microsoft/add-mcscopilot
Adds Microsoft Copilot Studio connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when invoking Copilot Studio agents, sending prompts to agents, or integrating agent responses.

📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md - Cross-cutting concerns.
Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):
Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Microsoft Copilot Studio connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.
pa app add data-source --connector microsoftcopilotstudio -c <connection-id>
Ask the user which Copilot Studio agent they want to invoke and what operations they need.
Agent Setup Prerequisites (manual steps the user must complete in Copilot Studio):
https://...api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/cr3e1_myAgent/conversations?... — the agent name is cr3e1_myAgent.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 -- execute an agent and wait for the response:
Use the ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 operation (path: /proactivecopilot/executeAsyncV2). This is the only endpoint that reliably returns agent responses synchronously. It is the same endpoint used by Power Automate's "Execute Agent and wait" action.
const result = await MicrosoftCopilotStudioService.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2({
message: "Your prompt or data here", // Can be a JSON string
notificationUrl: "https://notificationurlplaceholder" // Required by API but unused; any URL works
});
// Response structure:
// result.responses — Array of response strings from the agent
// result.conversationId — The conversation ID
// result.lastResponse — The last response from the agent
// result.completed — Boolean indicating if the agent finished
Important: Agents often return responses as JSON strings. Parse the responses array to extract meaningful data:
const agentResponse = result.responses?.[0];
if (agentResponse) {
const parsed = JSON.parse(agentResponse);
// Extract specific fields, e.g., parsed.trend_summary
}
Use Grep to find specific methods in the generated service file (generated files can be very large — see connector-reference.md).
/execute) -- fire-and-forget, only returns ConversationId, not the actual response. Do NOT use this./executeAsync) -- returns 502 "Cannot read server response" errors. Do NOT use this./conversations/{ConversationId}) -- only works after /execute, which doesn't provide responses. Do NOT use this.conversationId, ConversationId, conversationID.npm run build
Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, agent name configured, configured operations, build status.
Take microsoft/add-mcscopilot from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
