list-connections
The list-connections skill retrieves all Power Platform connections available in the current environment by executing the Power Apps CLI command. Use this skill when you need to obtain a specific connection ID before configuring a data source or connector in a canvas app, or to verify that a required connector has been created and authenticated in your environment.

# List Connections
Lists all Power Platform connections in the current environment using the Power Apps CLI.
## Workflow
1. Fetch Connections → 2. Present Results
---
### Step 1: Fetch Connections
```bash
npx power-apps list-connections
```
If the CLI is not authenticated, it will open a browser for login automatically. Complete the login and retry.
**Other failures:**
- Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: Report the exact output. STOP.
- No output or empty results: Verify the correct environment ID is set in `power.config.json`, then retry once.
### Step 2: Present Results
Show the connection list to the user. The **Connection ID** is what goes into `-c <connection-id>` when adding a data source.
**If the needed connector is missing:**
1. Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (from `power.config.json` or a prior step): `https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections` → **+ New connection**
2. Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in/consent flow
3. Re-run `/list-connections` to get the new connection IDGuide the user to add a data source, connection, or API connector to a Canvas App via Power Apps Studio, then verify and continue. USE WHEN the user asks to add a data source, add a connection, add an API, add a connector, connect to SharePoint / Dataverse / SQL / Excel / OneDrive / Teams / Office 365, or any similar request to make new data available to the app. DO NOT USE WHEN the user is asking to list or describe existing data sources — call list_data_sources or list_apis directly instead.
Creates or edits a Power Apps Canvas App through the Canvas Authoring MCP coauthoring session. Handles new app generation from requirements, simple inline edits, and complex multi-screen changes with parallel screen builders. Triggers on requests to create, build, generate, modify, update, change, or edit a Canvas App or .pa.yaml files.
Configure the Canvas Authoring MCP server for the current coauthoring session. USE WHEN "configure MCP", "set up MCP server", "MCP not working", "connect Canvas Apps MCP", "canvas-authoring not available", "MCP not configured", "set up canvas apps". DO NOT USE WHEN prerequisites are missing — direct the user to install .NET 10 SDK first.
[DEPRECATED — use canvas-app instead] Generate a complete Power Apps canvas app.
