microsoft/power-platform-skills is a plugin marketplace containing reusable skills, agents, and commands for developing with Microsoft Power Platform. Developers use it to build and deploy Power Pages sites, model-driven Power Apps, and related solutions through Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. The catalogue entries are the marketplace's included skills, agents, plugins, and other agent components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 76 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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 | $0.00064 | $0.01686 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00843 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00337 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
configure-canvas-mcp 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Configure the Canvas Authoring MCP Server
This skill configures the Canvas Authoring MCP server for the user's current Power Apps coauthoring session. The MCP server is auto-registered by the plugin — this skill connects it to a specific app session.
Instructions
1. Ask for the studio URL
Ask the user:
What is the URL of your canvas app studio session?
Copy the URL from the browser address bar while your app is open in Power Apps Designer (it should look like
https://make.powerapps.com/e/Default-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/canvas/?action=edit&app-id=...).Make sure coauthoring is enabled in the app (Settings → Updates → Coauthoring).
Keep this browser tab open for the entire session. The MCP server communicates with Power Apps through the coauthoring session tied to that tab. Closing the tab ends the coauthoring session, which prevents
compile_canvasandsync_canvasfrom working and means you can't see or save generated changes.
2. Extract parameters from the URL
Parse the following from the studio URL:
- ENV_ID: the path segment between
/e/and the next/(e.g.Default-91bee3d9-0c15-4f17-8624-c92bb8b36ead). - APP_ID: URL-decode the
app-idquery parameter value, then take the last segment after the final/(e.g.6fc3e3d1-292b-4281-8826-577f78512e56) - MAKER_HOSTNAME: the hostname of the URL (e.g.
make.powerapps.com) - ENVIRONMENT_CATEGORY: determined from MAKER_HOSTNAME (see table below)
Determine ENVIRONMENT_CATEGORY from MAKER_HOSTNAME:
| MAKER_HOSTNAME | ENVIRONMENT_CATEGORY |
|---|---|
make.powerapps.com |
prod |
make.preview.powerapps.com |
prod |
make.preprod.powerapps.com |
preprod |
make.gov.powerapps.us |
gov |
make.high.powerapps.us |
high |
make.apps.appsplatform.us |
dod |
make.powerapps.cn |
china |
| Any other hostname | test |
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.

configure-canvas-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/power-platform-skills (859 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,686 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
