Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: MCP_CONFIG_PATH, DATAVERSE_ENV_URL

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dataverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dataverse"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_CONFIG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DATAVERSE_ENV_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dataverse --env MCP_CONFIG_PATH=your-value --env DATAVERSE_ENV_URL=your-value -- npx -y mcp-dataverse

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dataverse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dataverse"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_CONFIG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DATAVERSE_ENV_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "dataverse": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-dataverse"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_CONFIG_PATH": "your-value",
        "DATAVERSE_ENV_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

MCP_CONFIG_PATH env
Path to a config.json file (overrides all other env vars). Recommended for VS Code / Claude Desktop setups.
DATAVERSE_ENV_URL env
Your Dataverse environment URL

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is MCP Dataverse safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.10) reached the registry 24 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Dataverse

An MCP server for Microsoft Dataverse.

100 tools · 4 resources · 5 guided workflows · Three auth modes

[→ Full Documentation](https://codeurali.github.io/mcp-dataverse)

Why MCP Dataverse?

AI agents hallucinate schema, guess column names, and build broken OData queries. This server gives them real-time access to your Dataverse environment — schema, records, metadata, solutions — through the Model Context Protocol.

Three auth modes — device code (local), client credentials (CI/CD), managed identity (Azure-hosted)
Works with any MCP client — VS Code, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex CLI
Atomic tools — each tool does one thing well; the AI picks the right one
Structured outputs — every response returns {summary, data, suggestions} as both text and MCP structuredContent (with a declared outputSchema on all core tools)
Guardrails — every tool declares read-only or destructive hints, and the riskiest operations require an explicit confirm: true
Encrypted token cache — AES-256-GCM cached credentials, kept out of tool output

Install

npx mcp-dataverse install

The interactive wizard configures your environment, registers the server in VS Code, and authenticates your Microsoft account in under 2 minutes.

Requires Node.js 20+. For other clients (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf…) see Multi-Client Setup.

Update

npx mcp-dataverse update

No re-config required — just checks your existing setup and shows what changed. npx auto-fetches the latest version on each run, so simply restarting your MCP client is enough to get the new tools.

Authentication

Three modes — choose based on where the server runs:

Mode	When to use
Device Code (default)	Local development — interactive Microsoft login, token cached on disk
Client Credentials	Unattended: CI/CD, Docker, Azure services — `authMethod: "client-credentials"` + App Registration
Managed Identity	Azure-hosted (App Service, Container Apps) — zero secrets, `authMethod: "managed-identity"`

Device code quick start: authentication triggers on the first tool call.

Open View → Output → MCP — a sign-in code appears
Go to https://microsoft.com/devicelogin, enter the code, sign in with your work account
Token is cached encrypted — all future starts are silent

For client credentials and managed identity setup, see Authentication docs.

→ Full Capabilities Reference

HTTP Transport

Run as an HTTP server for multi-client use:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3000 MCP_HTTP_SECRET=mysecret node dist/server.js

Env var	Default	Description
`MCP_TRANSPORT`	`stdio`	`http` enables the HTTP transport
`MCP_HTTP_PORT`	`3000`	Listen port (`/mcp` endpoint, `/health` probe)
`MCP_HTTP_SECRET` / `BEARER_TOKEN`	—	Static bearer token for inbound auth
`ENTRA_TENANT_ID` + `ENTRA_CLIENT_ID`	—	Validate inbound tokens as Entra v2.0 JWTs (RFC 9728 discovery auto-enabled)
`MCP_HTTP_SESSION_TTL_MS`	`1800000`	Idle session eviction timeout (30 min; `0` disables)
`MCP_HTTP_REQUIRE_AUTH`	—	`true` = refuse to start with no inbound auth configured
`MCP_HTTP_CORS_ORIGIN`	`*`	Allowed CORS origin — lock this down for hosted deployments
`MCP_HTTP_JSON_RESPONSE`	`true`	JSON responses (`false` = SSE streaming)

Connect using VS Code / Copilot with:

"servers": { "dataverse": { "type": "http", "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mysecret" } } } }

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
No sign-in prompt	Open View → Output → MCP — the device code is displayed there
`No MSAL accounts found`	Run `npx mcp-dataverse-auth` then restart the server
`Authentication timed out`	Restart the MCP server — a fresh code is generated automatically
Server not appearing in Agent mode	Run `npx mcp-dataverse install` or `npx mcp-dataverse doctor`
HTTP errors	Run `npx mcp-dataverse doctor` to diagnose config and connectivity

Performance Tip

MCP Dataverse is designed to be comprehensive, but most AI models work best with fewer tools in context. Deselect the tools you don't need in your client's tool picker (e.g. VS Code Chat panel) to keep the agent focused and responsive.

Roadmap

Version	Feature	Status
v0.4	HTTP transport + attribute management + schema consistency	✅ Released
v0.5	Enterprise auth (Client Credentials, Managed Identity, Entra JWT)	✅ Released
v0.6	MCP Prompts (5 templates) + MCP Resources (4)	✅ Released
v0.7	Schema write (create table/relationship) + Record Access (share, merge)	✅ Released (v0.7.5)
