Debug, build, and manage Power Automate cloud flows with AI. Ask Copilot to find why a flow failed, build new flows, or check run history — no portal needed.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Debug, build, and manage Power Automate cloud flows with AI — no portal needed.
Ask Copilot why a flow failed, build new flows from natural language, or check run history across tenants. This extension connects the Flow Studio MCP server to GitHub Copilot Chat, giving your AI agent direct access to the Power Automate API.
Why install this?
Find root causes in seconds — get action-level error details, not just "An action failed". See exactly which action broke, what inputs it received, and what went wrong.
Build flows without the portal — describe what you want in natural language and your AI agent creates the flow definition, wires connections, and deploys it.
Work across multiple tenants — connect to different clients or environments from a single VS Code window.
No context switching — stay in your editor. No portal tabs, no clicking through run history.
When prompted, paste your API key — or use Flow Studio: Add Tenant Connection from the command palette
Usage
In GitHub Copilot Chat, ask questions like:
"List my Power Automate flows"
"Why did this flow fail?"
"Show me the last 5 runs of the daily report flow"
"Create a new flow that sends a Teams message when a SharePoint item is created"

Multi-Tenant Support
Connect to multiple tenants from the command palette:
Flow Studio: Add Tenant Connection — add a new tenant
Flow Studio: Remove Tenant Connection — remove a tenant
Flow Studio: List Connections — view all configured tenants
Each tenant appears as a separate MCP server in Copilot Chat. API keys are stored securely in the OS keychain (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain) — not in settings files.
