What is power-automate-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A set of instructions for Claude Code while working on an MCP server that manages Microsoft Power Automate cloud flows. Power Automate is Microsoft's service for automating tasks and business processes.

Use it when managing, inspecting, debugging, enabling, disabling, or cautiously creating and updating Power Automate flows through the server.

It records the project's architecture, fixed design decisions, and limits so code changes follow the intended setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01831	$0.01831
Opus 5.5	$0.00732	$0.00732
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00366	$0.00366
Haiku 4.5	$0.00183	$0.00183

Security

Grade A, and why

power-automate-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this is

power-automate-mcp-server — an MCP server to manage and (lightly) author Microsoft Power Automate cloud flows from an agent context. Built on SomaMCP (over FastMCP), TypeScript, pnpm, tsdown, vitest, functype, zod v4.

Primary surface is management (list/inspect/debug/enable-disable/owners). Flow authoring (create_flow/update_flow/delete_flow) was originally a v2 non-goal but is now implemented and verified — gated behind ENABLE_WRITE_OPS, with delete_flow requiring confirm=true. The visual designer is still the better authoring surface for complex definitions; these tools emit the raw workflow-definition JSON, so prefer get_flow-as-template + targeted edits.

Spec: the build spec lives in the project history / Civala memory (~/.claude/projects/-Users-jordanburke-IdeaProjects-Civala/memory/project_power_automate_mcp.md).
Design references: ../somamcp (framework), ../microsoft-mcp-server (sibling patterns — but note its auth is app-only/FastMCP-OAuth, not device-code).

Key decisions (locked)

Backend: v1 targets api.flow.microsoft.com (unofficial, full reach incl. personal flows, no Premium needed). Dataverse backend is stubbed (src/backend/dataverse/README.md). The FlowBackend interface (src/backend/index.ts) is the seam — renamed from "BackendAdapter" to avoid colliding with SomaMCP's own BackendAdapter.
Auth: net-new MSAL device-code token manager behind a getToken seam (src/auth/token-manager.ts). v1 = interactive (device-code, stdio) primary + clientCredentials (app-only) secondary. v2 = FastMCP AzureProvider HTTP per-user OAuth (FastMCP exposes the upstream token on the session; reachable via SomaMCP backendOptions passthrough — no fork). The Flow API client depends only on getToken, so v2 is a drop-in.
No default client id — AZURE_CLIENT_ID is required (README documents registration).
Tenant default: common. Package: public, unscoped power-automate-mcp-server.
functype ^1.2.0, somamcp ^1.0.9, @azure/msal-node ^5.2.2, zod ^4.4.3.
Node 24 in .nvmrc + CI (OIDC trusted publishing needs npm 11.5.1+, which ships with Node 24). The npm@latest workaround was removed from publish.yml.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
