Power Platform Skills

Dataverse

MCP Apps

Generate tools that AI assistants can call to work with your Dataverse data, plus small interactive widgets that show the results.

For developers Version 1.2.0

Install MCP Apps

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 mcp-apps@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 mcp-apps --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 account revenue as a bar chart
  • Create a tool that searches accounts and a widget that shows the results

What you need

  • PAC CLI, when a tool reads Dataverse tables
