Foundation skill (flowstudio-power-automate-mcp) rewritten to use the server's new tool_search and list_skills meta-tools (v1.1.5+) for discovery instead of cataloging every tool by hand. Cut from 519 to 295 lines. New "Which Skill to Use When" intent-keyed decision tree points at the four specialized skills. Build/debug/governance/monitoring updated for use-case framing. Tools that genuinely cross tiers (e.g. debug skill borrowing get_store_flow_summary) are correct when the workflow needs them — the split between skills is by use-case intent, not by tool partition. Build skill: new Step 3a Resolving Dynamic Connector Values covers get_live_dynamic_options outer-parameter auto-bridge (v1.1.6+) and the AadGraph user-picker fallback via shared_office365users.SearchUserV2 (replaces broken builtInOperation:AadGraph.GetUsers). Debug skill: Outlook user-picker failure note pointing at the fallback. Monitoring skill description disambiguates from the server's monitor-flow tool bundle (runtime control of a single flow) — this skill is tenant-wide health analytics over the cached store. All 5 skills validate via npm run skill:validate; line endings LF only; codespell clean; auto-regenerated docs/README.skills.md included.
FlowStudio Power Automate Plugin
Give your AI agent the same visibility you have in the Power Automate portal. The Graph API only returns top-level run status — agents can't see action inputs, loop iterations, nested failures, or who owns a flow. Flow Studio MCP exposes all of it.
This plugin includes five skills covering the full lifecycle: connect, debug, build, monitor, and govern Power Automate cloud flows.
Requires a FlowStudio MCP subscription.
What Agents Can't See Today
| What you see in the portal | What agents see via Graph API |
|---|---|
| Action inputs and outputs | Run passed or failed (no detail) |
| Loop iteration data | Nothing |
| Child flow failures | Top-level error code only |
| Flow health and failure rates | Nothing |
| Who built a flow, what connectors it uses | Nothing |
Flow Studio MCP fills these gaps.
Installation
copilot plugin install flowstudio-power-automate@awesome-copilot
What's Included
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
flowstudio-power-automate-mcp |
Foundation skill — auth setup, the reusable MCP helper (Python + Node.js), tool discovery via list_skills/tool_search, oversized-response handling. Load first. |
flowstudio-power-automate-debug |
Step-by-step diagnostic workflow — action-level inputs and outputs, not just error codes. Identifies root cause across nested child flows and loop iterations. |
flowstudio-power-automate-build |
Build and deploy flow definitions from scratch — scaffold triggers, wire connections, deploy, and test via resubmit. |
flowstudio-power-automate-monitoring |
Flow health from the cached store — failure rates, run history with remediation hints, maker inventory, Power Apps, environment and connection counts. |
flowstudio-power-automate-governance |
Governance workflows — classify flows by business impact, detect orphaned resources, audit connectors, manage notification rules, compute archive scores. |
The first three skills call the live Power Automate API. The monitoring and governance skills read from a cached daily snapshot with aggregated stats and governance metadata.
Prerequisites
- A FlowStudio MCP subscription
- MCP endpoint:
https://mcp.flowstudio.app/mcp - API key (passed as
x-api-keyheader — not Bearer)
Getting Started
-
Install the plugin
-
Get your API key at mcp.flowstudio.app
-
Configure the MCP connection in VS Code (
.vscode/mcp.json):{ "servers": { "flowstudio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.flowstudio.app/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "<YOUR_TOKEN>" } } } } -
Ask Copilot to list your flows, debug a failure, build a new flow, check flow health, or run a governance review
