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
