Power Platform is Microsoft's set of low-code/automation business platforms, whose core components include Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Copilot Studio.
The client of IQ MCP Server requests three delegated Power BI permissions, which users can consent to themselves unless the tenant restricts user consent; therefore the consent policy is the administrator's actual point of control.
Fabric Core MCP Server manages resources, workspaces, items and roles; Fabric IQ MCP Server is read-only and only queries Power BI content, changing nothing.
Microsoft-hosted Fabric IQ MCP Server became generally available in September 2026, connecting AI agents and MCP clients to Power BI reports and semantic models in the form of a remote server.
Traditional BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI can connect to the same data sources, but require users to possess skills in data modeling and visualization configuration.
MCP hosts connect to the Core server via streamable HTTP, and then sign in with Microsoft Entra ID through a browser-based OAuth flow.
The path to data democratization has gone through three stages: early self-service BI (such as Tableau and Power BI), mid-period data catalog and governance systems, and conversational querying that emerged more recently with the maturation of LLMs.
The migration tool initiates migration by uploading PBIX, PBIT, or PBIP file formats, and has not yet been connected to live Power BI
The tool provides a validation function that compares, one by one, whether the value of each measure in Power BI matches that in Databricks
In the demo, approximately 10 out of 11 measures were successfully converted and approved, with only 1 unsupported, resulting in an automation rate of approximately 90%
