This one needs environment variables set before it will start: POWERBI_TENANT_ID (Azure AD Tenant ID for PowerBI authentication), POWERBI_CLIENT_ID (Azure AD Application (Client) ID with PowerBI API access), POWERBI_CLIENT_SECRET (Azure AD Client Secret for service principal authentication). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

PowerBI MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for PowerBI MCP Server?

PowerBI MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package powerbi-mcp was installed 76 times last week.

How do I connect PowerBI MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls powerbi-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use PowerBI MCP Server?

The pypi package powerbi-mcp was installed 76 times in the last week. Week over week that is +1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is PowerBI MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
