Power BI MCP server: ask questions, get governed answers
A Microsoft business intelligence platform that holds datasets, reports, dashboards and workspaces built from company data sources.
Try it on your own data in a pilot.
Power BI dashboard questions you can ask
Typical questions from BI and analytics. Each answer shows the definition, source and query behind it.
- Which reports have been viewed the most in the last 30 days?
- Which datasets have failed refresh in the past week?
- How many reports exist in each workspace?
- List reports not viewed in the last 90 days
- Compare report usage by month over the last two quarters
How Nexatron connects to Power BI
- Whose permissions
- Your administrator approves the access the Power BI connection uses. Where Power BI supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
- Read and write
- Questions are read-only: asking never changes Power BI data.
- Setup
- Our team sets up the Power BI connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.
Power BI MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot
Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed Power BI MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your Power BI data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.
Connect Power BI to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot
- Connect Power BI to your Nexatron workspace.
- In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL
https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp. - Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your Power BI questions.
Power BI connector FAQ
- Can I ask Power BI questions without writing queries?
- Yes. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
- Does Nexatron respect Power BI permissions?
- Yes. Where Power BI supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access.
- Can Nexatron change data in Power BI?
- No. Asking a question never changes Power BI data.
- What do I need to connect Power BI?
- An administrator who can approve the connection. Our team sets it up with them during the pilot.
- Is there a Power BI MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
- Yes: Nexatron's hosted MCP server, once Power BI is connected to your workspace. It is Nexatron's server, not one published by Power BI, and the assistant gets the same governed answer as the Nexatron app.
Try Nexatron on your own Power BI data
A pilot starts with three questions your team already asks and the report you trust for each, so you can check the answers yourself.
