Power Platform Orchestration Agent

An intelligent conversational orchestration agent that automates enterprise-level Power Platform project setup and management through client-agnostic MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

Overview

This agent reduces project setup time from weeks to hours while ensuring consistency and compliance with enterprise standards. Built with native MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, it provides a client-agnostic interface that can be used with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, custom applications, and automation tools.

Key Features

• Template-Based Project Setup: Standard "S Project" template with 3 environments and 12-week duration
• Azure DevOps Orchestration: Full project, sprint, and repository automation using MCP servers
• Power Platform Integration: Environment provisioning and data model deployment via direct API integration
• Client-Agnostic Interface: MCP protocol enables integration with any compatible client (Claude Desktop, custom apps, automation tools)
• Enterprise Security: Service Principal authentication and comprehensive audit logging
• Zero External Dependencies: Direct API integration without workflow engines

Technology Stack

• MCP Protocol: Client-agnostic integration layer supporting multiple clients
• Azure DevOps MCP: Project and work item management
• Power Platform APIs: Direct Dataverse Web API and Admin API integration
• TypeScript: Strongly typed, enterprise-grade codebase
• Node.js: Runtime environment

Quick Start

For MCP Client Usage (Recommended)

# Install globally for npx usage
npm install -g power-platform-orchestration-agent

# Run MCP server
npx power-platform-orchestrator

# Or install locally and run
git clone https://github.com/your-org/power-platform-orchestration-agent
cd power-platform-orchestration-agent
npm install
npm run build
npm run start:mcp

For Development

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/your-org/power-platform-orchestration-agent
cd power-platform-orchestration-agent
npm install

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Configure your environment variables
# Edit .env with your Azure credentials

# Build the project
npm run build

# Start MCP server in development mode
npm run mcp:dev

Configuration

Required Environment Variables

Minimal Setup (Recommended for first-time users):

# Azure DevOps Configuration
AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG=your-org-name
AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT=your-personal-access-token

# Azure Authentication
AZURE_USE_INTERACTIVE_AUTH=true
AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id

Full Setup (If you already have Service Principal):

# Azure DevOps Configuration
AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG=your-org-name
AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT=your-personal-access-token

# Azure Service Principal
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-service-principal-client-id
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-service-principal-secret
AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id

Note: The system can help create Azure Service Principals through interactive authentication if you don't have one already.

MCP Integration

This project provides a unified MCP server that orchestrates multiple service integrations:

Available MCP Tools

1. create_project - Create new Power Platform projects with Azure DevOps integration
2. get_project_status - Monitor project creation progress and status
3. list_templates - List available project templates
4. validate_prd - Validate Project Requirements Documents
5. get_template_details - Get detailed template information

Service Integrations

• Azure DevOps: Project creation, work item management, repository setup
• Power Platform: Environment provisioning, solution management, component deployment
• Microsoft Graph: App registration, service principal creation, permission management

Client Configuration

For Claude Desktop, add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "power-platform-orchestrator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["power-platform-orchestration-agent"],
      "env": {
        "AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG": "your-org",
        "AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT": "your-token",
        "AZURE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-secret",
        "AZURE_TENANT_ID": "your-tenant-id"
      }
    }
  }
}
