Power Platform MCP Connector Suite Skill (awesome-copilot) for Claude Code: What It Does and How to Install It

Makes your agent build a Power Platform custom connector that gives Microsoft Copilot Studio access to an MCP server.

Stars: 40.7K; on GitHub
Updated: Oct 2026; last repo commit

You pick one of six modes: a new connector, schema validation, integration troubleshooting, a hybrid connector, certification preparation or OAuth security hardening. The agent then writes or fixes four core files: apiDefinition.swagger.json, apiProperties.json, script.csx and readme.md. The connector exposes a POST /mcp endpoint with the x-ms-agentic-protocol: mcp-streamable-1.0 header.

SKILL.md states what Copilot Studio supports today: tools and resources, with resources only as tool outputs, and no prompts. It bundles no scripts. It names the paconn and pac command-line tools for validation but gives no steps to install them.

Good for

Power Platform developers connecting a custom MCP server to Copilot Studio
Teams fixing tools that Copilot Studio filters out of an MCP connector
Publishers preparing a connector for Microsoft certification

Install power-platform-mcp-connector-suite

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the power-platform-mcp-connector-suite skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill power-platform-mcp-connector-suite

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

The awesome-copilot README is written for GitHub Copilot and does not name Claude Code, so the Claude Code and Codex routes are the standard skill-folder routes. The power-platform-mcp-connector-development plugin lists 2 skills and 1 agent in its plugin.json. The agent file has no tool list in its frontmatter.

The CLI checklist includes pac connector create and update. Run these against a development environment before production. github.com
It writes OAuth and security code
Mode 6 adds token audience validation, state parameters and custom logic in script.csx. Review the generated security code before you rely on it. github.com
The Copilot plugin adds a second skill and an agent

Questions

What does power-platform-mcp-connector-suite do?

It makes your agent generate a Power Platform custom connector that wraps an MCP server for Microsoft Copilot Studio. It can also validate schemas, troubleshoot connection problems, prepare for certification and harden OAuth.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. In GitHub Copilot CLI it also comes with the power-platform-mcp-connector-development plugin.

Does Copilot Studio support MCP prompts?

Not yet, according to SKILL.md. It says tools and resources are supported, resources must be tool outputs, and prompts are not yet supported.

Why does Copilot Studio filter out my tools?

SKILL.md lists reference types in tool inputs and outputs as a cause, and tells the agent to switch to primitive, single-type schemas. It also says to check the x-ms-agentic-protocol header when connections fail.

What other skill is in the same plugin?

mcp-copilot-studio-server-generator. The plugin.json for power-platform-mcp-connector-development lists both.

Is it safe?

It bundles no scripts. It writes connector and OAuth code, and its checklist includes commands that create or update a connector, so work in a development environment first.

Does it work in Claude Code?

The file is a standard SKILL.md and installs like any other skill. The awesome-copilot README targets GitHub Copilot, and nothing in the repo says this skill was tested in Claude.
