# FlowStudio MCP for Power Automate

> FlowStudio MCP for Power Automate is an MCP server that lets AI agents (Microsoft Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible agent) build, deploy, debug, and monitor Power Automate cloud flows programmatically over JSON-RPC 2.0. FlowStudio is an independent product; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.

FlowStudio MCP exposes 27 active tools (32 total including 5 deprecated) as Model Context Protocol (MCP) operations: list flows, read flow definitions, deploy and update flows, inspect run history with action-level inputs and outputs, resubmit failed runs, manage connections and environments, and (on Pro+) tag and govern flows tenant-wide. Authentication uses Microsoft Entra delegated access with explicit user consent. FlowStudio calls the Power Automate API on the user's behalf, scoped to permissions the user approved. The hosted endpoint is `https://mcp.flowstudio.app/mcp` and is authenticated via per-workspace JWT (`x-api-key` header).

FlowStudio MCP is a SaaS product. Free Starter plan gives 100 evaluation calls over 21 days. Pro is $29/month (500 calls, optional overage at $0.10/call). Pro+ is $99/month (3,000 calls, optional overage at $0.05/call, plus tenant-wide store and governance features). FlowStudio Pro and Teams subscribers receive 100 bundled MCP calls per month. For Microsoft Copilot Cowork and tenant-wide use, FlowStudio MCP is also available as pooled tenant plans: a free Tenant Starter pool that is auto-provisioned when a tenant adds the FlowStudio MCP plugin and resets monthly, plus paid Team ($149/month launch price, $179 from 1 Oct 2026; 5,000 calls/month) and Business ($499/month; 15,000 calls/month) pools bought through the Microsoft commercial marketplace and shared across the tenant. Pooled calls can be spent from Copilot Cowork or any MCP-compatible agent, with per-person outside-Cowork access assigned by the tenant admin.

## Compatibility

FlowStudio MCP works with Microsoft Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot (VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, CLI), Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenAI Codex (Desktop and CLI), and any MCP-compatible agent that can call a remote MCP server over HTTP with a JSON-RPC 2.0 payload and an `x-api-key` header.

## Examples

Sample prompts your AI agent can run once FlowStudio MCP is connected:

- "List my Power Automate flows in the Default environment." Agent calls `list_live_flows` and returns flow IDs, display names, state, trigger type.
- "Why is my HR Sync flow failing? Read the latest run." Agent calls `get_live_flow_runs`, picks the most recent failed run, then `get_live_flow_run_action_outputs` to inspect inputs and outputs at every action level (including loop iterations and nested child flows). Returns the actual error message and the action that failed.
- "Build a Power Automate flow that triggers on new SharePoint list items in my Issues list and posts a card to the #issues Teams channel. Call it Issues Notifier." Agent calls `list_live_connections` to find SharePoint and Teams connections, `describe_live_connector` and `get_live_dynamic_options` to resolve dropdown values (site IDs, channel IDs), constructs the Workflow Definition Language JSON, and deploys via `update_live_flow`. The flow appears in Power Automate already deployed.
