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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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'.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
