Build Power Automate Flows with Claude Code | FlowAgent MCP Setup 2026

Want to build Power Automate cloud flows just by describing them in plain English? In this step-by-step tutorial, I connect Claude Code to Power Automate using Microsoft's official Power Automate plugin and the FlowAgent MCP server — then build, validate and test a real SharePoint-triggered email flow in under two minutes, without opening the flow designer.

This is the follow-up to my Claude Code + Power Apps Canvas App episode. This time we go fully into AI-driven automation: you describe the trigger, the action and the result, and Claude Code discovers the right connector operations, builds the flow definition, validates it and creates the flow in your Power Platform environment.
