Egnyte Agent Skills

Agent Skills to help developers using AI agents work with Egnyte. Whether you're building Egnyte integrations in code, searching and summarizing enterprise content via MCP tools, managing permissions and metadata, or using Egnyte AI for document intelligence — this plugin gives your assistant the context it needs to do it right.

The skills in this repo follow the Agent Skills format and can also be installed as a plugin for platforms like Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code.

Installation

As a Platform Plugin

This repo can also be installed as a plugin for supported platforms. You configure the Egnyte MCP server connection through your platform's MCP settings — see the setup guide for your platform below.

Platform	Setup guide
Codex	.codex-plugin/README.md
Cursor	.cursor-plugin/README.md
Claude Code	.claude-plugin/README.md

Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will use them when relevant tasks are detected. Here are some example prompts:

Search and retrieve enterprise content

Find all contracts modified in the last 30 days and summarize the key renewal dates

Search for the Q1 board deck and answer questions about our revenue targets

List everything in the /Shared/Engineering/Specs folder

Build document-driven AI workflows

Summarize this proposal and highlight the pricing section

Ask questions across all documents in the Legal/Agreements folder

Query our onboarding knowledge base for the latest IT setup steps

Manage files, links, and collaboration

Upload this report to /Shared/Finance/Reports and create a share link for internal users

Set the project status metadata on this file to in-progress

Post a comment on this file asking the team to review by Friday

Skill Structure

The Egnyte skill follows the Agent Skills Open Standard:

• SKILL.md — Skill manifest with routing table, behavioral constraints, workflow steps, and guardrails
• references/ — Individual reference files (auth, content, search, AI intelligence, knowledge bases, collaboration, metadata, CLI, troubleshooting)
• rules/egnyte.mdc — Mandatory safety guardrails (always-on)

Prerequisites

• Egnyte MCP server — Add to Claude Code:

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

  The MCP server handles authentication via OAuth — you'll be redirected to your Egnyte domain on first use.

• Egnyte CLI (optional) — For bulk operations, permissions, and scripting:

  npm install -g @egnyte/agentic-cli
  egnyte login --domain https://<yourcompany>.egnyte.com
  

Quick Verification

Preferred order for agent tooling is MCP first, Egnyte CLI second, and direct REST only as a last-resort fallback.

# With Egnyte CLI installed and authenticated:
egnyte whoami
egnyte fs list /

# Verify MCP is connected (in Claude Code):
# Ask Claude: "List the root of my Egnyte domain"
# It should call list_filesystem_by_path with path="/"
