# Setup Dataverse MCP for GitHub Copilot
This skill configures the Dataverse MCP server for GitHub Copilot with your organization's environment URL. Each organization is registered with a unique server name based on the org identifier (e.g., `DataverseMcporgbc9a965c`). If the user provided a URL it is: $ARGUMENTS.
## Instructions
### 0. Ask for MCP scope
Ask the user whether they want to configure the MCP server globally or for this project only:
> Would you like to configure the Dataverse MCP server:
> 1. **Globally** (available in all projects)
> 2. **Project-only** (available only in this project)
Based on their choice, set the `CONFIG_PATH` variable:
- **Global**: `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` (use the user's home directory)
- **Project**: `.mcp/copilot/mcp.json` (relative to the current working directory)
Store this path for use in steps 1 and 6.
### 1. Check already-configured MCP servers
Read the MCP configuration file at `CONFIG_PATH` (determined in step 0) to check for already-configured servers.
The configuration file is a JSON file with the following structure:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ServerName1": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://example.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Or it may use `"servers"` instead of `"mcpServers"` as the top-level key.
Extract all `url` values from the configured servers and store them as `CONFIGURED_URLS`. For example:
```json
["https://orgfbb52bb7.crm.dynamics.com/api/mcp"]
```
If the file doesn't exist or is empty, treat `CONFIGURED_URLS` as empty (`[]`). This step must never block the skill.
### 2. Ask how to get the environment URL
Ask the user:
> How would you like to provide your Dataverse environment URL?
> 1. **Auto-discover** — List available environments from your Azure account (requires Azure CLI)
> 2. **Manual entry** — Enter the URL directly
Based on their choice:
- If **Auto-discover**: Proceed to step 2a
- If **Manual entry**: Skip to step 2b
### 2a. Auto-discover environments
**Check prerequisites:**
- Verify Azure CLI (`az`) is installed (check with `which az` or `where az` on Windows)
- If not installed, inform the user and fall back to step 2b
**Make the API call:**
1. Check if the user is logged into Azure CLI:
```bash
az account show
```
If this fails, prompt the user to log in:
```bash
az login
```
2. Get an access token for the Power Apps API:
```bash
az account get-access-token --resource https://service.powerapps.com/ --query accessToken --output tsv
```
3. Call the Power Apps API to list environments:
```
GET https://api.powerapps.com/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/environments?api-version=2016-11-01
Authorization: Bearer {token}
Accept: application/json
```
4. Parse the JSON response and filter for environments where `properties.databaseType` is `"CommonDataService"`.
5. For each matching environment, extract:
- `properties.displayName` as `displayName`
- `properties.linkedEnvironmentMetadata.instanceUrl` (remove trailing slash) as `instanceUrl`
6. Create a list of environments in this format:
```json
[
{ "displayName": "My Org (default)", "instanceUrl": "https://orgfbb52bb7.crm.dynamics.com" },
{ "displayName": "Another Env", "instanceUrl": "https://orgabc123.crm.dynamics.com" }
]
```
**If the API call succeeds**, proceed to step 3.
**If the API call fails** (user not logged in, network error, no environments found, or any other error), tell the user what went wrong and fall back to step 2b.
### 2b. Manual entry — ask for the URL
Ask the user to provide their environment URL directly:
> Please enter your Dataverse environment URL.
>
> Example: `https://myorg.crm10.dynamics.com`
>
> You can find this in the Power Platform Admin Center under Environments.
Then skip to step 4.
### 3. Ask the user to select an environment
Present the environments as a numbered list. For each environment, check whether any URL in `CONFIGURED_URLS` starts with that environment's `instanceUrl` — if so, append **(already configured)** to the line.
> I found the following Dataverse environments on your account. Which one would you like to configure?
>
> 1. My Org (default) — `https://orgfbb52bb7.crm.dynamics.com` **(already configured)**
> 2. Another Env — `https://orgabc123.crm.dynamics.com`
>
> Enter the number of your choice, or type "manual" to enter a URL yourself.
If the user selects an already-configured environment, confirm that they want to re-register it (e.g. to change the endpoint type) before proceeding.
If the user types "manual", fall back to step 2b.
### 4. Confirm the selected URL
Take the `instanceUrl` from the chosen environment (or the manually entered URL) and strip any trailing slash. This is `USER_URL` for the remainder of the skill.
### 5. Confirm if the user wants "Preview" or "Generally Available (GA)" endpoint
Ask the user:
> Which endpoint would you like to use?
> 1. **Generally Available (GA)** — `/api/mcp` (recommended)
> 2. **Preview** — `/api/mcp_preview` (latest features, may be unstable)
Based on their choice:
- If **GA**: set `MCP_URL` to `{USER_URL}/api/mcp`
- If **Preview**: set `MCP_URL` to `{USER_URL}/api/mcp_preview`
### 6. Register the MCP server
Update the MCP configuration file at `CONFIG_PATH` (determined in step 0) to add the new server.
**Generate a unique server name** from the `USER_URL`:
1. Extract the subdomain (organization identifier) from the URL
- Example: `https://orgbc9a965c.crm10.dynamics.com` → `orgbc9a965c`
2. Prepend `DataverseMcp` to create the server name
- Example: `DataverseMcporgbc9a965c`
This is the `SERVER_NAME`.
**Update the configuration file:**
1. If `CONFIG_PATH` is for a **project-scoped** configuration (`.mcp/copilot/mcp.json`), ensure the directory exists first:
```bash
mkdir -p .mcp/copilot
```
2. Read the existing configuration file at `CONFIG_PATH`, or create a new empty config if it doesn't exist:
```json
{}
```
3. Determine which top-level key to use:
- If the config already has `"servers"`, use that
- Otherwise, use `"mcpServers"`
4. Add or update the server entry:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"{SERVER_NAME}": {
"type": "http",
"url": "{MCP_URL}"
}
}
}
```
5. Write the updated configuration back to `CONFIG_PATH` with proper JSON formatting (2-space indentation).
**Important notes:**
- Do NOT overwrite other entries in the configuration file
- Preserve the existing structure and formatting
- If `SERVER_NAME` already exists, update it with the new `MCP_URL`
Proceed to step 7.
### 7. Confirm success and instruct restart
Tell the user:
> ✅ Dataverse MCP server configured for GitHub Copilot at `{MCP_URL}`.
>
> Configuration saved to: `{CONFIG_PATH}`
>
> **IMPORTANT: You must restart your editor for the changes to take effect.**
>
> Restart your editor or reload the window, then you will be able to:
> - List all tables in your Dataverse environment
> - Query records from any table
> - Create, update, or delete records
> - Explore your schema and relationships
### 8. Troubleshooting
If something goes wrong, help the user check:
- The URL format is correct (`https://<org>.<region>.dynamics.com`)
- They have access to the Dataverse environment
- The environment URL matches what's shown in the Power Platform Admin Center
- Their Environment Admin has enabled "Dataverse CLI MCP" in the Allowed Clients list
- Their Environment has Dataverse MCP enabled, and if they're trying to use the preview endpoint that is enabled
- For project-scoped configuration, ensure the `.mcp/copilot/mcp.json` file was created successfully
- For global configuration, check permissions on the `~/.copilot/` directory
