add-data-source
Data sources, connections, and API connectors cannot be added by the coding agent — they must be added through the Power Apps Studio interface. This skill informs the user, guides them to add the connection in their Studio session, verifies it is available via the MCP server, and then continues with any pending work.
Phase 0 — Identify the Connection Type
From the user's request, determine what they want to add and how to verify it:
| Request type | Verify with |
|---|---|
| Data source (SharePoint list, Dataverse table, SQL table, Excel file, OneDrive, etc.) | list_data_sources |
| API / connector (Office 365 Users, Teams, custom connector, etc.) | list_apis |
| Unclear | Both list_data_sources and list_apis |
Note what the user is trying to add so you can look for it by name in Phase 3.
Phase 1 — Inform the User
Explain that this step requires action in their Studio session. Tell the user:
- The coding agent cannot add data sources or connections programmatically — this must be done directly in Power Apps Studio.
