Supported Tools

get_workflow

Get Workflow

Get details of a specific workflow in Egnyte including its status, steps, tasks, and completion information.

List Folder Contents

List the contents of a folder in Egnyte. Returns files and subfolders with their metadata including name, path, size, and modification dates. Supports pagination for large directories.

delete_user

Delete User

Delete a user from your Egnyte domain. This permanently removes the user account.

get_audit_report

Get Audit Report

Check an audit report generation job, then retrieve its JSON page or prepare the CSV report for download when complete. Check again no more frequently than every two minutes.

create_audit_report

Create Audit Report

Generate an audit report in Egnyte for login activity, file actions, permission changes, user provisioning, or group management. Reports are generated asynchronously — use the returned report ID to check status and retrieve results.

Get User

Retrieve detailed information about a specific user in Egnyte by their user ID.

create_group

Create Group

Create a new group in your Egnyte domain with optional initial members.

list_groups

List Groups

List custom groups in your Egnyte domain. Returns group names, IDs, and membership. Default Egnyte groups are not included in the response.

list_comments

List Comments

List all comments (notes) on a specific file in Egnyte. Returns comments with author information and timestamps.

get_permissions

Get Folder Permissions

Retrieve the permissions assigned to a folder in Egnyte. Returns user and group permission levels including Owner, Full, Editor, and Viewer. Also indicates whether the folder inherits permissions from its parent.

set_permissions

Set Folder Permissions

Set or update folder permissions in Egnyte for specific users and/or groups. This is a delta operation — only the specified permissions are changed; existing permissions for other users/groups remain unaffected. Set a permission to "None" to revoke access.

update_group

Update Group

Update a group in Egnyte. Rename the group and/or replace its member list. When updating members, the provided list replaces the existing membership. This requires a read followed by a full update; avoid concurrent group name changes.

create_user

Create User

Create a new user in your Egnyte domain. Configure their role, authentication type, and whether they receive an invitation email.

get_file_info

Get File or Folder Info

Retrieve metadata for a file or folder in Egnyte. Can look up by path or by persistent ID (group_id for files, folder_id for folders). Returns name, path, size, versions, lock status, and custom properties.

empty_trash

Empty Trash

Legacy whole-trash operation. The current Egnyte API only documents purging explicitly selected item IDs; this tool refuses the unsupported whole-trash request.

copy_item

Copy File or Folder

Copy a file or folder to a new location in Egnyte. The destination path must include the new name. Optionally control how permissions are handled for copied folders.

list_users

List Users

List users in your Egnyte domain. Supports filtering by username, email, or other attributes using SCIM filter syntax. Supports pagination.

list_trash

List Trash

List one page of items in the Egnyte trash. Folder-path filtering is unsupported; use the returned exact item paths and IDs. Retention follows the domain's configured policy.

create_workflow

Create Workflow

Create a review and approval workflow on a file in Egnyte. Define steps with assignees, due dates, and optional signature requirements. Supports review and approval step types.

restore_from_trash

Restore from Trash

Add a comment (note) to a file in Egnyte. Comments are visible to all users with access to the file.

update_user

Update User

Update an existing user's properties in Egnyte. Only the specified fields will be changed.

list_workflow_tasks

List Workflow Tasks

List pending workflow tasks assigned to the current user in Egnyte. Returns task details including workflow name, file info, assignee, and due dates.

delete_group

Delete Group

Delete a group from your Egnyte domain. This does not delete the users in the group.

delete_item

Delete File or Folder

Delete a file or folder in Egnyte. Items are moved to the trash and can be restored within the retention period. Optionally delete a specific file version by entry ID.

lock_file

Lock or Unlock File

Lock or unlock a file in Egnyte to prevent or allow concurrent edits. Locking a file prevents other users from modifying it. A lock token is required to identify the lock.

set_metadata

Set Metadata

Set custom metadata key-value pairs on a file or folder in Egnyte within a specific namespace. Multiple properties can be set at once. Setting a value to null removes that property. Works with files (by group ID) or folders (by folder ID).

get_resource

Get Resource

Read one sharing link, custom group, metadata namespace definition, or exact file/folder metadata values.

list_resources

List Resources

Discover metadata namespaces or workflows visible to the connected user. Workflow listing returns one page; namespace discovery returns the provider list.

get_current_user

Get Current User

Identify the Egnyte user associated with this connection.

download_file

Download File

Prepare an Egnyte file for download using its persistent group ID. An optional version entry ID must belong to that file.

upload_file

Upload File

Upload a text or base64 file to an Egnyte folder, replacing the current content if that filename exists. This tool accepts up to 4 MiB; large and chunked uploads require the Egnyte application.

Connect Egnyte to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Egnyte in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Egnyte MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Egnyte tools.

Run Egnyte through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Egnyte and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Egnyte tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
