## What it does

This plugin connects your coding agent to Microsoft Dataverse and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations environments. It packages nine specialized skills, including `dv-query`, `dv-data`, `dv-metadata`, and `erp-xpp`. The agent routes instructions to the Dataverse MCP server, Dataverse CLI, PAC CLI, or Python SDK depending on the task.

You can inspect records, export datasets directly into pandas DataFrames, import CSV files with foreign keys, and adjust schemas for tables, forms, and views. Beyond record manipulation, the tooling covers environment maintenance: managing user roles, configuring retention policies, and migrating deployment packages across environments.

You must have an active Dataverse environment, such as a Power Apps subscription, Dynamics 365 plan, or a Power Apps Developer Plan. The MCP server will not run until you authenticate through the `dv-connect` setup routine.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**

### GitHub Copilot

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install dataverse@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- Query and aggregate Dataverse records using natural language and load them into pandas
- Import CSV datasets into multiple tables while preserving foreign-key relations
- Define and modify schema elements like tables, columns, relationships, and views
- Export, promote, and validate Dataverse solutions across environments
- Compile X++ classes and deploy packages for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

## Example prompts
- Show me my open deals over $100K closing this quarter
- Import this CSV into the contacts table
- Create a customer feedback table with name, rating, and comment columns

Build, query, and manage [Microsoft Dataverse](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/data-platform-intro) and linked Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations environments through natural language. The plugin teaches AI coding agents to drive the Dataverse MCP server, Dataverse CLI, Python SDK, and PAC CLI — from designing data models and answering CRM questions to deploying Dataverse solutions and Finance and Operations deployable packages.

| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| **dv-connect** | One-time setup that installs the Dataverse CLI, Python SDK, and PAC CLI; authenticates against your Dataverse environment; and registers the Dataverse MCP server with your agent. |
| **dv-query** | Reads, filters, paginates, and aggregates Dataverse records. Handles natural-language questions like *"show me my open deals"*, multi-page result sets, and pandas DataFrame loading for notebook analysis. |
| **dv-data** | Single-record CRUD plus bulk import — CSV loads, multi-table imports with foreign-key dependencies, upsert by alternate key, and AI-generated sample data. |
| **dv-metadata** | Authors and edits the Dataverse data model: tables, columns, relationships, forms, and views. |
| **dv-solution** | Manages solution lifecycle — create, export, import, promote across environments, and validate deployments. |
| **erp-xpp** | Handles the Finance and Operations X++ lifecycle: model and metadata authoring, matching SDK installation, compile/build, deployable package deployment, database synchronization, and verification of custom services/APIs, runnable X++ classes, and public OData data entities. |
| **dv-admin** | Environment-level administration: bulk delete, retention/archival, organization settings, OrgDB settings, recycle bin, audit, and the allowlisted PPAC toggles. |
| **dv-security** | Assigns security roles, manages user access, adds application users, configures business units, and handles admin self-elevation. |
| **dv-overview** | Cross-cutting rules and tool routing; loaded before any other skill to direct each request to the right specialist. |

## Prerequisites

A Microsoft Dataverse environment, available through Power Apps, Dynamics 365, or Power Platform plans, or via the free [Power Apps Developer Plan](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/plan).

## Install

### Quick install — any agent, incl. JetBrains (npx)

One command installs **all** Dataverse skills and lets you choose which agent(s) to add them to:

```bash
npx skills add microsoft/Dataverse-skills -s "*"
```

- `-s "*"` installs every Dataverse skill (skips the per-skill prompt).
- You'll be prompted to pick which **agent(s)** to install into (Codex, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, …).
- Add `-g` to install **globally** so the skills are available in every project on your machine:

```bash
npx skills add microsoft/Dataverse-skills -s "*" -g
```

This is the recommended path for **JetBrains IDEs (PyCharm, Rider)** via Codex or Claude, and works with any agent that reads local skills. After installing, ask your agent to **"Connect to Dataverse"** — the `dv-connect` skill fetches the helper scripts and walks through authentication and MCP registration.

The per-marketplace installs below are alternatives for agents that have a dedicated plugin listing.

### GitHub Copilot

```bash
/plugin install dataverse@awesome-copilot
```

### Claude Code

```bash
/plugin install dataverse@claude-plugins-official
```

### Gemini CLI

Install the extension from the public repository. Gemini CLI selects the
generic extension archive attached to the latest GitHub Release:

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/microsoft/Dataverse-skills --skip-settings
gemini extensions config dataverse DATAVERSE_URL --scope workspace
```
