Control Files in Zoho WorkDrive

Need to manage files across teams? You can list all available team workspaces with `list_team_folders` and see what’s been accessed recently using `list_recent_files`. It helps you get a quick inventory of shared content. Want to move or organize stuff? Use `create_folder` to make new directories, or rename existing items with `rename_file`. You even have `delete_file` if something needs to go.

Access User and Permission Details

The agent gives you a clear picture of who’s using the system. Use `get_my_profile` to check out your own user details, or run `list_file_permissions` when you need to know exactly who can touch a specific file. If you're working with sensitive documents, knowing permissions is key. You also get access to `list_share_links` and `list_files`, letting your agent confirm the sharing status of content.

Automate Zoho WorkDrive Operations

This MCP Server lets you automate core tasks in Zoho WorkDrive. You can gather a full list of all files using `list_files` or get specific details on an item with `get_file_metadata`. It’s great for batch operations. Need to share something externally? Run `create_share_link` and the agent handles it instantly. Plus, you can use `list_all_teams` if you need a directory of workspaces across your organization.
