Can AI agents automate Egnyte?
Egnyte · saas · documentsenterprise
Egnyte is automatable today through the Public REST API on https://{domain}.egnyte.com/pubapi/. This record is Egnyte's enterprise content platform: files, folders, search, users, permissions, links, webhooks, and AI. It is not Box, Dropbox, SharePoint, or M-Files. The API is REST JSON with OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens. Public apps use authorization-code or implicit grant; internal apps use the resource-owner password grant. Access tokens last 30 days and refresh. Keys are admin-requested and start Pending Approval; Trial, Legacy Office, and Team domains are not eligible. Default plan caps are 2 calls per second and 1,000 to 4,000 calls per day. The File System API creates, updates, moves, copies, deletes, downloads, and lists files and folders. Webhooks POST filtered filesystem, link, and comment events to an HTTPS endpoint. Official Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and .NET SDKs are documented on the developer portal. Egnyte hosts a first-party Remote MCP at https://mcp-server.egnyte.com/mcp with OAuth 2.0. Tools cover search, AI Q&A and summarization, filesystem list and text upload, comments, and share links. MCP is plan-gated (Gen 4 Essential, Elite, or Ultimate; selected Gen 3 plans). Gen 3 domains without the AI add-on get only list, advanced search, and get_file_content. MCP upload is UTF-8 text only and capped at 8 MB; fetch truncates to 10,000 characters. The older vendor GitHub server egnyte/egnyte-mcp-server last pushed 2025-06-23 and exposes a single search_for_document_by_name tool. The official Agentic CLI (@egnyte/agentic-cli) emits JSON, lists 64 operations, and requires --dry-run on mutations. iPaaS connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API scores 8. MCP and CLI score 7. API is the best path because binary file transfer, users, permissions, and webhooks sit on REST, while MCP write coverage is narrower and plan-gated.
