List Connections
Finds or creates a Power Platform connection with the Power Apps CLI. Returns the Connection ID or Connection Reference that callers feed into npx power-apps add-data-source.
Workflow
- Get Connection → 2. Present Results
Step 1 — Get Connection
Use one of the supported paths below.
If the caller already provided a connection ID, validate the connector/API ID from context and return it as-is for --connection-id.
If the caller provided a connector API ID and needs a new connection, create it from the app root:
npx power-apps create-connection --api-id <api-id> --json
Use the returned connectionId for --connection-id <connectionId>. Optional display names are supported:
npx power-apps create-connection --api-id <api-id> --display-name '<display-name>' --json
Browser-based connection creation is disabled by default. If the connector is not SSO-eligible and the command reports that browser creation is disabled, tell the user to either set POWERAPPS_CLI_ENABLE_BROWSER_CONNECTION=true and rerun the command, or create the connection in the maker portal.
Step 1b — Fetch Connection References When Solution-Aware
If the caller provided a solution ID and needs a connection reference name, list connection references from the app root:
npx power-apps list-connection-references --solution-id <solution-id> --json
If a matching connection reference exists, return its reference name for --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If npx power-apps create-connection or list-connection-references fails because of auth, wrong user, multiple accounts, no output, or timeout, follow shared-instructions command-failure handling and retry once.
Other failures:
- Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: report the exact output. STOP.
Step 2 — Present Results
Show the supported add path. A Connection ID goes into --connection-id <connection-id> when adding a data source. When Step 1b was requested, also show matching connection references; a Connection Reference goes into --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If the needed connector is missing:
- Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (read from
power.config.jsonenvironmentId):https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections→ + New connection - Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in / consent flow
- Rerun
/list-connections <api-id>or provide the portal connection ID so the data-source skill can continue

Adds Work IQ (M365 Copilot Search) to a Power Apps code app via the Work IQ Copilot MCP connector (shared_a365copilotchatmcp), then wires up a production-ready McpSession wrapper for AI-powered, knowledge-grounded search and chat. Use when integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot search/chat. The CopilotChat tool searches internal Microsoft 365 content (documents, emails, chats, sites, files) across your organization — prefer workload-specific tools (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Mail) when the workload is explicit; do not use it for general knowledge, news, public web, or external information.
