What is PBIXRay MCP Server?

PBIXRay MCP Server is a bridge that allows AI assistants to interact with Power BI files. It provides tools to explore data models, analyze structures, and access query languages (DAX/M) within .pbix files.

How to use PBIXRay MCP Server?

Simply configure the server in your AI client, then ask your assistant to analyze Power BI files. The server handles all the technical details while you get clear insights.

When should I use it?

Perfect for when you need to quickly understand Power BI files without opening Power BI Desktop, or when you want AI assistance with data model analysis.

Key Features

Data Model Exploration
Discover tables, relationships and metadata in Power BI data models
Query Language Access
View Power Query (M) code and DAX expressions (measures, calculated columns)
Data Structure Analysis
Examine schemas, relationships and sample table contents
Configurable Tools
Enable/disable specific features based on your security needs
Advantages
No Power BI Desktop required for basic analysis
AI-friendly interface through natural language
Lightweight alternative to full Power BI installation
Configurable security through tool restrictions
Limitations
Requires WSL for Windows users (path conversion needed)
