About pbi-desktop-mcp-public
maxanatsko/pbi-desktop-mcp-public
The MCP Engine is a Power BI tool that lets AI assistants like Claude interact with your Power BI models programmatically: read your model structure, run DAX queries, create and modify measures, manage relationships, and perform advanced analytics - all through natural conversation.
Implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server standard, enabling seamless integration with Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients through stdio transport. Features built-in rollback capabilities and dry-run testing to prevent unintended model changes, with all processing occurring locally—zero telemetry, no cloud data transmission. Supports Windows and macOS platforms, maintaining full compatibility with Power BI Desktop's native file format for direct model manipulation.
