One-step setup and connection diagnostics for a Dataverse environment — installs tools, authenticates, registers MCP, writes `.env`, and verifies active profiles and linked ERP endpoints. Use when starting a new project, switching environments, fixing authentication, troubleshooting MCP, or checking existing Dataverse / Finance and Operations connectivity or linkage.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Connect One-step, idempotent Dataverse connection. Each step checks if it's already done and skips. > **Environment-First Rule** — All metadata and plugin registrations are created **in the environment** via API/scripts, then pulled into the repo. Never hand-write solution XML to create components. **Execute steps in order; do not skip ahead.** **Exception:** Step 0 can short-circuit the flow if the workspace is already set up. > **Host entry test (FIRST — before Step 0).** A **local Windows/macOS host is capable by default, whichever agent drives it** — it can run the CLIs, use persistent credentials, and host local MCP servers; an approval/sandbox gate isn't a constraint, and a **missing CLI = install it**. **Constrained only when** a runtime **can't start**, auth **can't persist**, or the host is explicitly **ChatGPT Work Mode / Codex cloud / CI / no-keyring Linux** (deterministic table: [headless-hosts.md](references/headless-hosts.md)). **Constrained →** install **only** Python + pip deps, `.env`, `scripts/auth.py`, verify `python scripts/auth.py --check`, **skip** CLI / PAC / MCP. **Capable →** normal flow below. --- …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/dataverse-skills/dv-connect@sha256:ea09c8b403a5c22aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.8d0b654, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
