How to Use the Egnyte MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Egnyte MCP Server in Cursor?

Add the server to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Once added, the Cursor agent can access all 12 tools during your coding sessions.

Q: Can Cursor write code using my real Egnyte metadata?

Yes. Cursor uses getfilemetadata to retrieve actual file schemas from your Egnyte account. It then writes code tailored to your specific file structures.

Q: How does Cursor handle Egnyte user permissions?

Cursor queries listusers and listgroups to understand your domain's permission model. This helps you write access-control code that matches your actual user base.

Q: Can I search files across my domain?

Yes. The searchfiles tool allows the agent to find specific files on your domain. It returns matching paths and IDs instantly.

Inject real Egnyte file structures and metadata directly into your Cursor code editor while you write.

Feed real Egnyte file structures to Cursor Agent

This Egnyte MCP Server lets Cursor inspect your cloud storage structure while you write code. Your AI agent calls `get_file_metadata` and `list_folder` to fetch live directory trees, inserting real schemas instead of placeholder variables. If you are building an integration, Cursor uses these live payloads to write accurate data parsers. You do not need to copy-paste API responses from a browser.

Create and delete Egnyte test folders inside Cursor

The Egnyte MCP Server enables direct file system manipulation during active coding sessions. Your editor runs `create_folder` and `delete_item` to set up and tear down test environments on your live domain. You can verify your file-handling scripts by asking Cursor to execute these tools. It confirms the changes immediately, shortening your feedback loop.

Manage Egnyte webhooks from your code workspace

This MCP integration exposes webhook configuration directly to your development environment. Cursor calls `list_webhooks` to inspect your active endpoints and match them against your local server setup. You can ask your agent to verify if your local receiver matches the registered webhooks on your Egnyte domain. It helps debug event-driven architectures without leaving your editor.

Setup guide

Set up Egnyte MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Egnyte MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Egnyte transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Egnyte tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
