Egnyte MCP: your company files inside your AI app

Egnyte is where many businesses store, share and govern their files, and Egnyte's own MCP server brings that content to your AI app. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor with an Egnyte sign-in. The tools are listed once you connect, and a workspace policy can hide personal data in any file content an AI app reads.
