Full read-write Claude connector for Citrix ShareFile

Let Claude upload, organize, and share files inside Citrix ShareFile

Stop uploading documents and tidying folders by hand. Claude files each item into the right ShareFile folder, organizes the workspace, and prepares share links and file requests, with the outbound and destructive steps waiting for your approval.

Citrix ShareFile is a secure file sharing and document storage platform many regulated teams use to exchange files with clients. People want Claude to do more than read folders: to upload files, organize them, and create share links inside ShareFile itself.

What is a Citrix ShareFile MCP server?

A Citrix ShareFile MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Citrix ShareFile's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can files and folders inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.

What can Citrix ShareFile's current connector do today?

Today, ShareFile has no broad official Claude or MCP connector, so any Claude access is custom-built against the ShareFile API. A read-only build can list folders and pull file metadata, but uploading, moving files, and creating share links need explicit write tools. Coverage depends on your account's API permissions, so treat scope as account-specific.

What does full read-write Citrix ShareFile access unlock?

Full read-write ShareFile access lets Claude upload files into the right folder, create and rename folders, move or copy items between folders, generate a share link, and request files from a client. The organizing and routing that used to mean manual uploads happen where your documents already live.

  • Upload a file into a specific ShareFile folder
  • Create, rename, and organize folders for a client or matter
  • Move or copy items between folders to tidy a workspace
  • Generate a share link for a file after you approve it
  • Send a file request so a client can upload documents to a folder
  • Find files matching a query and propose where they should be filed

Can Claude upload files into Citrix ShareFile?

Yes. A custom ShareFile connector exposes an upload write tool, so Claude can place a file directly into the folder you specify rather than only listing existing contents. It can also create, rename, and organize folders for a client or matter, working with the scopes your account credential allows.

Can Claude create share links in Citrix ShareFile?

Claude can generate a share link for a file in ShareFile, but link creation is a gated action that runs only after you approve it. The same applies to file requests: Claude can stage one so a client uploads documents to a folder, leaving the outbound step under your control.

Will Claude get more access than my ShareFile account has?

No. The ShareFile connector authenticates with your own credentials and inherits your existing permissions, never granting Claude more access than your account already has. Moving, copying, and deleting items are separated as write tools, and if your tenant uses IP allowlisting the connector can respect those controls.

How a Citrix ShareFile connector works

We build a small MCP server that authenticates to ShareFile with OAuth or a scoped API credential, using the narrowest access the work needs. Read tools (list folders, read metadata) and write tools (upload, move, share) are separated, and outbound or destructive actions like creating a public share link or deleting a file require your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own ShareFile account already has, and we can pair it with IP allowlisting if your environment requires it.

Frequently asked questions

Can Claude upload files to ShareFile, not just read them?
Yes. A custom ShareFile connector exposes an upload write tool, so Claude can place a file directly into the folder you specify rather than only listing existing contents. Because there is no broad official connector, this kind of write access is built against the ShareFile API with scopes limited to the actions you actually need.
Will Claude create share links or delete files without my approval?
No. Creating a share link and deleting a file are separate, gated write actions. Claude can prepare the link or stage the change, but it only proceeds after you approve it. You decide which actions run automatically and which require a confirmation step, so outbound sharing stays under your control.
Does the ShareFile connector get more access than I have?
No. The connector authenticates with your own ShareFile credentials and inherits your existing permissions. It never grants Claude more access than your account already has, and if your tenant uses IP allowlisting, the connector can be deployed to respect those network controls.
