PowerPlatform MCP Server

PowerPlatform MCP Server – Overview

The PowerPlatform MCP server bridges the gap between AI assistants and Microsoft’s Power Platform / Dataverse, enabling developers to query, explore, and model data directly from conversational agents. By exposing a rich set of tools that retrieve entity metadata, attributes, relationships, and records, the server gives AI assistants a deep, structured understanding of a tenant’s data model. This context-aware access eliminates the need for manual API calls or cumbersome UI interactions, allowing developers to focus on higher‑level logic while the assistant handles data retrieval and transformation.

At its core, the server implements advanced OData query support with intelligent filtering. Developers can issue simple or complex queries through tools like , and the assistant will translate natural language intent into precise filter expressions. The server also provides AI‑assisted query building, where the assistant suggests optimal OData predicates based on prior usage patterns and entity schemas. This feature dramatically speeds up the development of dashboards, reports, or integration workflows that rely on specific data slices.

The server’s metadata exploration capabilities are particularly valuable for design and documentation tasks. With tools such as and , an AI assistant can generate comprehensive entity overviews, attribute lists, and relationship maps. These insights are surfaced via pre‑defined prompt templates (, ), allowing developers to ask high‑level questions like “What does the Contact entity contain?” and receive a structured, human‑readable answer that includes field types, default values, and related entities.

Real‑world use cases abound: a developer building an automated Power Automate flow can ask the assistant to retrieve all accounts with a specific status, or a data scientist can request a summary of global option sets to inform feature engineering. In integration scenarios, the server’s interactive authentication flow (device code) ensures secure access without exposing client secrets, making it ideal for personal or small‑team environments that require MFA.

By integrating seamlessly with MCP‑compatible clients—such as Cursor, Claude App, or GitHub Copilot—the PowerPlatform MCP server turns a conversational AI into a powerful data‑access companion. Its combination of rich metadata discovery, intelligent query construction, and secure authentication gives developers a unique advantage: the ability to leverage the full breadth of Power Platform data through natural language, accelerating prototyping, debugging, and documentation across the entire development lifecycle.
