Install Power Apps Mobile extensions

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 power-apps-mobile-extension@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 power-apps-mobile-extension --marketplace microsoft/power-platform-skills

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