Instead of manually clicking through folder structures or filling out permission forms, you simply ask your AI client what you need done with your content. Your agent can automatically find documents across the entire domain using advanced queries and filters. It also helps coordinate permissions by retrieving complete directories of users and groups. Need to clean up a project? You can programmatically create new folders or delete old items in bulk. For compliance, you pull security audit logs and monitor webhooks without leaving your workspace. This integration makes your AI client act like a dedicated IT and content operations coordinator. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, you get direct conversational control over all your corporate file governance workflows. ## Tools ### create_folder Builds a new folder within your Egnyte file structure. ### create_shared_link Generates and manages specific share links for files or folders. ### delete_item Removes a specified file or entire folder from the content repository. ### get_account_info Retrieves core domain information for your Egnyte account. ### get_audit_logs Fetches a chronological list of security and access audit events. ### get_file_metadata Pulls detailed information, such as creation dates or ownership, about any specific file. ### list_folder Lists the contents of a specified folder, showing all subfolders and files within it. ### list_groups Provides a directory listing of existing user groups for permission checks. ### list_shared_links Shows a list of all share links that have been generated and are currently active. ### list_users Retrieves the complete directory of users within your corporate domain. ### list_webhooks Shows a list of all currently active webhooks set up for monitoring events. ### search_files Conducts advanced searches to find specific files based on content or filters. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all files in the folder '/Shared/Projects/MCP'. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved the contents of '/Shared/Projects/MCP'.

Instead of manually creating folders, they prompt their agent to 'Create the folder structure /Project Alpha/Drafts and send me the link.' The agent uses `create_folder` and returns the actionable share link. ### Investigating Data Leakage A compliance officer suspects unauthorized access. They ask their agent to 'Show all audit logs for files in /Finance/Q4.' The agent executes `get_audit_logs` and filters the results immediately, pinpointing exactly who accessed what. ### Preparing a Document Handout A team manager needs to send a limited-access document. They ask their agent to 'Generate a share link for the Q3 report that only people in Marketing can view.' The agent uses `create_shared_link` with domain restrictions. ### Auditing Team Access An IT administrator needs to confirm which teams exist and who is on them. They simply ask the agent, 'List all active user groups.' The agent calls `list_groups` and provides a clean list for review. ## Benefits - Avoid manual navigation. Instead of clicking through multiple folder levels, your agent finds the right content instantly using `search_files` and natural language queries. - Simplify governance. You can coordinate permissions by listing users (`list_users`) or groups (`list_groups`), eliminating the need to jump between user directories and permission settings. - Automate compliance checks. Use `get_audit_logs` to pull security records, allowing you to verify who accessed sensitive data and when—all in one chat thread. - Streamline sharing. Generating controlled links is simple; just ask your agent to execute `create_shared_link`, specifying if it needs a password or domain restriction. - Manage content structure effortlessly. Need a new project area? You can issue a command to `create_folder` and immediately start working inside the new directory. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get full, conversational control over complex file operations without needing to navigate the web interface. 1.

Use the `create_folder` tool in your prompt to build entire nested folders instantly, eliminating manual directory creation. **What is needed to use Egnyte MCP for compliance monitoring?** You access security audit logs by asking the agent to run `get_audit_logs`. This gives you a complete picture of who accessed what and when, which is crucial for compliance. **How do I check if a user group exists?** Use the `list_groups` tool.
