MCP server for Power BI API integration

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyDeveloper ToolsData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that connects an assistant to the Power BI API for business analytics and data visualization work.

What you can do
  • Call the Power BI API from an assistant, with broad coverage of the API's endpoints
  • Work with business analytics and data visualization data held in Power BI
  • Rely on built-in rate limiting, error handling, retry logic and async support during API calls
  • Configure authentication and the API endpoint through environment variables
  • No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact operations are not documented here.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to reach Power BI content, such as reports or datasets, from a local desktop setup and you already have Power BI API access.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, installed from PyPI with uvx or pip (Python). Requires the POWERBI_API_KEY secret and optionally the POWERBI_API_URL environment variable; network access to the Power BI API. Desktop only.
Before you install
The server needs a Power BI API key stored in POWERBI_API_KEY, which grants access to your Power BI tenant data; keep it out of shared configs. Requests go to the Power BI API and, depending on the endpoint used, may read or change workspace content. The README does not document which operations are exposed or whether they write data.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Powerbi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
