Build Canvas Apps with AI (MCP Server)

A Power Platform / Canvas App MCP Server is a new (preview) capability that connects AI tools (like GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Copilot Studio agents) directly to your Power Apps using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

1. You describe what you want to build in natural language, for example, “Create a canvas app for tracking expense reports with an approval workflow.”
2. The AI code generation tool uses installed canvas app skills to discover available controls, connectors, and data sources. It asks clarifying questions about your requirements.
3. The tool generates .pa.yaml files that define your app screens, controls, and Power Fx formulas.
4. The tool validates the generated code by using the canvas app authoring MCP server and fixes any errors.
5. Your canvas app syncs with Power Apps Studio through the coauthoring session.

Requirements:

1. .NET 10 SDK
2. Latest version of NodeJs
3. PowerShell 7
4. VS Code
5. Copilot Github
