How to Use the Egnyte MCP in VS Code Copilot

Automate Egnyte folder creation in VS Code Copilot

This Egnyte MCP Server integrates secure file operations directly into your team's shared workspace. Developers use `create_folder` and `delete_item` inside the Copilot chat to manage project assets without leaving the editor. By configuring the server in your shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every team member gets instant access to these tools. It standardizes how your team interacts with cloud storage.

Track Egnyte shared links inside your editor

The Egnyte MCP Server lets VS Code Copilot audit and generate file sharing links during development. Your team runs `create_shared_link` to share build artifacts or documentation with external partners. Copilot uses `list_shared_links` to review active links and prevent security leaks. It checks for public links and flags them before you deploy your code.

Monitor Egnyte audit logs from VS Code Copilot

This MCP setup gives your team access to domain monitoring tools directly in their chat sidebar. Copilot calls `get_audit_logs` to track recent file modifications and identify who made specific changes. It also uses `get_account_info` to verify domain settings and compliance policies. This ensures your development environment aligns with corporate storage rules.
