Bring Egnyte
to OpenAI Agents SDK
Learn how to connect Egnyte to OpenAI Agents SDK and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Egnyte MCP Server?
Connect your Egnyte enterprise account to any AI agent and take full control of your corporate file sync and share (EFSS) workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Content Orchestration — List and manage files and folders programmatically, including creating new directories and retrieving detailed metadata
- Secure Sharing — Programmatically generate shared links with customizable accessibility (public, password, domain) directly from your agent
- Deep Semantic Search — Find relevant files and folders across your entire domain using advanced text queries and filters
- User & Group Visibility — Retrieve complete directories of users and groups to coordinate permissions and team collaboration
- Compliance Monitoring — Access security audit logs and monitor active webhooks to maintain high-fidelity oversight of your corporate data
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Register an Internal Application in your Egnyte Developer Portal
3. Retrieve your Access Token and Domain (e.g., 'acme' from acme.egnyte.com)
4. Start managing your enterprise content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual folder navigation or complex permission setting in the web UI. Your AI acts as your dedicated IT and content operations coordinator.
Who is this for?
- IT Administrators — instantly retrieve audit logs and manage user groups using natural language commands
- Operations Leads — automate folder structures for new projects and monitor shared link usage without leaving your workspace
- Compliance Officers — search for sensitive documents and verify access levels through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Egnyte domain?
The domain is the first part of your URL. For example, if you access Egnyte at acme.egnyte.com, your domain is acme.
Can I search for files by content?
Yes! The search_files tool performs a full-text search across your Egnyte domain to find relevant documents and folders.
How do I generate a shared link via AI?
Use the create_shared_link tool and provide the full path to the item. You can also specify access levels like 'public' or 'domain'.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
