Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

visuals

find_visuals

Search the SmartVisuals catalog by keyword. Returns matching Power BI custom visuals with their slug, name, publication status and a reason explaining why each result matched. Use this to discover which visual fits a reporting need (e.g. 'retention cohort', 'radar comparison', 'time series forecast').

list_visuals

List every visual in the SmartVisuals catalog. Optionally filter by publication status: 'live' (published on Microsoft Marketplace), 'in-review' (submitted, awaiting Marketplace review) or 'coming-soon' (in development). Returns slug, name, shortName and status for each visual.

binding

get_binding_example

Return the PBIR (Power BI Report) layout snippet and binding notes for a SmartVisuals visual. The snippet includes the publicCustomVisuals GUID array and a queryState template with placeholder field references for each required data role. Use this when you need to programmatically add a SmartVisuals visual to a Power BI report layout file.

visual

get_visual

Return the full catalog entry for one SmartVisuals Power BI custom visual, including its GUID, data roles (field wells), version, description, use cases, free-tier limits, premium features and diagnostic flags. Use after find_visuals to inspect a specific visual.

SmartVisuals Catalog — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SmartVisuals Catalog do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_visuals, get_binding_example, get_visual, list_visuals. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is SmartVisuals Catalog working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 91 checks got a reply (13.2%), average response time 284 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists SmartVisuals Catalog as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect SmartVisuals Catalog?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does SmartVisuals Catalog need an API key?

No. SmartVisuals Catalog completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is SmartVisuals Catalog?

It answers our handshake in 284 ms on average, which is faster than 48% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
