Improvado's MCP server connects Power BI workspaces to AI agents. Query datasets, inspect DAX measures, check report usage, and extract insights — all in plain English. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible tool.
Skip the report navigation. Ask your AI agent for the numbers you need — revenue by region, dashboard refresh status, dataset row counts, or DAX measure values — and get answers in seconds.
Your AI agent reads harmonized data across 500+ platforms. "Cost" in Google Ads and "spend" in Meta Ads resolve to the same field automatically.
Trigger dataset refreshes, update report parameters, publish new report versions, and manage workspace access — all through natural language. Routine Power BI admin work handled in one prompt.
250+ governance rules enforce naming conventions, budget limits, and KPI thresholds. SOC 2 Type II certified.
Your AI agent watches Power BI for dataset refresh failures, capacity overages, and report access anomalies. Get notified before stakeholders notice something is wrong.
Automated weekly reports, anomaly flagging, and budget alerts — all from a single conversation. No more morning check-ins across 5 dashboards.
Trigger dataset refreshes, update report parameters, publish new report versions, and manage workspace access — all through natural language. Routine Power BI admin work handled in one prompt.
Every phase runs through the same MCP connection. One protocol, all platforms, full governance. No switching between tools.
A key sales dashboard refreshes at 6am. The refresh fails silently. At 9am, the VP of Sales presents stale data to the board. Nobody knew because the failure notification went to an unmonitored inbox and nobody manually checks refresh history.
Improvado's MCP server monitors Power BI refresh status continuously. When a failure occurs, your AI agent sends an immediate notification with the error detail and dataset name — before the first report consumer opens the dashboard.
A stakeholder emails asking for the current pipeline coverage ratio from the CRM Opportunities report. You have to open Power BI, navigate to the workspace, find the report, filter to the right page, locate the visual, and copy the number. For one data point. Multiple times per day.
Ask your AI agent directly. The MCP server queries the Power BI dataset behind the report and returns the exact measure value — without opening any report. Stakeholder questions answered in seconds, not minutes.
The organization has 300+ reports across 20 workspaces. Identifying stale reports, finding who has access to sensitive datasets, auditing refresh schedules, and cleaning up unused content requires clicking through each workspace manually or building custom scripts against the Admin API.
Your AI agent runs governance queries across all Power BI workspaces through one MCP connection. Surface stale reports, audit dataset access, find orphaned dashboards, and generate a cleanup plan in minutes instead of days.
Same MCP connection, different workflows for every team member. Agency CEOs get portfolio health. Media Strategists get campaign QA. Analysts get cross-platform reports. Account Managers get auto-generated QBR decks. Creative Directors get performance-based briefs.
Each role asks in natural language. The MCP server handles the complexity — rate limits, auth, schema normalization, governance — behind the scenes.
Datasets and their schemas, report metadata and page structure, dashboard tiles and measure values, workspace contents and access lists, refresh history and schedules, and capacity utilization metrics. Essentially everything exposed through the Power BI REST API, queryable in plain English.
Yes. Write operations include triggering dataset refreshes, updating report parameters, managing workspace access, and publishing report versions. All operations require confirmation before execution and are logged in the Power BI audit log.
Power BI Service (cloud) is fully supported. Power BI Embedded workspaces that use the same REST API are also compatible. Power BI Report Server (on-premises) has limited API support — contact Improvado to discuss your specific setup.
Power BI's Q&A feature works within individual reports and is limited to that report's data model. Improvado's MCP server works across all your workspaces and datasets simultaneously, integrates into any AI tool you already use, and can combine Power BI data with data from other platforms in one query.
The Power BI MCP integration uses the Power BI REST API, which is available to Power BI Pro and Premium users. Some API endpoints — particularly those for accessing datasets in shared workspaces or using the Execute Queries API — require at least a Pro license for both the integration's service account and the workspace. Premium Per User or Premium capacity licenses unlock additional API capabilities, but basic report and dataset metadata access is available at the Pro tier. Check Microsoft's Power BI REST API documentation for the license requirements of specific endpoints you intend to use.
Yes, the Power BI MCP integration supports the Execute Queries API endpoint, which allows DAX queries to be run against published semantic models (datasets) in your Power BI workspace. An AI agent can translate a natural-language question into a DAX query, execute it against the appropriate dataset, and return the results as a structured answer. This is a powerful capability for analysts who want to interrogate certified Power BI models without opening Power BI Desktop or building a new report.
Connect your data to an AI agent in under 60 seconds. The closed loop starts with one conversation.
