Summary

Adds a concise public README for the com.microsoft/dataverse MCP Registry entry in microsoft/Dataverse-skills. In response to GitHub Partnerships' guidance, it describes what the Dataverse MCP server does, how to start its local proxy, and a simple example of using it.

What the README covers

  • Describes the Dataverse capabilities available to AI agents and the @microsoft/dataverse local stdio package.
  • Gives a quick-start command and instructs users to substitute their environment URL and sign in when prompted.
  • Shows an example request to list Dataverse tables.
  • Directs users to Microsoft Learn before setup for prerequisites, authentication, and client-specific configuration; detailed instructions remain there.
  • Links to the Dataverse MCP overview and tools, the official registry listing, and the Dataverse skills plugin.

Scope

The PR changes only mcp/README.md relative to current main. It does not add the Dataverse CLI source, duplicate the full setup guide, change server.json or CLI metadata, change plugin content or versions, or publish a release. Updating the CLI's registry metadata to point at this public repository remains a separate follow-up after merge.

Validation

  • python .github/evals/static_checks.py: passed.
  • python .github/evals/version_bump_check.py --base origin/main: passed; no bump needed.
  • Verified the Learn local-proxy section and overview URLs, registry link, and relative plugin README target.

Add mcp/README.md as the public repository home for the
com.microsoft/dataverse MCP Registry entry (@microsoft/dataverse on npm),
following the com.microsoft/nuget precedent (README-only subfolder).
Link it from the root README. No plugin or harness behavior changes.

…ADME

The MCP Registry entry exists for parity with registry-listed servers in
MCP clients, not as an alternative to the plugin. Remove the root README
pointer and lead mcp/README.md with a recommendation to install the
Dataverse skills plugin.

This should be goto MS Learn page as a dedicated permanent place for it, with a link in this repo's readme (so that they can be known & maintained when this repo/mcp related things gets updated)

probably here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/data-platform-mcp-other-clients (repo : https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/powerapps-docs/blob/main/powerapps-docs/maker/data-platform/data-platform-mcp-other-clients.md)
or just reuse that ms learn page as the readme or add new new page on this mslearn and use that for our mcp readme link/page
