    List Connections

    Lists all Power Platform connections in the current environment using the Power Apps CLI.

    Workflow

    1. Fetch Connections → 2. Present Results

    Step 1: Fetch Connections

    Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as $PA connection list (npx --no-install pa …), never a bare pa. On power-apps-only projects, translate to power-apps list-connections.

    pa connection list

    If the CLI is not authenticated, it will open a browser for login automatically. Complete the login and retry.

    Other failures:

    • Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: Report the exact output. STOP.
    • No output or empty results: Verify the correct environment ID is set in power.config.json, then retry once.

    Step 2: Present Results

    Show the connection list to the user. The Connection ID is what goes into -c <connection-id> when adding a data source.

    If the needed connector is missing:

    1. Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection
    2. Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in/consent flow
    3. Re-run /list-connections to get the new connection ID
