Power Platform Developer Suite

Build License: MIT .NET Docs

Developer platform for Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse. PPDS ships a CLI, TUI, VS Code extension, MCP server, and NuGet libraries — each surface independently consumable, all developed in parallel. Install only what you need.

v1.0 Highlights

  • SQL query engine with an SSMS-like experience, TDS endpoint routing, and DML support
  • VS Code extension with profile/environment management, solutions browser, and .ppdsnb notebooks
  • Interactive TUI with menu-driven workflows for exploration and one-off tasks
  • MCP server exposing 20+ Dataverse tools to AI assistants
  • Declarative plugin registration via attributes — no Plugin Registration Tool required
  • Fast bulk data operations over pooled Dataverse connections

See docs/whats-new-v1.md for the full v1.0 feature inventory.
