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
# Configure the Canvas Authoring MCP Server This skill configures the Canvas Authoring MCP server for the user's current Power Apps coauthoring session. The MCP server is auto-registered by the plugin — this skill connects it to a specific app session. ## Instructions ### 1. Ask for the studio URL Ask the user: > What is the URL of your canvas app studio session? > > Copy the URL from the browser address bar while your app is open in Power Apps Designer (it should look like `https://make.powerapps.com/e/Default-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/canvas/?action=edit&app-id=...`). > > Make sure coauthoring is enabled in the app (Settings → Updates → Coauthoring). > > **Keep this browser tab open for the entire session.** The MCP server communicates with Power Apps through the coauthoring session tied to that tab. Closing the tab ends the coauthoring session, which prevents `compile_canvas` and `sync_canvas` from working and means you can't see or save generated changes. ### 2. Extract parameters from the URL Parse the following from the studio URL: - **ENV_ID**: the path segment between `/e/` and the next `/` (e.g. `Default-91bee3d9-0c15-4f17-8624-c92bb8b36ead`). …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/configure-canvas-mcp@sha256:08628c983d061528The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
