Integration

Egnyte integration

Egnyte is a cloud content platform for business files. Browse folders and read file details, upload and download files, create folders, move, copy and delete items, search by keyword or custom metadata, comment on files, bookmark folders, create and manage shared links (which can email recipients), read and change folder permissions, restore or permanently purge trash, follow file and permission events, read users, groups, workflows, tasks and project folders. Left out: locking files, chunked uploads over 100 MB, metadata schema and value management, AI, user and group administration, audit reports, webhooks, Egnyte Sign, upload requests, eTMF, controlled documents, MSP and SCIM routes. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 on your Egnyte domain with an API key (client ID and secret) that a domain admin creates.

Connect Egnyte How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Egnyte.Built from the 43 Egnyte tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Egnyte

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Bookmark, 4 operations

create_bookmarkCreate bookmarkPOSTBookmarks a folder for the connected user, given its path or folder_id, and returns the bookmark.
delete_bookmarkDelete bookmarkDELETEDeletes one of the connected user's bookmarks.
get_bookmarkGet bookmarkGETReturns one bookmark: the folder's path and id and when it was bookmarked.
list_bookmarksList bookmarksGETLists the connected user's bookmarked folders with their path, folder id and creation date.

Link, 4 operations

create_linkCreate linkPOSTCreates a shareable link to a file or folder, or an upload link to a folder, and returns its URL. With send_email true, Egnyte emails the link to the recipients.
delete_linkDelete linkDELETEDeletes a shared link so its URL stops working. Only admins and the link's creator can delete it.
get_linkGet linkGETReturns one shared link: URL, path, type, accessibility, protection, recipients, expiry and last access. Only admins and the link's creator can read it.
list_linksList linksGETLists shared links with their details (URL, path, type, accessibility, recipients, expiry, last access). Non-admins see only links they created. Link URLs give access to the content.

Note, 4 operations

add_commentAdd commentPOSTAdds a comment to a file or folder and returns it with its id.
delete_commentDelete commentDELETEDeletes a comment. Only its author or an administrator can delete it.
get_commentGet commentGETReturns one comment: its text, author, creation time and the file it is on.
list_commentsList commentsGETLists the comments on a file (file path), or, for an admin with no file given, every comment in the domain, optionally between two dates. Comments carry their author's username and name.

File, 3 operations

copy_itemCopy itemPOSTCopies a file or folder to another path in Egnyte and returns the copy's path and id. If the destination of a folder copy does not end with the folder's name, only its contents are copied.
list_recent_filesList recent filesGETReturns up to 10 files the connected user accessed recently, optionally within a folder.

Trash, 3 operations

list_trashList trashGETLists items in the trash (files, folders and versions) with who deleted them, when, and when they will be purged. A date filter needs both startDate and endDate, and deletedBy needs that date range too.
purge_from_trashPurge from trashPOSTPermanently deletes up to 10 items (files, folders or versions) from the trash, by the ids list_trash returns. This cannot be undone. Items that fail are listed in resources with their status code.
restore_from_trashRestore from trashPOSTRestores up to 10 items from the trash to their original locations, by the ids list_trash returns. Items that fail are listed in resources with their status code.

User, 3 operations

get_effective_permissionsGet effective permissionsGETReturns a user's effective permission level on a folder, counting direct permissions, group memberships and inheritance.
get_userGet userGETReturns one user by numeric id: username, email, name, type, role, status, authentication type, groups and activity dates.
list_usersList usersGETLists the domain's users (id, username, email, name, type, role, status, groups, last activity), 100 per page by default, optionally filtered with a SCIM expression such as userName eq "jsmith".

F, 2 operations

get_itemGet itemGETReturns a file's or folder's details by path. For a folder with list_content true, it also lists its subfolders and files (up to 1000 per page); for a file, its size, checksum, ids and versions.

Fs content, 2 operations

download_fileDownload fileGETDownloads a file by path and returns it as a stored file. With entry_id, downloads that version instead of the current one.
upload_fileUpload filePOSTUploads a file to the given path (up to 100 MB), replacing the file as a new version if it already exists, and returns its path, checksum, size and ids.

Group, 2 operations

get_groupGet groupGETReturns one group with its display name and members.
list_groupsList groupsGETLists the domain's custom groups with their members, 100 per page by default, optionally filtered by display name (SCIM syntax, for example displayName sw "Mar").

Perm, 2 operations

get_folder_permissionsGet folder permissionsGETReturns the permissions set on a folder: each user's and group's level (Owner, Full, Editor, Viewer, Viewer Only) and whether the folder inherits its parent's permissions.
set_folder_permissionsSet folder permissionsPOSTChanges who can access a folder: sets each listed user's or group's level (None removes access; Viewer Only, Viewer, Editor, Full, Owner), leaving others unchanged. Needs Owner on the folder or admin. Can also stop or restore inheritance.

Use Egnyte from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Egnyte in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Egnyte operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Egnyte

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Egnyte once
Add your Egnyte connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
