Microsoft releases AI plugin for Power Automate flow management

Microsoft has released a plugin that enables AI agents, such as GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code, to interact directly with Power Automate environments. Utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the plugin allows these assistants to move beyond textual guidance to perform functional tasks within live cloud flows.

Through the FlowAgent MCP server, users can instruct AI agents in plain English to build new flows, perform surgical edits to existing ones, diagnose failed runs, and add error handling or documentation. The tool can inspect run histories, list connectors, and modify workflow JSON.

To maintain security, the agents operate using the user's delegated Microsoft identity or Azure CLI sign-in, ensuring all actions are governed and auditable. While the technology speeds up development and debugging, it is noted that human oversight remains necessary for complex logic and deployment verification.
