead of opening a separate web UI, your agent calls `create_shared_link` to generate a secure URL for your clients. You can audit active links directly in the chat using `list_shared_links`. Claude Desktop parses the list to flag expired or public links that need to be cleaned up.

Audit Egnyte activity inside Claude Desktop

This MCP toolset exposes admin operations like `get_audit_logs` and `list_users` to your desktop agent. You can ask Claude to scan recent file access logs to see who modified a file. It queries the Egnyte API to pull user lists with `list_users` and group memberships with `list_groups`. You get raw, unfiltered access control data formatted cleanly in your chat window.
