For makers and developers

Install Dataverse

Your AI assistant

  1. Add the Power Platform marketplace. You only do this once.

    Add the marketplace

  2. Install the plugin.

    Install in GitHub Copilot app

The app asks you to confirm each step.

Paste this into a terminal and press Enter. It adds the marketplace, then installs the plugin.

copilot plugin marketplace add microsoft/power-platform-skills; copilot plugin install dataverse@power-platform-skills

In the Windows Command Prompt, change ; to & first. VS Code also picks up plugins you install with GitHub Copilot CLI.

Opens a terminal with the install command already typed. Press Enter to install.

Install in Claude Code

Prefer to type it? Run this in a terminal:

claude plugin install dataverse --marketplace microsoft/power-platform-skills

The Claude desktop app's Code tab and the Claude Code extension for VS Code use the same plugins.

Things you can ask

  • Show me my open deals over $100K closing this quarter
  • Import this CSV into the contacts table
  • Create a customer feedback table with name, rating, and comment columns

What you need

  • A Dataverse environment. The free Power Apps Developer Plan works.
  • The dv-connect skill checks for the other tools it needs and helps you install them.

Good to know

  • Maintained in the microsoft/Dataverse-skills repository. Report issues there.
  • The install-everything command skips this plugin. To include it, use the Include Dataverse commands on the home page.
  • If you already installed it from the dataverse-skills marketplace, keep only one copy so its skills don't load twice.
