What is the Egnyte MCP Server?

Official Egnyte remote MCP server. Search, read, summarize and ask questions of documents in your Egnyte domain while native permissions and audit logging stay enforced.

Credentials and setup notes

An Egnyte domain and an account with access to the content you want to query. Most organisations require an administrator to enable the connector before individual users can authorise it.

What you can do with it

Contract and risk review

Point the assistant at an agreement stored in Egnyte and ask it to surface indemnity, IP or termination language without exporting the document anywhere.

Policy lookup for employees

Let staff ask plain questions about HR, travel or security policy and get answers grounded in the actual controlled document, filtered by what they are permitted to see.

Project status from stored reports

Pull the current documents for a named project folder and get a status roll-up, including which expected reports are missing.

Financial document analysis

Read quarterly statements or filings held in Egnyte and produce comparisons and charts inside the chat.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

How to install the Egnyte MCP Server

claude mcp add egnyte --transport http https://mcp-server.egnyte.com/mcp

Configuration

An Egnyte domain and an account with access to the content you want to query. Most organisations require an administrator to enable the connector before individual users can authorise it.

Example prompts to try

  • “Find the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement in Egnyte and list the risk factors it mentions.”
  • “Summarise the key points of the Travel Policy document and tell me what the per-diem limits are.”
  • “List everything in the 'Project ABC' folder and tell me which documents were added most recently.”
  • “Create a shared link for the latest signed MSA and give me the URL.”

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and that is the main reason to use it rather than syncing files somewhere else. The connector calls Egnyte's public APIs as the authenticated user, so native permissions, compliance policies and audit logging all apply. An assistant cannot read a folder its user could not open in the Egnyte web app.
